ITT: How to fix repeater issues and use cases for repeaters.

“Synchi does not try to be real-time, automatic, or invisible.”

What would be the down side if I tried to automate the sync. Say every 5min on Linux to android.

Handshake of death?

Can I Earn Rewards: Yes! You can earn PRE tokens for your searches. These tokens can be used to stake nodes, advertise on the platform, or traded on exchanges. The more you use Presearch, the more you earn.

I do not need to earn rewards from my intent searching.

Also. Seems like it’s ads. Just “decentralized” ads. Kinda like what Brave and Honey were doing - stopping ads and inserting there own.

OP I suggest there’s a reason noone mentions this shambles of a search engine.

FP5 does support VoIP and VoLTE. It can call 000.

The 3G service was shutdown. The telcos needed to ensure devices can call VoLTE incase of emergency.

FP5 does this. But it’s not officially sold here. So they see a modem there unsure of and now cant confirm if it will reliably call emergency. Easier for them to block it than see it works.

From what I understand the major telco had some priority VoLTE stuff that made orbit not work. The second major telco seemed to support it as they use more open standards. There’s one left and well have to see how that goes.

It also means telcos can now choose when to drop support for given phone models. Literally force users to upgrade handsets by turning them into WiFi only bricks.

You mean an international sim? I don’t think so. The FP website tells users to check the phone is supported in the clintry they travel to.

And no. Aus gov did nothing BEOFRE this happend. We FP5 users found somewhere that supported us and hit it out. But seems were found.

Basically. But Optus is joining the party too.

Thread goes back to the Telstra cutoff. Optus to do the same soon. Looks like TPG might be the last stand.

I’ll be interested to know what happens with FP6. Of your notbwoth TPG or a reseller of there’s you should have got a message by now.

People have. Some samsungs were blocked in the first perge. There was minimal outcry. The normies just got new phones.

… Also someone did die coz they went able to call emergency services. Something to do with the phone not updated and had not been blocked properly (otherwise they would have known they couldn’t call emergency). So it seems that’s kicked off a new wave of checks.

Search Telstra 3G shutdown. They were the first to block all in 2024 (and can confirm still blocked) Optus is now blocking on the 10th March. There’s one telco left in AU. Everyone else sells one of these three.

Much discussion in this FP5 thread. https://forum.fairphone.com/t/3g-network-closure-australia

Despite what people say the phone works and has all requirements for the network, VoLTE calling and emergency calling. The telcos tho don’t want to take a risk with “unknown” modems. So they disable network.

Except Primer. “Hmmersm in the mmmupffp” “Yeah but mmhhurmm the box”

Wow. Two FP posts in a night. Paste of my comment.

Faiphone is being frog marched out of Australia. Each telco is shutting it down and blocking IMEIs. Sucks for the people that imported them.

Cant even use it as data only. So unless you use it as puerly on WiFi it’s going to landfill. 😔.

Also. Lawnchair nightly/beta.

Always takes so long to load when I open it. I kept going back to voyager. Going to try some other suggestions though.

I dont think this is mentioned enough. These days it seems a given that you’ll install XYZ app on your personal phone, or use your personal PC for something.

No. If you require me to install something then I require a device to install it on.

I also think people dont realise that often throguh active exchange IT can fully wipe your device. And Ive seen too many shitty IT operators who would accidentally do this.

Tracker control does similar per app. And you can allow certain categories or domains through to the the minimal needed for the app to function.

Better yet. https://github.com/MarsHeer/offtiktok

I think it only works for following specific people though. Maybe need to self host for the whole thing it to work.

Christmas is just consumerism and destroys the environment. Glitter, tinsel and even trees drop so much micro plastic that will never break down.

Most ornaments eventually windup in land fill where they’ll last for basically ever.

The Grinch was right.
