How do you build complex shapes?
  • I use the professional version of Onshape for work. If you create all the parts that relate to each other in one part studio. It can be all contextual. So changes that are made to one part can automatically update on the mating part. I would recommend you watch onshapes introductory videos on their website. That are surprisingly informative and short and to the point. Also their help guide has almost a video for every tool in it.

  • That's good to know. I had at&t when I was looking but recently switched to Google Fi which I think primarily uses Tmo towers. But that sounds about right iirc based on when I was looking at them.

    I've been keeping tabs on it's xda forum and seems to have taken off much faster than the OnePlus 11's. There is only 4 roms that are solid enough to use daily. While it seemed like there is much more activity on the f5's forum.

  • Are you in the US? If so what carrier are you using. I was looking at the POCO F5 before getting a great deal on a OP11. I would have still staved money going with the POCO but ultimately chose the OnePlus because no carrier would tell me if the POCO would work or not on their towers. Bands wise it said it would but the carriers said unsupported.

    Anyway, I second this phone OP. It has great specs for the price. Having gone op5t > op7pro > OP11. The POCO was really tempting me besides the clarity on whether or not carriers would support it.

  • Janus Gryffin 450 prototype

    Over the past couple months I've had the pleasure to help develop and iterate this bike. 3 swingarms, 3 subframes, 2 forks & leading links, 2 seats, and a few different shock lengths to get to this point. It's going on a 1000 mile journey this weekend to check suspension geometry and highway cruising behavior. Hopefully only a few small tweaks if any afterwards other than cosmetics.

    Affordable Android Excellence: Best Smartphones Under $200 in 2024
  • My wife has a 6a. A few things that she has noticed but not deal breakers. After installing a glass screen protector the finger print reader is really hit and miss. I went to enable face unlock but Google doesn't allow it on the 6a. Custom ROM would solve that, however I don't know about graphene. Not the best cell reception. Not a huge case selection. At least compared to non (a) versions. Battery life under heavy use is just ok.

  • Interesting android launchers?
  • I like to switch it up to see what's out there pretty often though I've been using Nova since jellybean and before that it was ADW before development stopped for a while. However I like, Neo launcher (foss) for a trimmed down Nova like experience and Shade launcher also foss for a very simple yet pleasing to look at launcher. I find Kvaesito while a cool approach kind of buggy and not very smooth even on my OnePlus 11. Lunar launcher is also cool but not very customizable compared to Nova anyway. Really I just wish someone would bring Helix launcher to modern Android, probably mainly for nostalgia reasons.

  • LF>800+ Lumen, small rechargeable light
  • Noctigon KR4.

    Tail switch ✓ 800+ lumens ✓ USB rechargeable X

    However you can get 18650s with USB-C ports for charging. Or just grab a couple of decent Molicel batteries and an Eastshine 2 bay charger and just swap batteries.

    Worried about forgetting to swap batteries? The aux lights can function as a battery indicator. You can also click the button 3 times and it'll blink the battery voltage. So you should always know when to swap batteries.

    There is a ton of led choices. You can also get 2 of one and 2 of another if that tickles your fancy. High cri or raw output. Warm or cool color temperature.

    It's worth a look in my opinion.

    Another recommendation is the Sofirn SC31 pro

  • Small Android Phone
  • The Asus Zenfone 9 or 10 fits the majority of the spec list with a screen size of 5.92". It barely sits under 6" but it does. However the display size requirements of that website is a little confusing. First it says sub 6" then it says it must be 5.4" ish.

  • FOSS keyboard: Simple Keyboard by RKKR, swipe typing and AOSP looks.
  • I like openboard because of the similarities to gboard and this fits the bill well. However I do agree that this fork doesn't seem active. But I have a feeling that perhaps it was just a personal project to add swipe to openboard.

  • FOSS keyboard: Simple Keyboard by RKKR, swipe typing and AOSP looks.
  • That's bizarre. That's the same version I have. The only thing I can think of is that your system language isn't English and maybe it removes that option. ¯_ (ツ) _/¯ If that is the case it's unfortunate that it doesn't work for different languages.

    You could try switching the system language to verify that that is what is happening. I have no idea what kind of effort it takes to add that feature for other languages but you could always ask the Dev.

  • OnePlus Pad vs Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro vs Apple iPad Pro 12.9 (2022): Comparison
  • In terms of tablet scores yes. And I never said better but I did say closer. Even at that using kimovil as the source the 8 gen 2 in the Tab s9 ultra is only 1 percent behind the M2 in the iPad pro 6th gen. Which could be the difference between testing environments, thermal management, and straight up just better/worse quality silicon from chip to chip.

    As far as the Dimensity 9200, you said soc comparison not tablet.
