Voice input works really well for people speaking English with a Swedish accent. I think the accent of most educated Swedes is mostly a case of prosody. For sure there are some sounds we say slightly differently than native English speakers. We often have some trouble with /s/ and /z/, but I don't know, "war and peace", I think that's easily understood.
Source: voice typing this with Swedish vocal chords, and only had to correct "different lives" to "differently", and add /[^\w\s]/.
Android voice input works with kids using both English and native words, here in India. The country runs schools in 25+ primary languages, each with dialects, so a TV/phone with voice input is more marvelous than the nitpicks discussed here.
I suppose someone who want ereader only experience will just go with the vanilla firmware or flash CrossPoint, which this project forked from.
I personally hope this could drive more sales for those who don't necessarily want an ereader (or already have one) but are interested in tinkering with it (I doubt anyone looking for gaming or messaging will pick it, seeing it's still more expensive than a proper Android phone), and thus lower the price of future models for everyone.
There's probably some niche where ridiculously long battery life (plugging a small solar panel will effectively make it self-sufficient) and sunlight readable screen with very basic apps would be welcome.
I wonder why that's not supported by Biscuit despite dozens of other functions being present. E.g. download and display an image once an hour. Can't wake from sleep regularly?
Maybe they've just not thought about that (yet). It looks to be mostly coded by Claude so, presumably, it been a very quick project to take from zero to where it is now, and they're in the mode of throwing old socks at the wall.
It's called Freja.
It's also possible to get a special hardware device to do the bankID dance, which is great to have if your phone breaks, as having that device will make it possible to provision a new bankID without visiting a bank office.
The country in question is the United States of America. You know, the one that Iranian Islamic Republic officials lead chants of "Death to America" about.
The US is not perfect, but this disparagement of the US for the benefit of the Islamic Republic is disgusting. As is the online bullying of people who stand up for the US.
Just because there one or maybe several bad/worse countries in the world, that doesn't mean anything goes ethically.
That's a dangerous line of reasoning.
Having global identities that move with you between networks doesn't mean that your identities need to be singular nor openly tied to your government identity.
