<sphalerite>
because I'm considering getting a 100€ phone for experiments
<sphalerite>
although experiments require time :/
<tilpner>
The pinephone? c.c
<tilpner>
Not quite 100€, but in the right price range
<samueldr>
pinephone is A64, much much much better for mainline linux
<samueldr>
A64 meaning Allwinner A64
<samueldr>
sphalerite: make sure first that (1) the phone is unlockable (2) all relevant sources are released by the OEM
<samueldr>
and maybe also dig a bit see if other users have done things with the device
<samueldr>
and for type-c devices, there is apparently another cable that can be made for serial, I think flokli knows more about that
<samueldr>
(for MTK devices)

<DigitalKiwi>
what's the best way to pay for stuff on aliexpress?
<samueldr>
likely whichever way you're fine with using that they provide
<samueldr>
though, at first I was hesitant, but I added my card to their alipay system, it works just right
<DigitalKiwi>
does delivery time vary wildly or do you know about how long stuff takes?
<samueldr>
aliexpress is akin to ebay, it's sellers-based
<samueldr>
so it could differ
<DigitalKiwi>
ah
<samueldr>
and it will differ depending on the shipper they use, then from where it's from, and then where it goes
<samueldr>
I only have data points about going into Québec, so not that useful for you I assume
<samueldr>
(kinda assuming you're not in the province, and not even in the country)
<samueldr>
though, I have found that the estimates on item pages are generally good at the worst; and they have good protection for things not arriving
<DigitalKiwi>
i'm about 200 miles closer
<DigitalKiwi>
err, km
<DigitalKiwi>
that's how it works right? :)
<samueldr>
"miles" are pretty much confirming my assumptions :)
<DigitalKiwi>
pfft most of the internet is in miles!
