of these, the Xiaomi A1 and the Pixel XL I don't own
<samueldr>
(nexus 7 2013 has not been tested working for a while)
<samueldr>
though I do/did focus heavily on android-based hardware
<samueldr>
I figure it's better people use hardware they already have laying around
<samueldr>
and also, people may just dig in their drawer for their previous phone
<blackriversoftwa>
Neat ok. I have a pixel 2 but it's my main phone... Don't think I'll be flashing it juuuust yet.
<blackriversoftwa>
I have several Samsungs lying around
<samueldr>
it's not ready yet :)
<samueldr>
you must be based in north america, or else it's getting late for you, right?
<samueldr>
(you're not forced to answer)
<blackriversoftwa>
If I can ever find time to play with it

Yeah I'm in US Eastern Time
<samueldr>
right
<samueldr>
so, here, we have to deal with bad telcos, both in Canada and in the United States
<blackriversoftwa>
Don't I know it
<samueldr>
you may not be able to bootloader unlock devices you could elsewhere
<blackriversoftwa>
I think my Samsungs are unlocked but I'll check if/when I get to playing with them
<samueldr>
samsung devices I haven't investigated yet, their boot chain, even with qualcomm SoC, differs
<samueldr>
though it should all be possible
<blackriversoftwa>
One was on Bell Canada, other was on ATT
<samueldr>
though, a good rule of thumb is if lineageos runs, it should be possible to run Mobile NixOS
<clever>
blackriversoftwa: ive not noticed any major problems with bell/aliant
<samueldr>
corollary to this is if there is an official TWRP build, it's also generally a good indication
<blackriversoftwa>
My techie brother (runs Linux on everything but not a programmer) was asking about OSS phones because he hates the "assistant" snooper-mics
<blackriversoftwa>
clever: ok good to know
<samueldr>
clever: the problem is the phone they sell
<clever>
samueldr: ive not tried to root mine seriously yet, and i dont want to loose the data on it
<samueldr>
any recent samsung phone of the galaxy range will not bootloader unlock
<samueldr>
I think since the S7
<samueldr>
it's all across the two northernmost north american countries
<samueldr>
you just can't buy an exynos or unlockable qualcomm samsung device here
<samueldr>
(in the galaxy range)
<clever>
i think mine is an S5 neo
<samueldr>
that may still be in the unlockable times
<samueldr>
64 bit, good
<samueldr>
exynos, so most likely unlockable
<samueldr>
though, gsmarena does list a different model number for Canada
<samueldr>
G903W, which could be a cause for alarm

flokli: I should finally not have any tabs in my commit. I love neovim but trying to get it to pick up the `expandtab` setting has been annoying.
<blackriversoftwa>
flokli: also I split the commits, put the actual fix first so it doesn't depend on the cleanup
<flokli>
blackriversoftwa: okay cool, thanks! Will take a look later today :-)
