Pinephone with detachable 'clamshell' keyboard...alas not just yet!

-

As a huge fan of 'Pine64' https://www.pine64.org/ I was delighted to see this announcement in their recent newsletter. Owning a device which allows not only allows the most 'private' experience possible from prying governments and corporates but it also allows me to use all the linux apps I've got so used to (within the limits of an 'arm64' phone) such a refreshing approach. Hope to see much more from these guys in the future.

'Pine64' commented on the proposed new design:-

"After some consideration we have opted to go with a clamshell design for the keyboard. The PinePhone is large and heavy enough to be unwieldy when held by a thin slab of plastic such as that of a slide-out keyboard. This clamshell design can, however, be folded practically flat so it is comfortably used without placing the device on a surface. The keyboard section also holds a large (probably 5000mAh) battery, which not only more-than-doubles the phone’s stand-by time but also acts as a weighty counterbalance. Many of you will also recognize that we decided to use the keyboard layout we proposed and discussed with the community in August. From a mechanical standpoint, the keyboard clamps onto the phone (for which you need to remove the back-cover) and interfaces with the device using the pogo pins.  

I’m sure this news will get many of you excited, but please keep in mind that presently it is impossible for me to guarantee that this particular plan for the keyboard will pan out and that the vendor will come through on their promises. But I think there is a good chance it will happen, so I decided to share it with you."

    Definitely believe that which you said. Your favorite justification appeared to be on the net the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people consider worries that they plainly don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people can take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks begagnad iPhone 14 Pro Max

    I do trust all of the ideas you’ve introduced for your post. They’re very convincing and will definitely work. Still, the posts are very short for beginners. May you please prolong them a bit from next time? Thank you for the post. Samsung Galaxy Reparation

Qgis-server...Installing the QGIS Lizmap Plugin & Lizmap Web Client

This post follows on from my previous three (most recent first in list) linked below. There is no doubt that in just a short time from now we will probably see a 'one-click' installer to by-pass the next steps but a least this method allows you to change 'in/out' the individual libraries if there is are updates using the usual ' sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade '. http://www.paulshapley.com/2016/08/qgis-server-bringing-map-into-browser.html http://www.paulshapley.com/2016/07/how-to-install-qgis-server-on-ubuntu.html http://www.paulshapley.com/2016/04/how-to-install-postgresql-95-and.html 1.  Firstly...Create a new QGIS project, add your layers from PostGIS, Shapefiles or raster (geotiff), style and symbolise those layers, set the projection and ensure you've set up your 'OWS Server' in 'Project Properties'. 2.  Let's install the 'Lizmap' Plugin first by going into the 'Plugins' menu then 'Manage...

Install PostreSQL 14 and PostGIS 3 on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

I always get frustrated when I update my version of Ubuntu to the next LTS and want to do some development work with the latest stable releases of PostgreSQL and PostGIS.  I usually trawl a few web sites to find out what has changed but each time there are slightly different ways of doing the upgrade depending on where you land and who it is doing it. So...to (hopefully) help other people out wasting half a day or so here is my solution.  Hope this works for you too... To completely remove all previous installed versions of Postgresql/PostGIS libraries and docs if there is a previous version:-  :$ sudo apt --purge remove postgresql postgresql-*  :$ sudo apt autoremove  Remove old folders:-  :$ sudo rm -rf /var/lib/postgresql/  :$ sudo rm -rf /var/log/postgresql/  :$ sudo rm -rf /etc/postgresql/   Remove the old 'postgres' user:- :$ sudo deluser postgres    Restart System:-  :$ sudo shutdown -r now then:-  Update Syste...
