minus-squareerebion@news.erebion.eulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·5 days agoYeah, but it’s an excellent soldering iron and if it works there’s no need to update. There’s no security risk. It does not connect to te internet. The Pinephone was great for getting some mobile Linux projects back on track, but it’s not something that can actually be a decent phone. The Pinecil seems to be their best quality product, weirdly.

minus-squareerebion@news.erebion.eulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·5 days agoOh, Pinecil v2 has Bluetooth. Weird. Anyway, for those that don’t have the new model, it does not matter. And I’m pretty sure for the v2 it is not necessary to have it on. The Pinecil works fine without it already.
