In fact I have paid the bill but they won't process the payment without an ABN, so we're in the process of getting them to accept the Linux Australia ABN for our domain.

The 8G/128G ones (A6000) are about 70AUD each and 10G/256G ones (A6010) are about 120AUD. The device in question is VoLTE-capable and there are reports of VoLTE working under PostmarketOS for US provider so it should be possible for us to get VoLTE working here with AU provides. It is used but with a decent amount of ram and storage plus a fast SoC which is more than capable of running mobile Linux, at the moment supported by Mobian and PostmarketOS.

The PinePhonePro and Librem5 are both quite expensive and have short battery life. The PocaPhone F1 isn't available on eBay and while one imported from another country MIGHT work, the probability is lower than with a phone that was actually sold in quantity in Australia. I discussed this with Yifei and he discovered that he can get them at even cheaper prices than the $300 I was looking at on eBay. https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/1aebdxz/ unlock_volte_in_australia_oneplus_5_6_7_8_9/ According to Reddit these phone will work with VoLTE so it looks like the process would be to get VoLTE going on the stock firmware and then upgrade to Mobian or PostmarketOS. https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/fajita/ They also work with LineageOS which is a good fallback if they turn out not to work well on Mobian or PostMarketOS. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OnePlus_6T The ones with 10G of RAM (the McLaren edition of the 6T) aren't specifically listed on the LineageOS or Mobian pages. One would hope that they are just a minor variant on the theme and work in the same way, but there is more risk in buying them. I am wondering whether it's worth the extra money and risk for an extra 2G of RAM. The what's not working section of the Mobian page says that USB OTG isn't working which precludes the typical "convergence" usage that is the best way of using up more than 8G of RAM. This may be something that doesn't get fixed and is making me tend towards the cheaper phones with 8G of RAM. Until the start of this year I was using a laptop with 8G of RAM so a phone with that amount should be fine. It's also noted that Mobian has "temporary" problems with microphone and speaker since August last year which can be worked around with Bluetooth. This shouldn't be so hard to fix as it was apparently working in the past. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ From yifei at zhan.science Tue Jul 23 13:33:02 2024 From: yifei at zhan.science (Yifei Zhan) Date: Tue, 23 Jul 2024 13:33:02 +1000 Subject: [Linux-aus] SpacemiT RISC-V single board computer and laptop for developers Message-ID: <2171000.tdWV9SEqCh@frame> If anyone is interested I can get a few RISC-V laptops or single board computers from SpacemiT, ETA is about 3 months and you can pick up from Melbourne (shipping is also possible) For laptop/MUSEBook: SpacemiT M1 Octa-Core X60 64-bit RISC-V core 8G RAM / 64G eMMC / 560AUD 16G RAM / 256G SSD / 670AUD 16G RAM / 512G SSD / 890AUD Each with silver or blue color. https://www.cnx-software.com/2024/04/30/muse-book-laptop-spacemit-k1-octa-core-risc-v-ai-processor-16gb-ram/ https://community.milkv.io/t/musebook-powered-by-spacemit-m1/ For SBC/MUSE Pi: SpacemiT M1 Octa-Core X60 64-bit RISC-V core 8G RAM / 32G eMMC / 230AUD 16G RAM / 64G eMMC / 300AUD https://liliputing.com/spacemit-muse-pi-is-a-single-board-pc-with-spamit-m1-8-core-risc-v-processor/ There is another SBC made by Banana Pi with the a slower SoC (K1) and less RAM (4G/120AUD or 2G/100AUD) for cheaper and they ship directly to Australia. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006921744822.html From jwoithe at just42.net Sat Jul 27 18:00:01 2024 From: jwoithe at just42.net (Jonathan Woithe) Date: Sat, 27 Jul 2024 17:30:01 +0930 Subject: [Linux-aus] LA grant application submitted Message-ID: Hi everyone A LA Grant application has been submitted by Felicity Brand.
