I have #deGoogled my phone by (ironically) picking up a second-hand #pixel7 and immediately installing #grapheneOS.

Brings me right back to the days of building #gingerbread for my #htc #raider.

I love that there's no #google on this slab - but I have the option of adding google services in case I ever absolutely *need* to use a piece of software available only on play.

Being an #android oldschooler... I was some impressed with the web installer. My grandparents could have installed Graphene on their phones themselves. Fantastic.

Google is buying part of HTC's XR (extended reality) team for $250 million, along with a non-exclusive license for HTC XR IP. It's part of Google's effort to build out its Android XR platform, and feels a bit like when Google bought HTC's phone business to build out its Pixel phone brand. https://buff.ly/4jve9SC #Google #AndroidXR #ExtendedReality #VR #HTC

« Dans un Proche-Orient où les tenues sont scrutées parce qu’elles disent beaucoup de celui qui les porte, la mue vestimentaire d’Abou Mohammed al-Joulani, chef du groupe islamiste radical Hayat Tahrir al-Cham (HTC, pour « Organisation de libération du Levant »), fait beaucoup parler. »

Just going to leave this here...

I’ve always been an Apple / iOS person, starting all the way back with my first gen iPod touch in 2007…

But this promo video for the HTC Hero has always warmed my heart.

I miss the optimistic and earnest feel of the late 2000’s / early 2010’s, the feeling of big changes ahead but to take us to a better place.

My favorite Pocket PC Phone of all time. (Just found it while cleaning) It felt so good in your hand & had great weight.

Codenamed the "Harrier" by MSFT/HTC, it had:
Windows Mobile 5
320x240 Touch screen
4 way directional pad + 9 buttons
3.2mp RF camera + mirror
Slide out tactile kybd
Hidden slide out stylus
2.5mm audio jack
Removeable Li-Ion battery
SD card memory expansion
(Unfortunately it was AT&T/GSM only & I've always had Verizon/CDMA)

#HTC pfeift zum Angriff! Wie der Konzern gerade verlautbart, bekommen Entwickelnde ab dem 1. April 90% der Einnahmen aus den Verkäufen des #XR-Marktplatzes #Viveport. Das wären dann die besten Konditionen im gesamten XR-Ökosystem. Jetzt müssen die Leute nur noch die passenden Headsets von HTC dazu besitzen.
Wir sprechen darüber kommenden Donnerstag in Spatial Realities!

One of the perks of my job: testing flavors for our pen cart line. We use terpene pour off and decarbed diamonds from our live resin extraction. No really, I get paid to smoke hash sometimes! #htc #liveresinlegends #ca #cannabis

I need a new phone. What to get? Samsung? Google Pixel? Xiaomi ? Or Redmi? Or go with an iPhone? The #redmi is the cheapest but I don't trust #Redmi and it's parent company #xiaomi due to security issues even though I do have a #mi8. #iphone , #samsunggalaxy, and #googlepixel are all expensive. What else is left? #motorola #htc #lg do they stand up or have the same quality?
