TIme needed: 15 minutes
Substitute: None, but I hope my questions are to the point
Please ignore any questions you plan to address in an in-depth article on the JM2 soon.
- What is the idle power consumption? (More important than peak consumption for a device that’s on 24*7.)
- Does it run a mainline kernel?
- If not, for how long is the SoC supported by its manufacturer?
- Which periferals use mainline drivers?
- For those that do not, for how long are drivers supported by the manufacturer?
- What parts of the JM2 require Android App Support?
- Can they be removed?
- How open is it?
- E.g, can we install linux packages (given they exist for the arch), like the borg backup server?
- Can it be used as a NAS/cloud storage in any capacity?
- E.g. for syncing contacts and calendar data?
- When using external AI services, what data is uploaded to those services?
- What exactly does DID mean in the context of the JM2?
- How are certificates handled (created, renewed, revoked, backed-up…)?
- What VPN is used, is/will Wireguard be supported?
- Will ssh use the DID in some way?
- Is the device single-user or can it serve e.g. a family, each member having their own data?
- Approximately how many simultaneous users will it cope with, processing-wise? (Storage may be less of an issue, as it can be expanded.)
- Can users share data, like the deforestation corpus used in the demo?
- Any plans to offload some of the compute to a desktop/laptop with an nvidia gpu? (on the same network as the mind2)
- How will Jolla deal with ISPs that don’t offer public ip? By using a 3rd party like ZeroTierOne (puts privacy at risk), or by providing such a service?
Thank you for an interesting Jolla Love Day 2! The Jolla Mind2 sounds like an interesting device and you seem to have addressed many bad aspects of the current AI hype.
The shop page for the JM2 is a little light on details…
