You could fit 4 of those in that form factor, two slots on each side. I think the HP quad 8" unit I used ages ago was quite a bit smaller than than the J2Giga.
Discord link from the shop leads to a “strange place”, mail to shop@jolla.com keeps bouncing back. But I just found out about the customer care portal on the jolla site and submitted a request of an status update there.
The thing I really wonder is why does Jolla not use an AI agent to take some customer care for the customers? I mean if I got a status update each 6 weeks or so by some AI that says, “hi there, Mindy here. Sorry for delay, we’ve not forgotten you, thank you for your patience. And look: here’s the latest progess and stuff like that”.
I thought a mind2 would be perfectly able to just do something like that. Doing some standard conversation and keeping things moving. But instead just a blunt cold void is - say - irritating. I am running a small (part time) business myself and I learned something: customer care is, beside a good product, the key for satisfied custumers that spread the word and keep coming back! I want Jolla to succeed, hence I am worried about the current handling. And AI can pretty much help to do that customer care…
Sorry; I didn’t manage to go myself. Since some sailors checked the forum every now and then, I can only hope they saw your post and went, but no idea if that happened
I also suggested the mind2-mediated auto-reply thing during the meet-up. From their answers, I gather that it may be too risky unless someone’s supervising it, which may or may not end up taking more time than manually replying.
Since some people have already cherry-picked on their statements and publicly accused them of lying in the past, I can understand how they’d be wary of letting an AI talk for them; especially when most models have a tendency to be overly positive. Even if they cover their backs legally with a disclaimer at the end of the email, if someone misunderstands and takes offense, they can create a lot of FUD regardless.
On the other hand, I’ve seen a few people on this forum who seem to dislike AI and everything related to it, so Jolla may also be afraid of being deemed lazy, uncaring, or <insert negative adjective>, if they use it. I assume Mind² buyers would not generally fall into this category, but I’m not sure if it would be easy to only send AI replies to Jolla Shop requests from Mind² customers.
(^ these are just my guesses. Idk if that’s their actual reasoning)
In any case, they also told me that they’re really trying to reply to everything in order and, even though it’s taking time due to the current surge in attention, they’ll get back to everyone eventually, so your request to customer care should get a reply sooner or later. Apparently, some people are also sending them messages every day, which only increases the noise and slows things down further.
I haven’t checked Discord in months, but the Mind2 server was still there last time. I don’t remember where I found the link, though.
I sent them an email ~1 month ago and it worked for me. For next time, if you have an e-mail address with another provider, it may be worth a try
The intention was good because lacking support for VoLTE and VoWiFi for ages killed one of the most promising moment of Sailfish OS before: AquaFish could have been a big hit in India, especially in Reliance Jio network but that was full IMS network with VoLTE.
It would be good not to miss the next potential entry point…
