Purism just announced a new librem 5

00:00 - 00:05 So Purism just announced a new librem 5

00:05 - 00:07 before the first one is finished

00:07 - 00:10 And the only difference is that it’s made in the USA

00:11 - 00:16 but some parts are still made in china

00:17 - 00:21 but it costs $1999

00:21 - 00:24 $1999

00:29 - 00:31 $1999

00:31 - 00:34 It's more expensive any iPhone

00:38 - 00:40 $1999

00:41 - 00:47 The fucking device cant even make a phone call

00:47 - 00:50 And it can’t send or receive sms

00:50 - 00:56 the device overheats and have less then 1 hour battery

00:58 - 00:59 1 hour and it's dead

00:59 - 01:01 just 1 hour

01:04 - 01:06 $1999 for 1 hour

01:06 - 01:08 $1999 with no voice call

01:13 - 01:14 $1999

01:14 - 01:16 You can buy 15 pinephone's with that

01:16 - 01:20 and the pinephone can make calls

01:21 - 01:27 and have daily driver ready OS

01:35 - 01:36 like Ubuntu touch

01:36 - 01:39 and kde plasma is almost there

01:41 - 01:44 but it's still sad for all people that bought it

01:44 - 01:47 they used the hard earned money on it

01:47 - 01:49 but they still deny it's not a scam

01:50 - 01:53 they believe all todd's lies

01:54 - 01:56 regardless

01:56 - 01:58 of what other say

01:58 - 02:02 it's looking like a ponzi scheme

02:05 - 02:07 $1999

02:10 - 02:11 ponzi scheme....

02:11 - 02:13 ponzi scheme

02:15 - 02:17 and on top of all this

02:17 - 02:20 they want to build their own desktop environment

02:21 - 02:28 based on gtk that runs poorly on embedded devices

02:29 - 02:30 gtk/gnome?

02:30 - 02:32 yes gtk/gnome

02:36 - 02:39 gtk, that sucks on embedded devices

02:40 - 02:42 while qt utilizes the gpu a lot more

02:50 - 02:55 while there are already working other options

02:56 - 02:58 what other options?

02:58 - 03:04 Unity8 (Ubuntu touch) and kde plasma (kde neon)

03:04 - 03:09 but no, they want to build there own

03:09 - 03:11 using gtk

03:16 - 03:20 and not qt

03:23 - 03:26 qt performs much better on embedded devices
