• Apple must open iPadOS to sideloading within 6 months, EU says

  You can work on it https://blink.sh/ see also https://docs.blink.sh/advanced/code. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Apple debuts iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus

  You can already do that with an iPad (sans fat OS). If you're using Blink Shell (https://blink.sh) the external display is independent of what's on the iPad too, which works really neatly. This is the exact setup I used as my main dev machine in a previous role. Would be very nice to see if this works on the new iPhones. A thin client with decent security in your pocket with keyboard/mouse/display at both home and... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Apple iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max

  I use blink[0] with a 40% keyboard to develop linux program on a vps.

• Apple Introduces M4 Chip

  I get frustrated seeing this go into the iPad and knowing that we can't get a shell, and run our own binaries there. Not even as a VM like [UserLAnd](https://userland.tech). I could effectively travel with one device less in my backpack but instead I have to carry two M chips, two displays, batteries, and so on... It's great to see this tech moving forward but it's frustrating to not see it translate into a more... - Source: Hacker News / 26 days ago

• Do you think that it's real? I don't trust it just even by the fact it costs 2€...

  It's basically a Linux virtual machine on Android, running Linux applications - see https://userland.tech/ and https://play.google.com/store/apps/dev?id=8617260147938950881. Source: 11 months ago

• Blog is hosted on my Android phone
