  • A Chinese low cost manufacturer from Shenzhen. Their parent company is actually one of the Top 5 manufacturers - but none in the North/West has heard of them.

    They were specifically founded to provide smartphones for low and medium income markets like Africa, India, etc. Meanwhile they also manufacture phones there.

    Their parent company holds almost 50% of the African market share.

    They are actually producing decent phones by now - had the chance to take a look of one of their most recent phones a few weeks back. 5G, dual SIM, dedicated microSD slot, headphones jack (yes Lemmy!) and a big battery - but the camera and display were mediocre. Overall still a decent phone for a good price, even though they don’t sell them everywhere and I would be weary of the updates issue.


  • Learn ondsel (which is basically a freecad fork) first and then transfer to FreeCAD later. It’s easier to learn at first but for true woodworking FreeCAD is better - but only after you know the basics.

    Sadly neither of them is remotely efficient at all when it comes to woodworking. But if you don’t care for the time it takes too much it is something to work with.
