I remember that thing now. It came with the HP Elite X3 Windows Phone...

I'm not sure it came included by default, they had regular dock which you could use to connect display and peripherals. But it definitely was an option!
That rare occasion when MS got something right, I mean Windows 10 Mobile, and the product fails miserably 🤣

Yes, they did. Also they copied the "continuity" feature from Ubuntu Touch, as they do with most things they get right ;-)

Oh, yes, you're right, they did! And it was also discontinued 🤭
No, it is still supported by community, my phone can run it, but using Ubuntu 16 as base system is hardly enough for anyone. AFAIK, they are in the process of moving to Ubuntu 18.10 and there are discussions about 20.10. Maybe things will improve and this mobile OS will see some sort of revival🤷

They are currently in the transition to 20.04 as a base system.
I have the pro1x from fxtec waiting for it to release :-)

@m0xee @thewk @linmob I'm unable to find them online. Are they still for sale? Looks pretty modern to me.

@comcloudway
I'm not sure they are still sold by HP as Elite X3, the phone those were designed for, is no longer supported. I think eBay is your best bet.

Oops! I always try to provide the images I upload with text descriptions, however I always forget they are there when I look at what others post 🤪

@m0xee @thewk @linmob I have the same problem and try to remember people that there is an option for this and that it is really important to use it for visually impaired people.

Here is a poll and discussion I started about this topic (even blind people reacted to it): social.linux.pizza/@utopify_or

@utopify_org You are doing god's work!
I said this ironically, but I really approve of what you do. It's important, this place is for everyone to enjoy after all. I think I've only made a couple exceptions — but in those cases I think no lengthy description could make it clearer to visually impared person or one speaking different language.
Your thread is insightful, thanks for sharing!
