In the eighth episode of PineTalk, Ezra and Peter discuss news on the PinePhone keyboard accessory, InfiniTime 1.0, Plasma Mobile progress, Megapixels 1.0 and answer three community questions. They also share their minty-fresh first impressions of Pine-y wrist-wear.
The third and final community quote of the day is by Matt Burger @matthewburger “We’re definitely hitting the same high notes; we’re just not singing the same song.” Thank you Matt for sending it in!
