Apr 21 09:53:19 <Herrie> Slothman21: TTS won't work on LuneOS. For most other things the Veer should be fine.
Apr 21 09:53:35 <Herrie> You can dual boot the Touchpad with webOS and LuneOS, so you have 2 OS-es on it.
Apr 21 09:53:46 <Herrie> I still have my Veer for email, calls, calendar etc
Apr 21 09:55:07 <Slothman21> Oh, didn't know you could dual boot . My experiences with android have made me assume things, lol
Apr 21 09:56:07 <Slothman21> And thanks for clarifying the tts doesn't work. Bit of a shame, but understandable
Apr 21 09:57:21 <Slothman21> How functional is the web browser on the veer in modern times? I think the heaviest site I'd be going to would be eBay
Apr 21 10:03:47 <Herrie> The browser is not very good, but with osme user agent patch from Preware it might behave better
Apr 21 10:04:18 <Herrie> Big problem is mainly the TLS/HTTPS issue but that can be bypassed with the squid proxy stuff
Apr 21 10:07:45 <Slothman21> Oh, right. Https is a pretty recent thing
Apr 21 10:08:36 <Slothman21> Never crossed my mind that it would bar older software
Apr 21 10:11:08 <Slothman21> Is there an unofficial web browser that modernizes the scripts/protocols? I'm more security minded, and that usually requires a third party browser anyways to have power over cookies and Java etc
Apr 21 10:12:32 <Slothman21> Sorry, forgot i got the preware link already from pcworld. I should be investigating myself.
Apr 21 10:25:45 <Herrie> Well regular https works, just newer TLS version not
Apr 21 10:26:53 <Herrie> The User Agent string will fix quite some things too (i.e. let it identify like an iPhone) so most websites will know what to do with it
Apr 21 10:27:19 <Herrie> Qupzilla/Qt Browser would work, but on Veer with it's small screen it gives challenges
Apr 21 10:27:30 <Herrie> The squid proxy works quite well and uses little resources
