I just got my Y1 today and it has firmware 3.0.7. I was trying out different themes, which work fine, but i kept noticing that when scrolling through the home menu there was always one icon that didn't fit whatever theme I had loaded.

Upon closer inspection it seems the new firmware now includes an 'ebook' home menu item that wasn't there before, and so now every single theme that anyone has made is missing an icon for that option and instead features an ugly factory default icon that's out of character with all the other theme custom icons.

I also noticed that it's not an option on the https://y1-themes.vercel.app theme maker, so I'm guessing it's new.

There also doesn't seem to be a way of hiding or removing home menu items? So it seems that either all themes need to be reworked or, preferably, a function is added to be able to hide home menu items which would obviously be the more elegant solution rather than everyone having to edit every theme they've ever made.

(i personally just want to listen to music so I'd hide ebooks / videos / photos / videos etc)

I have monterey (12.7.4) on my mac and none of the desktop updaters will work with it. I can update to ventura but I don't really want to do that if the innioasis updater still won't work with it, and I can't see any system requirement documentation for the updater anywhere.

so what's the minimum MacOS requirement to get it working?

I've been hovering over buying a Y1 for a while but then saw there's a Y2 coming and read this big update thread.

Point number number 1 is:

>1）Hardware upgrades: New chipset, increased internal storage, and improved Bluetooth

imo internal storage should be completely removed and leave SD card storage as the only option. Those of you who also dabble in r/SBCGaming will be very familiar with manufacturers shipping their consoles with bottom-of-the-barrel SD cards and the default advice to everyone is to immediately throw them away and replace with a decent brand instead, because the supplied SD cards will 100% fail in a short space of time - maybe a week, maybe 2 months, but they will fail sooner than you want.

Having read hundreds of Y1 reviews you can see the exact same thing happening, so imo the Y2 should ditch "internal storage" entirely and reflect whatever that saving is in a marginally lower retail cost.

SD-only storage doesn't read as a minus for devices like the Hiby R1 or dozens of other similar devices, so I don't see why it should be an issue for the Y2. It's an advantage, if anything. Being forced to open up the Y1 to replace a card that will likely fail sooner than I want is probably the main reason I haven't pulled the trigger on it yet.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

I recently stumbled across this sub and some of the posts resonated with me.

Back in 1995 I was getting ready for work at the same time I always did (probably around 7 or 7:30am) in time to arrive at work just before 9am.

On the way to work something felt slightly different.. you know when you're so used to traffic flows or maybe the sun in the sky at particular times of day? I probably didn't pay too much attention to it at the time, but something felt not quite the same as usual.

When I got to work my colleagues said something like "nice of you to join us", and there were way more people in the office than when I usually arrive.

I was clearly confused and they pointed out it was already past 10:30am

This incident has bugged me over the years. It's never happened before or since, I have no history of mental illness whatsoever, I've never fainted or passed out at any time for any reason and I wasn't sick with anything at the time of the incident.

I don't think it's paranormal (I'm generally a sceptic) and I'm sure there must be an explanation of how I lost a couple of hours of my life, but here I am decades later still with no explanation
