    2. <cquence> architecture to load custom weather backends for the weather (rainemak, 07:09:40)
    3. <cquence> application? I really like MeeCast but I do miss the original (rainemak, 07:09:40)
    4. <cquence> Jolla weather app. (rainemak, 07:09:40)
    5. <Jolla> Same as above. Plug-in architecture might be a good idea how ever #info <Jolla> APIs tend to be quite service specific. How would like to see (rainemak, 07:10:11)
    6. <Jolla> architecture evolving? (rainemak, 07:10:11)

    2. <Systematics> long and complex device encryption password for my (rainemak, 07:15:26)

    4. <Systematics> the long and complex password (special characters) every time (rainemak, 07:15:26)
    5. <Systematics> if I want to unlock my phone. The C2 does not have a (rainemak, 07:15:26)

    7. <Systematics> the password? (rainemak, 07:15:29)
    8. <Jolla> Thanks for raising this again. We have not implemented anything on (rainemak, 07:15:39)
    9. <Jolla> this regards but this is not forgotten either. This keeps popping (rainemak, 07:15:39)

    1. <rinigus> We have frequently wrong permissions for files that were (rainemak, 07:27:35)

    2. <cquence> telephony and data stack will become the new standard for all (rainemak, 07:40:42)
    3. <cquence> devices? If not, which devices will be getting it? Since C2 (rainemak, 07:40:42)
    4. <cquence> doesn’t support 5G, what are the plans for enabling 5G in this (rainemak, 07:40:42)
    5. <cquence> new stack? Will you be using a different device for development? (rainemak, 07:40:42)
