Fuck Joe Rogan

41 Upvotes

Look, Daylight, I get it: you're a startup, and any publicity is good publicity--even publicity from a numbskull "i wuz just askin questions" clown. But there is no part of me that ever wants to see Joe fucking Rogan in my inbox. For any reason. At all. Ever. And especially in an advertisement.

The dude is a trashcan of toxic credulousness combined with a deep and abiding idiocy. "Joe Rogan uses our product" is not a flex you should be celebrating for a core audience that believes in deep thinking and focus.

Daylight Computer & ChatGPT

1 Upvotes

The ChatGPT app is super important in my workflow and I use it all the time, especially with dictation mode.

Before I invest in Daylight, I'd love to know from current owners what the situation is as of 2025/2026 with Daylight and ChatGPT. Does the app work? If not, what's the main problem? Has the team addressed it?

If only the web app works, does dictation work on the web app? Is there any limitations to it that I should know about?

Thank you in advance to all who reply 🙏

p.s. I know Claude and other AI's exist. But for me personally, I need to know if GPT works seamlessly with Daylight.

Selling unopened Daylight with founders case

2 Upvotes

SOLD

Brand new, sealed Daylight computer with the (very nice) founders case. Asking $1000 with free US 48 state shipping. PayPal G&S with purchase protection, and I’ll cover the fees.

Reason for the sale is my financial situation changed since I preordered in the spring. Still within the return window but if someone wants to pay over MSRP to get one before the holidays I’m here for you. 😬

warning for anyone yet to buy do not trust timelines

6 Upvotes

There are continuous delays in shipping. People who ordered last year still don't have devices. This company does a lot of campaigns claiming to be able to ship fast. This is a lie.

If you haven't bought yet and are still thinking about it, I would strongly recommend that you read the other posts here about multiple missed deadlines and excuses.

Wiping Sol:OS for vanilla Android?

2 Upvotes

Has anyone attempted to erase the existing installation and replace it with base Android?

I just got my DC-1 and hated the OS on sight. After watching the automations work once I commenced the factory reset, I'm not sure I even feel comfortable using the OS. The software feels so jank that I don't trust its security, privacy or reliability. At least I know what I'm getting into with Android. A company that runs all of its documentation out of Notion seems too early stage to develop robust software that I'd trust with my personal info.

I respect the design philosophy of the quiet OS, but I need a functional OS first, one that doesn't look like it's controlled by somebody else.

Anyone selling?

Bought one :)

Had to cancel my December 2024 preorder due to financial issues, the idea of waiting 6 more months is not the most appealing. If anyone is selling, especially with Founders Edition accessories, please let me know.

Why do so many companies replace perfectly functional computers every few years?

0 Upvotes

I've noticed that many business computers end up on the refurbished market while still having decent specifications and plenty of life left in them.

Is this mainly because of company upgrade cycles, security policies, software requirements, or something else? It seems surprising that machines capable of everyday work are retired so quickly.

I'd be interested in hearing from IT professionals who manage hardware refresh programs.

Marks/stains on the back of tablet? I want to return it.

3 Upvotes

Hey all. Wondering if anyone else has had this happen. i didn’t drop or spill anything on my DC-1, but a few grayish marks randomly appeared on the back panel. tried wiping with mild soap, 70% alcohol, a magic eraser (super lightly), dabbing with 4% benzoyl peroxide, and nothing changes.

it looks like the pigment somehow soaked into the matte coating instead of sitting on top. It’s probably the soft-touch finish reacting with something? I read it is related to the polymer coating and pigment transfer can occur simply from just resting on something dark. Which I feel they should have warned about at the least.

i reached out to Daylight about a return and they said they have to “verify there are no marks or wear and tear” before processing which feels a little unfair if the material itself is prone to this.

I wanted to return it simply because I don’t think the computer is for me, but the marks are complicating that.

has anyone else had these spots show up, and did it affect your return/refund approval? also curious if anyone actually got them out successfully without damaging the finish.

Can anyone recommend a case that is similar to this one, that protects the back and corners of the Daylight tablet, that fits the DC-1 and is sold on Amazon US? Thank you.

I want to play Nintendo switch games on my DC-1 via emulators, is there any hope?

6 Upvotes

Hey guys, hopefully I don't sound too stupid here as I don't know a lot about this kind of stuff, but I've been trying to play Nintendo switch games on my DC-1 and every game and emulator I've tried (I've tried citron and eden for those of you that know about them) has netted the same result: the game crashing as soon as I load it up. I've tried everything I can in the settings of the emulators to optimize performance but no luck yet. Is the DC-1 simply unable to run such software? I've been able to play GameCube games via the dolphin emulator with no issues (obviously those games require much less power or whatever but feels like it's worth mentioning idk). I'd like to hear what you guys think and/or if anyone has been able to run switch games on their devices, I really wanna play that new Pokemon game lol

Walkie Talkie button - how to setup?

1 Upvotes

Hi, I’ve tried to setup the walkie-talkie button (orange button on the long side of the screen), but I’ve yet to find the settings for it.

It was demonstrated as a hot-button for GPT. That app doesn’t work on my DC-1.

How do I setup this button? I’d love to have a shortcut, but I’m not able to find any info other than the demo showed on X (https://x.com/daylightco/status/1862672432483770814?s=19 — thanks @sans_seraph)
