    Some time ago, I tried Ubuntu for the first time. I was shocked that the preinstalled Firefox (snap package) took 10 seconds to launch, compared to 1-2 seconds on Windows.

    My RPi4 refused to start with a 2x2.5" hard drive, so I did some workarounds. I connected the USB 3.0 +5V pin to the GPIO and powered the RPi using a PD trigger with MINI 560 (5A DC-DC converter). In my case, a random 18W QC brick was enough.

    It works similarly to Android and iOS. The system partition is read-only, and each new system update is applied as a new system partition image. All user apps are kept separate from the system and are sandboxed.

    Both Pinephone and Pinephone Pro are almost fully supported, including the camera. In any case, we have only the hardware manufacturers to blame for this.

    No parts manufacturers will do the extra work to make them work for Linux

    They just don't want to. Now they can stop releasing security patches and users would buy new hardware.

    Rough, but it makes sense. Instead of electrifying a crappy Walmart bike, people should just spend that money on a decent road bike. Most people have no idea how fast a good mechanical bike can be.

    I mean that phones had combo port both for charging and headphones. Using adapters was annoying. And if you saying that 3.5mm is obsolete than why newest Macbooks have 3.5mm port?

    Use the adapter plug as mentioned.

    Type C can't spin 360°. I have a 90-degree 3.5mm jack, which doesn't create a risk of breaking the port, so I can put my phone in my pocket in any position.

    Hurts waterproofing, phone slimness and design Check out the Sony Xperia 10. It's the smallest phone on the market with a 3.5mm jack, micro SD slot, 5000 mAh battery, and IP68 rating.

    Nothing was taken away. It's literally just combined with another port now. Haha, remember 2000s, when most phones were using proprietary connector for both charging and headphones output? Everyone hated that stuff.

    Official Telegram app on Android doesn't allow to send code in SMS

    I completely broke my phone screen and attempted to log into my Telegram account from my secondary phone. I downloaded the APK from telegram.org, entered my phone number, but the app sent the code to another device with no option to receive it via SMS. Then, I tried to create a new account using a new physical SIM card, but Telegram still showed 'code sent to other device' as if the account was already registered on that SIM card. When I tried to add the phone number to my Telegram account, it displayed 'this number is not in Telegram.' It seems like Telegram blocks any attempts to send verification codes via SMS or call on Android. Want to know how I finally created a new account? I had to ask my friend to log in from his iPad. Unfortunately, that account got banned and deleted within 5 days, even though I wasn't doing anything wrong or suspicious.
