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.

Yt-dlp still works for me on Android, but only for h264 videos. When I try to download VP9, I get an error.

I would not pay anyway. This is a principled position after I was shown a fraudulent advertisement 10 times in one evening (which used children with cancer to manipulate emotions)

I use Librewolf with Ublock and sponsorblock. Sometimes youtube video stops loading or keeps seeking 5-10 seconds forward. However, reloading the page helps. I don't have such problems when watching Youtube with mpv.

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.

It seems that Youtube's IT department has decided to utilize the budget and show investors that they are not getting paid for nothing. After all, Youtube is only testing a new type of advertising, and there are already a dozen solutions to the problem in the comments.

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.

I have an HP 530 from 2007, and its hinges are fine. I upgraded it to 2 GB of RAM (I have core2duo model) and installed Linux Mint. I use it at work to open the corporate web portal and watch youtube, which is only possible with a modern web browser.

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.

A lot of weight on the wheel isn't a good idea. Please don't make up anything. A conventional motor wheel and an external battery is the most successful solution for converting a bicycle.

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?

PostmarketOS devs have made huge improvements over the past year. Now it can be used for daily driving. Some functions do not work simply due to the lack of drivers.

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.

I always say into the microphone of my smartphone, "I know you're listening to me." If they are really listening to me, they will get scared. And if not, no one will know about it.

Maybe debit card would also work, but why they need this info at all? I wanted to create new issue for app, but Gitlab required card details. I had to write to the developer in Matrix.
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.
