I'm using selfhosted wireguard server. Speed about 250 mbps and this VPS costs me about 3$ per month. Super easy to deploy wireguard server using this script

I haven't found a study that gives exact numbers. Maybe the difference in battery consumption will be 0.5%)

I don't have Google services and no apps with Google Firebase notifications. I don't see any battery draining issues.

Then why flight attendant says "switch your devices to flight mode"? It was a week ago in domestic european flight.

Perhaps it depends on the country. In any case, I recommend buying the laptop that suits you best in terms of price and not paying attention to the operating system. I just set a filter in the online store for "Ryzen 5" and I don't see any difference in price between laptops with Windows and laptops without the operating system. It's better to find out how well the laptop supports Linux.

In Europe, laptops without an operating system (often referred to as DOS installed) are available. Prices start from 300 EUR.

https://postmarketos.org/faq/#why-postmarketos-over-ungoogled-android-or-halium Hardware vendors just use proprietary drivers so it's almost impossible to port linux to their devices. It is so crazy that you can't even update linux kernel in Android without vendor's help.

Google and SOC vendors are trying their best to stop developing of Linux phones. That's why available Linux phones use 10 year old chipsets.

You can disable swipe gestures in Jerboa

The CPU itself doesn't produce sound, but inductors (coils) can. Therefore, when you move the mouse, the CPU power increases, potentially causing inductors to go into resonance.

Just found torrent client "BiglyGT" on f-droid. It can download to random folder on sdcard through SAF (Storage access framework).

It's so bad that it even can't remember file sorting options.

Why does Will Smith only play black people?

Have you looked into Android/com.torrentapp.name/files?

This voice recognition app supports ROCm.

I use AtlasOS to debloat and optimize (disabling animations, annoying requests and so on) Windows 10/11

You can play not only 2023-2024 games. I play GTA V with ultra setting and have 4k@60 FPS. My GPU is 150$ 1080ti.

In Europe, there are unofficial Samsung phones available 15-20% cheaper than from authorized stores. Just consider how often you need warranty repairs. I've changed 5-7 phones during my life and haven't had any problems with them except cracked screens and worn batteries.
