I dismantled several cheap inkjet printers for parts. There are countless useful parts inside for my future DIY projects. 24-volt power supplies, several motors, pulleys, belts, hundreds of small bolts.

I just entered fake name and paid with crypto for my VPS.

My cheap AM3 motherboard doesn't cares about USB short circuts. So it's HP's deliberate miscalculation.

I used such a cable from ugreen. This cable lasted 1 month, while standard cables from this company lasted for years.

Lineage OS based on Android 11. Pressing the icon toggles Bluetooth. Pressing the text opens popup. It works the same way also for wi-fi, mobile data and DND.

I use alpine linux with musl and openrc. It's an old laptop, so I use it only for torrenting and watching movies. Basic stuff work just fine. The only thing that doesn't is Nvidia proprietary driver.

Alpine Linux with Gnome somehow works faster then Mint with Cinnamon on my old laptop (i3 3rd-gen).

I'm using Wayland on my AMD laptop (with integrated Vega graphics). I had zero problems with this setup.

Not the sharpest blades.

Small areas of russian land near the border is not controlled by russian army since March 12.

I have about ten of these cables, and they are interchangeable.

Why doesn't anyone specify that Graphene OS can only be installed on Pixel?

I use Soocas ET2. Maybe it's not the best trimmer, but at least it's super convinient and nice looking. I bought it for 30 €.

So stupid idea. What if some 220V cable from a third-party manufacturer does fit?

Huawei doesn't even provide possibility to unlock bootloader, so it's big NO. Currently I'm using Lineage OS on my primary phone and Linux on secondary phone. But the main problem is big amount of proprietary staff like modems, that can even work bypassing SOC and OS. I found only one phone with truly open-source hardware. It's Liberty phone from Purism. It costs 2000$ and has perfomance comparable to 50$ Android phone.

Google-free phones? What are they? I know only Pinephone and Librem 5.

I don't have any app with embedded ads on my phone. All my apps is FOSS except banking apps. And when I didn't know about the existence of F-droid, I just downloaded patched apks with disabled ads or patched apps by myself using luckypatcher.

That's because Aliexpress refund system works good. But some time ago, several chinese seller tried to fool me in direct messaging saying "close the appelation and I'll return money to your PayPal". Also I had bad expirience with chinese software. It's always proprietary, contain bugs and rarely get fixes.

Tiktok was caught spying on American journalists. Where is the racism here?
