It's got it's faults but I love the speakers on my Zenfone 10. Very loud with good bass, especially for a relatively compact phone.

I'd love a phone with a dedicated DAC and decent shielding like the old LG V devices. Whilst there are dedicated DAPs with these features at this point I'd prefer an all in one device. Although the ZD10 has a headphone jack I can hear humming with no music/sound through them -_-

They all look to be 123.0, though bizarrely the version advertised as flatpak in About Firefox doesn't pause/delay before opening but the other version does. No messages come through on dmesg -w unfortunately, I'm pretty stumped. The only clue I have is that the version of Librewolf I have on my desktop installed through the Pop Shop doesn't delay opening but the same version on my SP8 installed through deb does.

Ultimately it does point towards FF in show way?

I liked Armada but that's about it :/

I'm also having this issue on my desktop with Firefox flatpak connected via Ethernet and Librewolf deb on my Surface Pro 8 via WiFi. On the SP8 it opens immediately on disabling WiFi or switching off my VPN which seems bizarre but at least partially lines up with your experience.

I'm an uninformed casual on Linux but if I can help diagnose/resolve this lmk

You're amongst the stars now, safe travels Kenneth

Edit: for those who haven't watched it yet, I highly recommend this featurette https://www.startrek.com/en-un/news/exclusive-featurette-kenneth-mitchell-to-boldly-go

I wanted to like the 8 but the discrete modem meant battery life on 5G was still awful. It shouldn't be an answer to have to disable 5G for a phone this expensive so until Google sort that I'm steering clear of Pixels. Hopefully they'll resolve this for the 10 when Tensor G5 comes in

I know this is a meme but this is why I like being a a PopOS peasant. Proudly so, even

I've never had this come up and travel abroad a fair bit. Though now that I think about it I always use it through a VPN set to my home country lol

Happy running Linux on my SP8 but this actually makes M1/2 Apple hardware appealing

IDIC, thank you very much Lemmy Corps of Engineers

How's Mull's stability recently? I prefer it over Firefox too but switched back six months ago due to bugs cropping up here and there

Wayne Knight still underrated

Can confirm, love my SP8 which I got recently and promptly put Linux on it

I personally haven't but just from reading the Pop OS help page on BT I expect issues at some point

Yup, I was aware of that when I bought it. Annoying but I got a good deal on the 8, and want to upgrade the storage

Getting a surface pro 8 soon, looking forward to getting Linux on it!

Edit: installed Pop OS on my SP8, had to switch to Wayland and also needed to do some tweaks to get the keyboard to work to decrypt but it's running well so far. I believe you can get the camera working with the proprietary camera stack but it's not a priority for me right now

I like mine, mainly small gripes for me like I wish the shielding was a bit better on the headphone jack, Meta apps weren't bundled though ofc you can disable/remove them and the screen could be both brighter and get dimmer (to agree with the other review). I'm also a bit disappointed it doesn't support e-sims, though does support dual physical SIMs.

Performance is great as expected, battery is solid and the camera is good whilst not matching Pixels imo. Asus' skin is pretty light with some nice customisation options (like being able to switch between stock android and their version for certain parts of the OS). I also love the fingerprint sensor on the power button, just makes sense for me and reminds me of my old Xperia Compact phones. Whilst retaining the SD card slot would be handy, I went for 512GB so it's not an issue for me

Sad how far Android Police have fallen, as well as Google themselves

They do books too, I got most of the Pathfinder 1st edition PDFs from a Humble Bundle deal

If I had to get a replacement for my current laptop that'd definitely be it
