Am using a Zenfone 8 with a jack. As for future upgrade, still unsure. My top priority would be the size - has to be the same or preferably smaller than the Zenfone, so that limits my potential options.

I was travelling recently and was fortunate to be able to watch a F1 race. The track had a FM broadcast of the commentary in English, and my Zenfone 8 with the built in FM tuner made itself very useful indeed, since the FM tuner only works with wired earphones.

Daily drove wayland back in November when I finally built my new desktop and installed Nobara. It's the default and it juat worked out of the box. Have always been a windows user until now.

Games workost of the time. Good enough for me. Full team Red build inside the case.

Proper Compact phones. Think Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact or iphone mini size. Screen size of less than 5", none of this phablet sized monstrocity. Yes, the Samsung Galaxy S24 or the Zenfone 8 - 10 exist (I'm typing this on a Zenfone 8), but I personally bo not consider them compact in any way.

Rant over. :p

Might be easier to start with something "simpler" like the ECU or infotainment unit.

Leon, the URL cleaner. Use it to remove tracking links either before opening them or before sharing them.

Agreed 100%.

Before I got my noise cancelling headphones, I was very aware of the volume that I have set when trying to watch a movie in a plane. After I got the noise cancelling headphones, I no longer have to set it that loud anymore.

That said, some airlines need to relook their volumes of their PA system. Some of them are shockingly louder than necessary. Lol

Using a Zenfone 8. I like that they are keeping the 3.5mm plug. I don't use it very often but it is nice to know i have a backup. I still have the bundled earbuds from old phones in my bag as spare.

Having upgraded from a Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact, I would have preferred another phone with the same physical dimensions but we all know that's not possible. It is a nice screen, no doubt about it but I prefer pocketability and useability over a nice screen.

I was initially a bit apprehensive after reading all the reports about the ramdump issue but it seems to have been blown out of proportion?

I think it was from one of the many communities here that I found out about juicysms.com

Haven't had the need to use their services yet but they look legit.

Wing Commander 3 and Black & White.

Played both of them when i was a kid and it'll be nice to be able to play them again as an adult.

You purchase the base game which comes with a starter ship. In the game, you can do missions or do cargo trading to earn in-game money which you can use to buy ships.

You can absolutely use real world cash to purchase additional ships, which funds the development of the game. You don't have to if you don't want to. Almost all the ships can be purchased with in-game currency.

The main plus point for purchasing ships with real money is they are acvound bound and will stay with you after a database reset.

You can also get 90 degree angled headphone plugs which don't stick out much at all. Mskes me less worried when i have my phone in my pocket and I'm walking around.

As for 90 degree usb-c headphone adapters... nowhere to be found.

Depends on thw game and what sort of mod support it has. Obviously on Steam if it has Steam workshop support. DRM free on GOG is good but at the same time Steam has been doing quite of lot of good things related to gaming on Linux and I would like them to continue doing it.
