I’ve had the best heat headphones Bose has to offer in the Quiet Comfort series and to me this “state of the art noise cancellation” sounds like artefact- and distortion-inducing noise. I’ve returned them and replaced them with much better,

I think this guy is having issues because he is using Slack, which is known to kill any machine it is launched on (even high-end developer machines) on a lower end, ultra-cheap ARM laptop. The Pinebook Pro itself is probably reasonable (giv

Like other people here have mentioned Ubuntu touch/UBports is probably not the most Linuxy thing you can run on this phone, and there’s a wide choice of distros to choose from. It’s almost like real Linux! ;) That said I love seeing

This is the core of identity politics, and why it must be rejected outright anywhere it is promoted. It’s toxic to any reasonable and rational discourse.
