  1. I firmly believe that #Windows #users who only #browse the #web, watch #movies, use #word processing and #email, and do some basic #photo #editing are much better off with #Linux than with #Windows11. This is likely true for 85% of home Windows users.

    You don't even have to make any major adjustments because the software looks almost identical on Windows and Linux:

    1) For #browsing use #Firefox (or #LibreWolf).
    2) For word processing use #LibreOffice.
    3) For emails use #Thunderbird.
    4) For movies use #VLC.
    5) For photo editing use #Gimp (or #Krita).
    6) There are now also better alternatives to many other Windows applications available on Linux...

    So please explain to me why #XDA thinks Linux is only for Windows users who just surf the web? source: xda-developers.com/linux-becom…

    Which Linux distribution do you recommend for #beginners switching from Windows?

    Linux is quietly becoming the better choice for Windows users who just browse the web

  2. Recently unpacked an older favourite #MechanicalKeyboard of mine and using it since then: The rather flat #VortexGear #Race3 with #CherryMX #SilentRed switches and (#Massdrop × #Hasbro) #XDA #Scrabble #keycaps, designed by @cassidoo.

    Oh, and while looking for the original product link, I just noticed that (Mass)Drop now seems to belong to #Corsair and really died completely 😢: "Starting our next chapter, #Drop will become a hub for our collaborations with truly exciting titles." 🙄

  4. There's an article on #XDA about staying with #X11 rather than using #Wayland for now.
    "Despite the shiny new tech, X11 seems to be a more reliable option due to its compatibility with a variety of apps. It doesn’t break as often…" xda-developers.com/reasons-lin

    No sabría decirte pero en todo caso si quieres sacarte la duda ya sea porque todavía tienes el celular o porque no más quieres saber cómo se hacía, a lo mejor puedes visitar el foro de #XDA y buscas por el modelo de celular.

  8. The minds behind NotebookLM just launched their first tool since leaving Google, and it already feels like a hit – xda-developers.com

    By Mahnoor Faisal, Published 9 hours ago

    Mahnoor is a News Writer at XDA who has been in the professional writing game since her sophomore year of high school. While pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, she also has bylines esteemed publications like XDA’s sister site, MakeUseOfSlashGear, Laptop Mag, and Android Police.

    Whether she’s spending hours debugging code or staying up all night to watch a tech event, Mahnoor’s passion for technology is undeniable. She loves writing about all things tech, with a particular focus on iOS and macOS.

    While many are familiar with Google’s AI-powered research assistant, NotebookLM, thanks to its viral features like Audio Overviews and Mind Maps, not many know about the people who made the tool possible. If you fall into that group, let me give you a quick rundown.

    NotebookLM was launched as an experimental Google Labs project under the code name “Project Tailwind” in 2023, and the team behind it included Raiza Martin as the product lead, Jason Spielman as the design lead, and Stephen Hughes as a software engineer. Despite the viral success of the tool, the three ended up leaving Google in December 2024 to launch their own startup, Huxe.

    The reason I brought all this up is because the startup just dropped its very first product, and one thing’s for certain: the minds behind NotebookLM just launched their first tool since leaving Google, and it already feels like a hit.

    Huxe is now available to download on the App Store and Play Store, and it’s completely free

    Today, the team behind NotebookLM launched their first product, which carries the same name as their startup: Huxe. Huxe is an AI-powered personalized audio service built on the same core idea as NotebookLM. It’s designed to help users cut down the amount of time they spend scrolling on a screen, and it aims to achieve that by creating an AI that’s made just for you. And the way Huxe is doing that is through the incredible (and unique) features it offers. The flagship feature of Huxe is Daily Briefings, which, similar to NotebookLM’s iconic Audio Overviews, creates a real-time podcast tailored to your schedule, inbox, and interests.

    Huxe connects and securely accesses your calendar and email, and then uses them to create a personalized audio briefing. It’s designed to replace the time you spend in the morning scrolling through overnight emails, half-read newsletters, and your upcoming calendar events. Instead, you get a quick five-minute rundown that tells you exactly what matters that day. When you first download Huxe and create an account, you’ll be asked to select a couple of your interests. Huxe then uses those preferences to personalize your Daily Briefings even further by including relevant news, updates, and insights tied to the topics you care about most.

  9. Me atraería más si se le pudiera poner estos SO Mobian, PostmarketOS, o PureOS

  10. Aviation weather for Dax Seyresse airport (France) is “LFBY 292200Z AUTO 10004KT 070V130 9999 // ////// 19/12 Q1016” : See what it means on bigorre.org/aero/meteo/lfby/en #dax #france #daxseyresseairport #lfby #xda #metar #aviation #aviationweather vl

  11. Thanks to the great people on #XDA #Forums my old and pretty much unusable #SamsungTablet #SMT295 is now running Android 14(with #noGAPPS of course) and it's usable again!
    Clearly it is not lighting fast, but compared to the slow and blown stock software it looks like so.

  12. #XDA informuje, ze jakas najnowsza #aktualizacja #Windows11 psuje system, powodujac, ze eksplorator plikow staje sie nieuzywalny i przestaje reagowac

    A u mnie jak na zlosc nadal wszystko dobrze dziala ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 🤣

  14. Time for the annual new #keycaps on my primary keyboard. #XDA profile with TTC “Bluish White” switches.

  15. L'installation de LineageOS s'est bien passée, c'était plus simple que prévu. #RTFM.

    En revanche, j'ai eu des galères avec l'app de ma banque (Crédit Mutuel), qui ne fonctionne pas sur les appareils rootés. Après avoir exploré le forum #xda et Reddit, j'ai découvert #Magisk. Après une réinstallation complète de LineageOS, l'ajout des "Google Play Services" via #NikGapps Core et de Magisk, tout fonctionne avec le strict minimum de Google.

  16. Die #XDA Startpage und die darauf veröffentlichten Clickbaitartikel nerven mich schön länger.... mal Kritik in einem Kommentar geäußert, wurde direkt gelöscht. Das kann also auch weg. *sigh*

  17. I wish #Telegram was not the central point for like all #Android :android: Custom Rom development. Like #XDA is/was far from perfect and had it's own issue but at least it was a public searchable forum.

    At least I can export these Telegram update rooms to #RSS :rss:
  18. So for the start I would like to find anything relevant.
    Internet places, communities, tags, anything that would help me get closed to people who are interested in making their phones be more than just content consumption devices.

    Also I dumped all of my knowledge on this topic into a post on #XDA
    forum.xda-developers.com/t/pho
    Maybe someone can find something useful or interesting in there.

  20. Nothing says we value your privacy more than having 1,498 partners you're going to share my data with.

  21. So here's my question: if I'm buying direct from Samsung (price premium or not), why can't I get a phone with an unlocked bootloader? That would interest me far more, and I'd even be willing to pay a premium for that (not that I should have to).

    Any restrictions from a carrier shouldn't be relevant if I'm not buying through a carrier.

  22. Linux Mobile Operating Systems:

    The ones which seem easier to port to most devices:
    - Ubuntu Touch (uses libhybris and Halium)
    - Droidian (uses libhybris and Halium)
    - postmarketOS (uses mainline kernel; deprecated libhybris support)
    - LineageOS (Vanilla AOSP ROM, without Google Services)
    - Other Android Custom ROMs
    - LuneOS (open source port of Open webOS; can be ported to any device with a working LineageOS ROM using Halium)
