OnePlus and lack of kernel sources (update)

Hey, guys. Following these two posts I made recently due to OnePlus not submitting the kernel sources for a few devices, I contacted the FreeSoftwareFoundation to investigate the possible violation and move forward.

One of the issues I had contacting OnePlus is that support simply is not capable of helping with sources. Most of the tickets I opened would result in specialists that didn't und...

(PSA) Chromecast with Google TV supports Bluetooth headphones

Just found this out while trying to watch a basketball game in my bedroom sitting next to my less than interested wife. I was able to quickly and easily connect my Airpods Pro by going to settings/remotes & accessories and then just pairing it. Watching TV with noise cancelling is amazing.

This device continues to be perfect is almost every way....

How much does the availability of certain brands influence your choice?

I see a lot of comments saying that Samsung is only popular in this sub because it's the default option in the US, and you can't find a lot of brands there. I live in Asia, and while we don't have Sony, LG or Google phones here, we have more options than an average American. Hell, I had to order my old Sony and LG from abroad, so that's possible as well. Yet I'm using a Samsung anyway, even though I'm not a big fan of their hardware, so not being able to buy a Vivo or Xiaomi phone wouldn't chang...

Galaxy S21 Ultra Screen Protector - Spigen Platinum Tray - Pretty Terrible

Quick review on this screen protector.

Purchased it this week as I liked the install procedure which appeared to leave little room for error considering the directions, video and kit inclusions.

Removed the pre-installed Samsung screen protector and ensured there was no residue or dust utilizing the alcohol wipes etc. Followed the install instructions after watching the video a couple of times and it went smoothly.

Post-install I was pretty stoked. Seemed to bond really well and sensitivity...

I think Samsung nerfs Android really bad...

I have a Samsung Galaxy phone. It just got an update to Android 11.

Android 11 is supposed to have a lot of great features from notification grouping by type to a better, native screen recorder to a power down screen with ability to control your smart home and get access to your payment service.

My Samsung Android has none of that.

Samsung's screen recorder sucks. While recording gameplay, it results in a terrible audio lag. The only reason why I got a Samsung Android phone and not somethi...
