IIRC, those are not supported as of now.

I have been running Asahi on my M2 MacBook Air for the last ~9 months or so and actually really enjoy it. Showed me the world of aarch64. Battery life could be better but normal low level power usage ranges in the 6 to 7 hour mark. But nothing close to official Apple battery usage.

which is fine and all but majority of people will take that first piece of news and not see the updated information / article piece. The damage is done at that point.

Agree. Also how the article (well really the people) were complaining about long lines. I mean, is that not usually the case when something opens for the first time?

Coming from a 2060 Super, would this be a good upgrade? I dont really play newer high demand games, but i do enjoy my emulation. Currently on 2060 super and dont really have any issues with emulation.Ryzen 5 3600X / linux (of course :))

I was sooooo interested in Linux phones over the last couple years. Following the Pinephone and various other Distro that were tailored for mobile and it just didnt go anywhere.

Even with things like Waydroid that allows to run Android Apps on top of the distro. Im very hoping that in years, this will change. I love my OnePlus 9 + Murena OS with its built-in tracker blocker.

When i ship out collector / trading cards, common practice is to tape the card in between 2 slabs of cardboard to prevent bending (this ofcourse being inside of a sleeve / top loader plastic liner). Usually the protective case is taped to the cardboard with blue painter tape. It doesnt leave residue behind on the cardboard nor the plastic holder
