@mito77 OnePlus 6T is only 2 1/2 years old and has a whooping 6 or 8GB of RAM! You can still buy a brand new one.

@ubuntoutou I have now managed to make the Microsoft Wireless Adapter work on another external display but the ubuntu desktop is compressed vertically. It does not occupy the whole screen so that the desktop is distorted. Furthermore, it is blur...

I have tried a Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter for convergence with a Meizu Pro 5. The phone says it is connecting to this adapter but ends up with failure. Any idea why?

The situation in the European Union is not the same as in the United States.

The European patent office is trying again to pass legislation that would bring their unitary (i.e. Europe wide) patent into force despite the European Parliament having rejected it.
Here is an appeal for help against this attack on open source software:

@UniSuperBox I would just like to know your opinion on this optimisation work because it looks very impressive.

• Will the Pro1 X use mainline Linux kernel?
• Could you please talk about xnux.eu?

Could we have Dalton's cat opinion on UT development?

Usually recent mobile phones don't run UT because it takes time to port the software onto them. So I am surprised that the port to the OnePlus 6T was so quick. What happened then?
Has anyone tested convergence on this beast of 8GB of RAM? This could be an ideal device for use as a desktop computer.

Would it be possible to boot the PP from external flash memory connected to the USB-C port? This would avoid having to remove the back cover when swapping SD cards.

I am curious: what happened to librem 5 UBports port?

While quite some months ago we saw quick progress, at some point for some reason it was more or less "wiped" from UBports site. What's the story behind this?

Purism recently claimed that hardware will be shipped "late November 2020". Will there still be a port available?

Could it be because someone noticed that if you remove just one letter from "Purism", you get PRISM !?

Why was Chromium chosen as a basis for the Morph browser instead of Firefox? Would it have been easier to install add-ons like NoScript and Badger with Firefox? What about Firefox Focus (aka Firefox Klar in Germany)?

May I ask what the plane box on Florian's shelves is?

It turns out that the SunshineTronic SlimPort adapter is not fake. It does works... on the Nexus 7 but not on the Nexus 5, at least not on my monitor and TV.

However the resolution sent by the phone to my PC monitor does not match the resolution of the monitor itself, leading to a strange horizontally stretched rendering that is not very usable.

Shall we ever be able to boot from a mainline kernel and from an SD card on Android devices?

@kugiigi Thanks Kugiigi. I have used a power supply, two different HDMI cables (the one on my PC with DVI adapter and the one on my TV). I have plugged unplugged and plugged the SlimPort to the phone a number of times. I haven't tried another SlimPort adapter since I am not too keen on buying another one.

If anyone has exactly the same adapter with the same SunshineTronic brand, I would like to know how it performs.

If anyone is aware of the existence of fake SlimPort adapters, whatever the brand, I would like to know as well.

@dobey I have just tried again without selecting External Display and the result is the same: no result.

@BrisPete Thanks BrisPete. I should have found out by myself instead of starting a new thread... Sorry.

@Capsia Thanks Capsia and yes I have plugged a micro-USB cable to the SlimPort with the USB-A end of the cable plugged to my PC. I have even tried several micro-USB cables since I know that all micro-USB cables are not the same - (what a mess for the USB "standard"!).

@poVoq Has your SlimPort the inscription SunshineTronic like mine? I got mine from eBay. I hope it isn't a fake adapter. I don't think it is because when I plug the micro-USB to it while the phone is off the battery appears on screen indicating charging. That's unless the HDMI part of the adapter is fake...? Or as you say, the USB port of the phone is degraded. But in that case, I would probably not have been able to install UT in the first place.

Is there any way to organise bookmarks by storing them in some folders. I can't see any option to create folders.
