The #PinePhone modem (yes, the modem) can now run Linux kernel 5.10 ( @postmarketOS )... we're sure many of you know where this is heading :)
Massive thanks to biktorgj, konradybcio and others.

Me: I would like a different behaviour on my PC.

Mac: Well, let's hope Apple will implement that in a couple of years...

Windows: Not implemented, but here is some software from the internet. Wait, where did that virus come from??

Linux: Done

One of these is how computer should work, can you guess which one it is?

The allwinner kernel (#pinephone, #pinetab) was updated to megi's 5.9.1 tree in #postmarketOS edge. Lots of great improvements, including the long-awaited HDMI fix, improved call quality (thx smaeul!), and no 30s wait for modem on shutdown. @PINE64 gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmapor

Thanks to the work of Samuel Holland, crust advanced power management is now capable of running the #PinePhone for 100hrs in idle without the modem (approximately 110mW). With modem on, we should get 40% battery run-time increase (to approx 24 hrs).
Coming to your distro of choice soon!

We know many of you are waiting for #PinePhone @ubports CE - it will be shipping very soon. Meanwhile, here are pictures taken the day production wrapped up. We're not going to spoil the phenomenal box design for this CE (by @cibersheep on Twitter) however, pictures don't do it justice.

That's how the Librem 5 performs with all the GPU acceleration in place :) @purism
