If there's anybody interested in a Google Pixel 7a I have one up on Ebay. It's 18 months old and still in great shape. You will be receiving the phone, a usb c charging cable, the manual, a USB C to A adapter, a spare screen protector, an OtterBox Commuter case, and the original box. There is already a screen protector installed on the phone. This phone comes preinstalled with GrapheneOS so it is great for those who want a more privacy and security focused option but want to stay with an Android based OS for familiarity. The phone will be shipped with tracked shipping.

If there's anybody interested in a Google Pixel 3 I have one up on Ebay. I was going to Install Ubuntu Touch on it but that wasn't an option for this model. Outside of me breaking it the seal to find this out it was brand new prior to that. You will be receiving the phone, a usb c charging cable, the manual, a USB C to A adapter, a USB C to audio adapter, the original earbuds,and the original box. This phone comes preinstalled with Android 12

If you're looking for a privacy focused dekstop system I have a used Dell Optiplex 7050 up for sale on Ebay. It's a nice system for basic use with a Core i7-6700, 16GB RAM; 500GB NVME SSD; 500GB HDD, Intel HD 530, and with Trisquel 11.01 on it. I will donate 10% of my net profits to the Trisquel project.

I mentioned a couple days ago that the Linux Libre kernel has been updated to version 6.16. A whole bunch more blobs had to be removed to keep it fully libre. This continues to be one of the best kernels to use if privacy and security are your top concerns as it keeps closed source blobs to a miniumum that do God knows what. I Updated my NovaCustom NV41 and my Z690 desktop earlier with no issues. I also have some great news to announce. I always test new major releases of the libre kernel on some spare GPU's to see if any of them have become supported and while I can't say that anything new started working with the Libre Kernel I can say that my R9 270 has vastly improved under it. It was a few kernels ago when I could start to actually use the R9 270 and do things like change refresh rates and resolutions as well as use multiple monitors. Gaming on Super Tux Kart was a slideshow even on lowest even up to kernel 6.15. With the 6.16 version of the Libre Kernel the frame rates have improved from a 1-2 FPS slideshow to a minimum of 17 FPS and a maximum of 23 FPS. That may not seem like much but it gives me a lot of hope and it is positive progress. Perhaps when Trisquel 12 and the next version of Devuan stable release they may even build upon that as they will have a newer version of Mesa than the 23.2.1 and the 22.3.6 that they have right now.
