A small project to help out anyone trying to keep their old devices functional.
I wrote a script to scrape pages of some popular alternative OS projects (such as postmarketOS and LineageOS), and put them into a single list. I’ll try to automate and keep this up-to-date. Any additional OS suggestions and comments are welcome!
All my old devices become un-chargeable due to USB-C plug wearout. Even with wireless charging I cannot avoid sometimes needing a wired full charge.
I have not heard of USB-C wearing out yet. What devices are those? Have to be new enough to have USB-C.
Samsung and Pixel, but various earlier models with micro-USB also. The plugs on my nightstand chargers have also tended to loosen up over time, but since I don’t unplug those as often they don’t seem to be the weak link.
My Pixel 3a had to be retired when it could no longer “hold” with plugged in cable (and had to be chargeda day).
Did you abuse it heavily? I have an old 3a and the USB-C works fine
