I recently got two older #Android devices back that I gave away a few years ago. It's a 2015 #Teclast tablet from China and a 2017 Google #Pixel2XL. Both manufacturers ceased software support many years ago. They surely must be #ewaste in 2024? Let's find out!
Well, the #Pixel2XL certainly is not. It's still officially supported by #LineageOS, a free and #opensource #Android distro. That means you get the latest #Android14 and it runs well.

@relayer370 I see there are plenty of tutorials to pick from. I'll put in on the queue.
Do you know when you have hung on to a mobile phone for too long? When you get a quote to sell it and the phone is worth $2 USD. Sleep well Pixel2. I'll find something for you to do in the #homelab.

I was feeling pretty good that my phone is an ancient #Pixel2XL, then I looked up how long ago that came out and... it was only 3.5 years ago.
*sigh* We've still got a long way to go.
@LineageOS works great on my #Pixel2XL, which I daily drive along with my #PinePhonePro.
Does anyone here know how to test if a USB cord can carry data or not?
I have a USB A to USB C cable plugged in to a USB 2 port, and the phone charges with it, but I don't know if the cable can transfer data or not.
I'm trying to flash @LineageOS to a #Pixel2XL and the desktop OS isn't showing the phone in adb devices, fastboot devices or even lsusb. I have the Android UDEV rules installed.
