Telegram Has Tightened the Limits on Publishing Stories
Users that are not subscribed to Telegram Premium may now only publish up to 1 story per day, 3 stories per week, and 10 stories per month. On top of this, the list of countries that are unable to post stories without Premium has expanded to include at least the UK, Germany, and Indonesia. We haven't verified if any other countries are affected and it is not known if this was intentional or an error.
Along with those countries, users with phone numbers from Russia, Ukraine, India, and Iran still cannot publish stories without first subscribing to Telegram Premium.
If you've lost the ability to post stories without Premium today and your country is not listed, tell us in the comments so we can update the list.
When the feature was first launched, Telegram allowed up to 3 free stories per day. However, in early February, the limit was reduced to 2 stories per day.

Android 15 is done!
Today's Pixel Drop update is based on Android 15 QPR2, for which Google also started uploading the source code.
QPR2 is the final quarterly release of Android 15, as Google has accelerated Android's release cycle and will be releasing Android 16 earlier than usual in Q2 of this year.
(More details on this accelerated release cycle here.)
Android 15 will still be getting security patch backports, but it won't be getting any new feature updates. Onward to Baklava!

Given that Nvidia treats its customers like crap and gouges them perhaps it's time to consider the alternatives. While Intel CPUs might be terrible their GPU offerings are starting to pick up favor.
The way to stick it to Nvidia is to choose other offerings.
