Deep inspection package, it is a real issue, not only Mullvad, most VPNs are being attacked.
Mullvad has DAITA and Shadowsocks, Try enabling those, it could solve your problem.
Proton VPN has as well a decent obfuscation protocol and a free tear for testing
Amnezia VPN has probably the best obfuscation protocol against DIP (deep inspection package) that most ISP are using to block your traffic and web sites too

1. “We are in the singularity.”
2. “I think we’ll hit AGI in 2026.”
3. “You’re at the top of the rollercoaster about to go down.”
4. “Don’t worry about squirreling money away for retirement. It won’t matter.”
5. “I don’t just have courtside seats— I’m on the court. It still blows my mind multiple times a week.”

The problem you are having can be, probably, solved using the developer menu...
Go to settings, developer options, force delete pending.
Once it does, click on resync transactions
You probably have some invoices you didn't pay half way due to who knows what reason, you changed your mind, network failed, etc, thoae issues mess up the proof and the resynch and deletiom of pending is not done automated...

#### 🇪🇺 Europe's Living Standards Hit 40-Year Low Versus US
European living standards are currently at their lowest level in over 40 years compared to the US, primarily due to stagnant income growth and rising costs, such as energy bills.
This is measured by Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita.
Income and Inflation: The typical adult's income in the EU has not kept pace with inflation, leading to a decline in real purchasing power. Energy costs have surged by approximately 60%.

🚀 Ending QT tomorrow December 1st halts approx $40 billion per month in total runoff, providing a subtle boost keeping that cash in the system (via reinvestments).
This will ease short term funding stresses (like lower SOFR spreads) instantly, as markets anticipate less reserve pressure.
What does it means for #Bitcoin?
Lower yields on short term Treasuries, potential Bitxoin rally (as seen post-2019 QT end).

Focusing more on what he does instead of what he says tells always the story, that goes for all billionaires attempting to molde the future publicly...
Musk, Bezos, Gates and others are pushing their view of the future all with their agendas and all saying they care about the future of humanity,
Let's do a simple cross reference with LLMs
Elon Musk
Statements:
Preserve human consciousness via multiplanetary life and AI symbiosis; eliminate poverty through abundance; build universal knowledge repository to safeguard civilization.
Actions:
SpaceX for Mars colonization; Neuralink for brain-AI interfaces; xAI's Encyclopedia Galactica (open-source AI knowledge archive, distributed across solar system); Tesla's Optimus robots for universal high income.
Bill Gates:
focus appears on philanthropy via blog/foundation, e.g., global health/education). Not much to show for recently but a lot of controversy, especially during the plandemic.
Jeff Bezos
Statement:
"Climate change is the biggest threat to our planet" (2020 Instagram post announcing Bezos Earth Fund).
Actions:
Pledged $10B to Earth Fund (2020); granted $3B for nature conservation (2021 COP26), including $2B for habitats/food systems; $1B for global conservation (e.g., Congo Basin, 2021).
Statement:
Recent X posts emphasize "Gradatim Ferociter" (step by step, ferociously) for space progress, e.g., celebrating Blue Origin engine burns and landings (Nov 2025).
Actions:
Founded Blue Origin (2000); ongoing tests/launches (e.g., New Shepard missions, 2025); $1B+ annual investment in reusable rockets.

The lack of debate and the censoring of MDs and scientists that had concerns about this possibility and other things was unprecedented... and here we are now, sad for those who will be affected but a lesson for future emergencies.

Trying to get a non tech savvy friend to swap from Windows to Linux ... great timing since Windows is discontinuing support for W10
Massive failure LOL!
His conclusion, this sucks, f$#& that 🤣
well, I tried...
External keyboard didn't work, web cam didn't work. I told him, let's fix that, it will be fun to troubleshoot a and solve the issue... He look at me and said, Are you F.. kidding me, is 2025, this Linux thing have been around over 30 years and from the box can't get a web can and a Bluetooth keyboard, F.. that! 🤣
I don't blame him, Linux, after 30 years is not a ready product for the masses, sad but true...
Good it was using external USB drive for testing, I hope he remembers how to re enable secure boot from the BIOS, LOL!

📰 The Secret Service said it discovered a secret communications network of more than 100,000 SIM cards and 300 servers capable of carrying out “nefarious” attacks in the New York City area as leaders convened for the U.N. General Assembly.
That amount of hardware is quite large, that level sophistication takes time and men power with the know how to achieve it, that investigation will open a can of worms ...

I keep reading incredibly absurd comments in social networks about people complaining that their private employer fired them because of a post "violating", wait for it ... Their 1st amendment rights!
Those are Americans or people living and working in the USA. It is unreal how uninformed they are.
The 1st Amendment only applies to government, your private employer is not affected by it.
If your private employer doesn’t like you post because they reflects badly on them, your firing is justified, not that they need much of a justification thought.
Last four years tons of conservatives were fired from private companies for similar reasons, posting emotional political rants on social networks, it seems this time is the liberals that are getting fired... it seems an endles vicious circle for them and it does not seem it will get better but worst.

📰 🚨 🇪🇺EU Countries Chat Control Vote
As of September 12, 2025, the European Union Council meeting concluded with fifteen member states publicly supporting the Danish compromise proposal, which includes mandatory client-side scanning of encrypted messages to detect child sexual abuse material Four countries—Estonia, Greece, Romania, and Slovenia—remain undecided, making their final positions pivotal for the outcome
**Countries in Favor of Chat Control:**
* Bulgaria
* Croatia
* Cyprus
* Denmark
* France
* Hungary
* Ireland
* Italy
* Latvia
* Lithuania
* Malta
* Portugal
* Slovakia
* Spain
* Sweden
**Countries Opposing Chat Control:**
* Austria
* Belgium
* Czech Republic
* Finland
* Germany
* Luxembourg
* Netherlands
* Poland
The final vote by the European Council is scheduled for October 14, 2025, with the outcome dependent on the positions of the four undecided states.
Unreal that despite all cryptografy experts reports explaining the inefficacy of the proposed surveillance and the importance of E2E encryption for privacy as a human right, we still have so many countries in the EU pedaling this using child abuse as a excuse while doing very little to tackle the root problem itself with UN based recommendations.

📰 NEW - Nepal's Prime Minister resigns and flees, as protesters burn down his house and chase finance minister through the streets.
Nepal’s government lifts social media ban after violent protests erupted over the restriction, leaving 19 dead and 145 injured. Protesters, mostly Gen Z, clashed with police near Parliament, prompting army deployment and a curfew.
Gen Z in Nepal seems to have their priorities quite clear, banning social networks is a red line and they will die defending their right to keep using then 🤔

Reading about stable coins with my thinking hat on ended up with few notes taken and observations:
1. Stablecoin issuers buy US debt via Treasury Bonds, pegging them to the US dollar.
2. Foreign Crypto Exchanges will buy them and add liquidity to their systems, centralized or decentralized making the stablecoin issuers a potential top 10 US debt holders.
3. US stablecoins could bypass banks in big emerging markets, this undercuts local currencies and boost dollar dominance.
This seems a logical and obvious plan.
Question is:
Will foreign countries deploy counter measures?
Like::
- Banning US stable coins
- Creating their own stable coins
- Updating regulation
Seems only logical, more over when the play is so obvious...
Of course USA current administration could send some destroyers and accuse the dearing banning county of narco-terrorism or any other non sense, since apparently, inventing narratives out of the blue with no intelligence reports going back years to back it up is a new norm ... What a chaotic time to be alive...

Good take, you reminded me of Edward Snowden when he lectured us on why he runs his own TOR exit node and runs his own traffic through it, mixing his data with the noise of hundreds if not thousands of people, making his metadata ... noise...
IMO, the ideal OpSec is a two tear protocol, and I agree, very inconvenient, but easier than the usual most use.

Coming back to your main question, which was battery size, both batteries are indeed different, Pixel 10 Pro, for instance has a battery about 1000mAh larger capacity than the one from the iPhone 16 Pro.
Now both mobiles have a similar battery performance under heavy usage despite the size difference, but consider my answer above, the iPhone does the job for the user to dim the screen and keep the background apps dormant aggressively, while the Android user has the freedom to choose what is allowed in the background to work.
