🍒 Stable V2 release! Changelog: - Upstreamed to 4.9.273 - Built with Snapdragon Clang - Unified regular and inbuilt WLAN builds! Now you can flash this single ZIP, regardless if you're on ROMs or GSIs - Switched to legacy LMK and tuned it properly - Re-tuned UClamp - Added CPU input boosting - Added Devfreq boosting - Added adrenoboost - Added IORap. App opening speed can improve up to +26%! - Added DT2W - Backported and optimized RCU from 4.14 - Reduced kernel ticker to 500Hz to improve battery - Fixed tasks affination. Low-priority tasks were being affined to big cores, draining battery and affecting overall performance on previous build - Removed CPU and GPU underclocks. After benchmarking, turns out these frequencies were extremely inefficient - Disabled eMMC SPI CRC. SPI lines failures are commonly caused by voltage issues. A device with wrong voltages will have more issues than SPI corruption, so this ends up being useless for both healthy and broken devices - Removed lots of debugging bloat and unneeded drivers - Removed audit

Telegram hopes to raise $1bn with a convertible bond private placement
The super secure UAE-based Telegram messenger service, developed by Russian-born software icon Pavel Durov, is looking to raise $1bn through a bond placement to a limited number of investors from Russia, Europe, Asia and the Middle East, the Kommersant daily reported citing unnamed sources on February 18, 2021.The issue reportedly comprises exchange bonds that could be converted into equity in the messaging service that is currently 100% owned by Durov and his brother Nikolai.Kommersant reports that the price of the conversion would be at a 10% discount to a potential IPO should it happen within five years.The minimum bond placement is said to be set at $50mn, but could be lowered to $10mn. Five-year bonds could carry an annual coupon of 7-8%.
However, analysts are positive on the stock now. “We have seen a huge downside movement in the stock due to the central electricity regulatory commission’s (CERC) order that seems to be negative from 2014-15 onwards but we cannot take a linear negative view on the stock and further downside movement on the stock is unlikely. Currently stock is underpriced. Investors can bet on it for a longer horizon," said Vivek Gupta, director research at CapitalVia Global Research.
