itsCartonon Android and iPhone users can now share files, starting with the Pixel 10

KDE Connect handles that and a ton more very seamlessly imo. Not sure if the solution has to be first-party to qualify as "non-dodgy" but for a third-party solution it's pretty damned good

itsCartonon Telegram Combolists and 361M Email Addresses

Were the compromised accounts sourced from Telegram or was that just the distribution channel? It's not 100% clear given your article and I feel like it's unfair to associate Telegram's name with the leak if they were merely a means of distribution.

I don't mean to trivialize the breach in any way mind you. I just want to ensure that those who don't read the full article aren't mislead into believing Telegram is any less secure because of this (assuming they weren't breached of course)
