          Get a Google Pixel and install GrapheneOS. First Smartphone/OS combo I really enjoy, mostly because this device is fucking secure. I just can’t bare non-updatabe CFWs, long forgotten branded roms and Google services…

            I am likely going with the pixel, just because of the free-er ecosystem on it, plus the update window they committed to last time around is super nice

        Wow, that site is borderline magical.

        Anyway, it’s funny to see how big companies can’t handle the global nature of today’s economy or even the global nature of the Internet.
