Maybe they’ll have more new features this time :/

I actually like this redesign. Anyone else?

I use GrapheneOS and all I miss from Android is the custom lock screen clocks and pulling images from any app using the recent apps page.

Ok how do you do that?

I’ve had trouble with it in the past as well. Are you in a place where you can get actual cell service or just wifi?

Doesn’t affect it at all if you use the Google camera app. You can restrict it’s access to the internet as well if you’re concerned about it sharing.

Pixels have GrapheneOS, that’s good enough for me.

Trust me. If it’s a problem, they will find a solution. They’re literally the most secure Android ROM out there.

GrapheneOS is definitely a great choice if this kind of stuff bothers you.

Did you even read the article? That’s literally what they’re planning.

Just turn on do not disturb. As soon as you turn it off, it will show you all the notifications you missed.

Most carriers with lock the bootloader so it’s best practice to get the phone either A) directly from Google, B) from Best buy or some other second party seller, or C) make sure that whoever you’re buying from did A or B.

It might, it might not: https://www.tomsguide.com/phones/google-pixel-phones/google-pixel-8a

A used Pixel could be good like other people have said but the 8a should be coming out sometime this year and will probably be well within your price range. If you buy it directly, you can even install GrapheneOS on it if you want extra privacy!

Stario is pretty cool. It even has built in RSS and notes!

Bro this is not the monkey’s paw!

As long as you don’t interact with the devs lol. It’s a really good OS despite the controversy.

You can install GrapheneOS on the Pixel so I’d say that one.

I’ve heard good things about MAUS cases but you can’t really go wrong with OtterBox.

Counterpoint: a 22-year-old has been a legal adult for 4 years in basically every western country, is allowed to drink alcohol, and can join the military.

So you think that parental controls should be in place until the age of 22?

Not my kid but yeah.

15. Yes I know that’s way too old to be putting parental controls on their phone.

Yeah they were talking about a game and then started getting ads for that game. Classic start to the story lol

The thing is, the kid has started realizing the data collection that’s going on and it’s interested in switching. That’s the only reason I’m genuinely pursuing this.
