I know right. I can go into Proton now and create an [email protected] alias if I want...for free

Same, gmail now means garbage mail and only acts as a filter for my Protonmail now.

Yea, I guess it's impossible to make burner gmail accounts too...

I wouldn't even call Tesla expensive (to make) or luxury. Every Tesla I've been in has seemed empty, plain, and feels cheap. The only expensive part about it is the batteries and the labor to make it. I'm sure the price is just inflated due to all of the attention and hype that company has received over the years.

Since this whole debacle started, they've just made ad blockers more prevalent to people who didn't know about them. Ad blocker use is actually up now compared to when they started making this a big deal. So, in a way, they actually screwed themselves.

Look at you being a nice internet person. Kudos to you. Have a good week.

Lol I got down voted for saying hi to a fellow trekkie that's also on the same trek instance as me. I'm pretty sure we are a small instance, so randomly coming across another person from our instance is kinda rare.

👋 hello fellow trekkie in the wild

Yes, they even have a walk through on how to do it.

I can't speak to GrapheneOS since I've never tried it.

I will say that my son has the 6a, and I don't recall him complaining about it. My wife had the 6 from when it came out until the 7 came out and we traded that thing in as fast as we could because of the issues, but the 7 ended up doing the same things.

I'm still rocking my S21+ from 2ish years ago and it's going strong. I hate the bloat, but it wasn't as bad as I heard Samsung can be. I couldn't tell you anything about the S22 or S23 generations.

It just seems like smartphone innovation has become stagnant. I'm hoping for the new fairphone due to the repairability. I dont want to buy the fairphone 4 due to it being over 2 years old already. I've found that I don't need some beefy top of the line phone for what I use phones for. In fact, it seems like phones are having issues being actual phones now. In the past year, just trying to make calls has been horrible. I can't believe how bad it's gotten. I have so many dropped calls or poor reception, but my phone will show 4+ bars with 5G and will still stream music and do GPS navigation without issue. But make a phone call, nope, the primary function it's supposed to have, it just says fuck you.

They've been trash phones since the 4. My wife and i had the 3s and they were great phones.

My wife has been through both the 6 and 7 now and is constantly having issues with the hardware and some minor issues with the software. Phones overheating and shutting off just from browsing the web, poor battery life, screen completely dying, apps like spotify and facebook just not loading or crashing, the phone freezing up and not accepting any screen or button input, the phone calling 911 by itself.

I didn't hear great things about the 5 either. But it seems like their marketing department knows what it's doing because the 8 sounds like it's getting rave reviews yet again.

I'm hoping fairphone brings their new phone to the US.
