They're all too bloated. I would not purchase a handset unless I could install GrapheneOS or LineageOS on it.

Whether it's ADHD or chronic fatigue, the same stims will fix it.

That may be bad because if the treatment works, people assume the diagnosis is correct.

We need email. It's one of the few protocols that are 100% in the user's control. I run my own mail server. I can't do the same for whatsapp.

We've added a lot of checks to email (SSL, DKIM, DMARC, SPF) so it's very easy to identify spam these days. It's also easy to avoid giving any two companies the same email address. That's something much harder to avoid with a phone number.

For 2FA, per-account email addresses and authenticor apps are the best approach for privacy.

Australia has a "do not call register". It seems to mostly work, but telcos are having trouble with calls originating from outside the network with spoofed caller ID. We still get spam/scam calls from India among other places.

Even if they're not calling you directly, they are still using your phone number to link you to things and create a shadow profile behind the scenes.

I replicated the same problem on a newer pixel. I suspect it's all of them.

A plan like this would actually work if it were capped at the same price as an unlimited plan.

It never is though. Once I was lucky enough to exploit 1TB from a $70/month 5GB plan back in the days that my ISP didn't offer anything competitive. I ran that hustle for years.

My phone doesn't receive half of its incoming calls. I actually narrowed it down to the VoLTE keepalive packets being transmitted with a MAC address of 00:00:00:00:00:00 when on CLAT (which is Telstra default) on all Google Pixels. The connection silently dies, there is no return UDP route, so the phone won't ring.

I reported it to Google, but they don't give a shit. I guess the million or so people with a pixel can just deal with it.

It was falling back to 3G when it happened before. That's not going to happen now.

They should force fuel prices to be locked for 7 days. Changing it on a daily basis is bullshit.

It definitely happens if you upgrade to the next version of your distro while it's still in beta.

You hit a bunch of bugs, and they actually do get fixed around final release time.

Once you're on a stable branch, updates rarely include major changes.

She wasn't in a homeless tent, and saying that people also get bulldozed in warzones isn't really the same thing.

The US routinely kill the unprofitable.

It does give off a "regional exclusive" energy.

Is this a new way of dying that's only possible in the USA?
