  Why not throw graphene or another alternative on it (if supported) instead of turning it into e-waste?

    Isn’t graphene left for dead because of Google being a bunch of dildos?

      There are ways around it, but their lead developer was drafted into their country’s military. Ultimately, they’re going to have to make their own phone.

      For now, it’s fine.

        they’re also working on backporting android 16 to pixels. in phase 2/3 last time i checked, so they are doing decently well. it’s not over, it just adds more work for them that i’m sure they can overcome.

  Second that, graphene os is really nice. I have all my intrusive work apps like team, google play stuff on a separate profile and my maim profile has all the private data and contacts. Just watch a yt for setup and follow website instructions, take maybe a few hours to set up.

  I can’t bring myself to use a Pixel because I don’t trust Google-everything. I have so much to say, and yet I’ve said it a thousand times already. So I’m just gonna sigh.

  And yes, I know I’m on Android either way.
