That's a shame, are you talking about a fair phone? I was not aware there could be versioning issues, I thought the hardware was unchanged per model.

You unlock during the e os install but it makes you relock after. Not aware of any additional security issues using this process

Google services are not installed by default but you can install the play store and other google apps from the built in app store if you need them. The only thing I am lacking from stock is google pay because I haven't installed any google services but I'm fine with that trade off.

The built-in anti tracking and privacy features a very nice

I run /e/ OS on my FP4, super easy install. Been loving it.

Been running Linux as primary is for 10-15 years now, used to distro hop a lot, often just because. Life is too busy for that now but I last installed fedora (KDE, I always run KDE out of preference) about 5 years ago and I'm really impressed. The system is very current but its always remained stable for me and upgrading from version to version is smoother than normal security patches on win 10 which I still run for CAD.

Are you all up to date? Tbh I do agree with the other post, ASUS have terrible QA and don't care.

I was wondering how badly out of context the above quote must be considering the UA isn't checked in the function. Above poster is trying to construe it as a pure and simple permanent delay for Firefox.

That being said, the solution is still bullshit.

I moved to /e/ os so have been using magic earth which is preinstalled. Haven't felt the need to go back to gmaps yet.

I'd be surprised if he could liquidate more than 40bln today, look at Tesla stocks P/E, its a house of paper cards. Spacex is always reportedly on the edge of bankruptcy. Last evaluation I saw of twitter value from its lenders was around 17bln, subtract its debts, that's about 4bln.

He really has bet the house, it now a question of how long he can keep going on Tesla stock backed loans and if the stock price holds.

Save us phosh, or something similar..

Wonder how many reddit subs this person 'moderates'

The only legit media service I pay for now is YouTube. Before I get Amy lectures I am well aware of the issues with it, but also people still keep paying for Netflix as it cancels shows just as they start to grow, so... I'm a legacy google music sub, so moving over for me was a tiny cost increase to no longer mess with adblock on the site, though recently I do feel the YTM 'radio' algo is not as good as legacy google music. Self employed manufacturing stuff in my workshop all day either video or music is always on so its a bargain to me. My point being, that's the only streaming sub I find worth paying for, out of everything. Maybe I'm an edge case but I just don't see 4/5 of these services still existing in 5 years, its too much. Unless they can all survive on people subbing for 2-3 months a year

Someone who spends 10k+ on a bike is probably fit as fuck, so biking 10s of miles to get somewhere is nothing, plus you can take it on the train. New bottom bracket every couple years, maybe 200 in tyres, maybe 100 in brake parts. Cost of getting around, it only takes a few years to pay for itself even at those prices when you add on the actual costs of running a car, saying all this as someone who drives. If you don't need to move a bunch of stuff or other people around, in terms of transport cost even an expensive bike is cheap of you use it.
