I feel like the pixel 8 is in a good sweet spot right now for remaining update support, price, features, etc.

I'm sure it varies by country but I got two upgrades from my carrier during blackfriday deals and my total monetary commitment per 256GB pixel 8 works out to $240 CAD over 2 years while lowering my monthly plan fee and increasing my data cap compared to before on my BYOD plan.

Extremely cheap for what I would argue is an ideally sized (maybe a bit big) flagship phone.

1000% worth it to get grapheneos. I've said it before and I'll say it again, its LIBERATING to feel in control of your own device again.

Edit: regarding your AA disconnects, my s10 on Samsung's stock android had disconnects too over the course of several years and many updates;, AA just kinda sucks tbh.

Lol I'd maybe give it more than 30 minutes and 10 votes before you call it, but absolutely lets see where it sits after a decent portion of the sub has had a chance to see the post

Hmm ya that is a little lower limit than I expected on premium. Could hit that with normal throwaway acc use.

Would be nice if they allowed like 10 IMO but I guess they have to set the limit somewhere to stop spammers using the service.

Guess you could delete the older aliases as you stop using those throwaways and recycle the slot? Not a perfect solution, but 4 throwaways and 1 main at any given time isnt too shabby.

I have a gulikit king kong pro 2 (I think I got the name right). Been using it about a year now, works good on linux (Nobara). Has various modes for different consoles and phones and hall effect sensor sticks (which wont have stick drift) which was the motivation for trying it, along with the lower price compared to the official Xbox controller. Came with a nice hard case and rechargeable lithium too.

Been pleasantly surprised so far.

One sticky point that took me a bit to clue in to was you need to login to an x11 session not the default Wayland. Unless sunshine has been updated to support wayland, this was about Feb I discovered that.

To change just log out and select x11 in bottom left corner of the login screen. Dont forget to switch back next time if you arent using sunshine

+1 for simplelogin.

Cancelled proton unlimited since the majority of their platform is lacking features on Linux and switched to just a simplelogin subscription to pocket the savings.

This is built-in to firefox rightclick menu when copying the URL, no extension needed. Less extensions means less fingerprint

This is literally client-side encryption using fully open source programs... If you "do not trust it to be e2e", verify the code yourself. Doing your own encryption on top would be redundant.

I agree their bottle/applicator is the GOAT. Can't go back to other brands after trying a bottle of loctite.

I've been using ASK for like 4 years now and never knew this, thank you for the tip!

Stay away from creality IMO, especially your first printer. Shit quality control and there are better options out there now in the budget arena like sovol and elegoo. You'll spend more time troubleshooting than printing with creality in my experience.
