while I do not know anything about torrenting. “mullvad” is a highly recommended vpn providers with a strong emphasis on privacy.

Sell it to who?

Nevermind, I see that there is an s10e. I’ll compare those two phones to see if the 10e is worth the extra $20.

Thanks for the recommendation. I guess I do not mind running stock Android, but I would prefer something less bloated. It looks like the s9 is about $70 here, but the s10 is $150-200. Why would that one be so much more expensive?

I’m really just looking to spend around $100 on an android.

Where I live the 4a is like $140 used.

I was hoping that GrapheneOS would have longer security updates for the phones.

Maybe you would not know, but do you have any android models you would recommend? I’ll mostly just use it for streaming and a few apps that are not in the US App Store.

So, I’ve been using an Oppo f7 as I live between two counties and need apps that are exclusive to one country or another.

It’s dumb, but that’s how it is.

Anyway, the oppo f7 is kind of dated and the touch screen is hyper sensitive. I’m only really watching Disney plus on it or occasionally using it for Lemmy or mastodon.

I was thinking about getting a google pixel used for this purpose and putting GrapheneOS on there. I don’t want to spend a lot though. So, how far back would you go? Is a 4a going to be too old and run down?

Well, I have an old Oppo f7 that I’ve been using as a secondary phone. But my main phone is an iPhone.

Sadly there are not alternative operating systems for either phone.

Thanks for the heads up🙏🙏

I’m really interested in android, but all the google services are kind of a turn off. I only really use YouTube, but not even the official way.

Thanks for this link. All my US banks are on there. Although it’s not really a bank, but PayPal is not listed. Does anyone have experience with this or with banks in the Philippines?

Thanks!!

I’m sorry, I’m also not getting this. My understanding is that they cannot block the sites. But it looks like are doing it. I find it a little confusing.

I’m all for letting servers choose what they want to ban and allow. Its easy enough to just create a new account on a different server if you do not agree with the server admins decisions.

That’s the beauty of federation. The user can also setup his own instance to access the content if he wishes. He might have to learn how to do it, but its totally doable.

Linux is just all around snappier for me than windows is. I never have to wait, but on windows there are always delays opening windows and for some reason it will keep trying to generate thumbnails.

I really hate using windows. I’m a worse worker because of it. I’m just waiting for the m3 Macs to switch.

Sadly, my work stuff does not work on Linux. So I have a second computer for most of my work.

Yeah I figured I’d just the the absolute minimum for both countries.

Going based off minimum wage of the country I’m in compared to the us minimum wage of $7.25, it’s like charging $60 for the game.

These numbers are estimates, but it kinda shares an idea of pricing. I’m not sure if the us is still 7.25 though.

Good point! I’d be to scared to buy one as it might be an undercover op 😂😂

Plus it’s too easy to get online for free anyway.

That’s fair.

In the last 10 years, I stopped in this gas station off a busy road in my home town. They have bootleg dvds just on the counter.

I can’t believe that place didn’t get shutdown. There is a police station just a few blocks away.

Samsung is doing it with Dex. I don’t think MacOS and iOS are that different anymore. I’m not saying there isn’t work to do, but it’s far from being outside of Apples ability.

Thanks! I didn’t think YouTube expected anyone to be excited by this new feature 😂😂
