thanks for addressing my questions.

i really appreciate this context.

thanks for this. i have some terminology to look up, but this looks very helpful!

sorry, yeah, that makes sense. that does sound like a nice feature.

sorry what is the torch you’re referring to?

thanks! this is sounding like a workable solution.

i love the mission. if i have to carry a phone to exist i’d rather buy one more and fix it forever. and as i mentioned, i don’t really want to patronize google just to have a degoogled experience. thanks for the info, strongly leaning that way.

yeah, like i said i’m a layperson when it comes to tech. i kinda thought that degoogling was some sort of faustian deal where i had to buy the hardware to get away from the software. sounds like that’s not the case. i’d love to have a phone i could repair and not give google any more cash.

edit: additional question… is calyx pretty easy to set up on it?

not sure it was a solid decade, but it’s been a while. my first pixel was a 4a. anyway, just hearing about it from tech privacy influencers i was following. i’ve not followed any of the drama, but if it’s bad all the more reason to switch.

based on my understanding, they created a 3-d model out of a 2-d model and claimed they had built the thing (fusion reactor?) being modeled.
