Hopefully he takes Liquid Ass with him.
 
So I picked up my S24 Ultra yesterday to keep it up to date. It downloaded apps and updates fine. Today it doesn't fucking work. I have tried everything short of factory reset the phone. Apps from Galaxy Store download just fine though, so who the fuck knows.

This has never happened to me ever lmao

I still use my super old oneplus phone to have the gym app on, so that me and partner can use it and go at different times. I do wonder if I will go over something different for my next phone, dont want to go for android since well google is way more evil than apple, but by the time I need to get a new phone I hope there will be more open OSes and phones that use them

There’s always Huawei. Not sure if they’re banned in Europe though.
 
I’d love for there to be a viable alternative to Android and iOS. Alas.

That said, I’m at a point now where I can almost switch OS at will and not have switching costs.

The main sticking point for me right now is the office suite. But Proton is quickly making that a non-issue.

I do see myself alternating Android / iOS every other day. I'm trying to break out of the ecosystem, because I dislike the feeling that I'll be greatly inconvenienced if I stop consuming from a specific brand.

The screen on my Mac flickers from time to time, as if the backlight was rapidly shifting and I don't know what that might be.

That's my main take away from that person's story. 30k worth equipment bricked because of one account. That's fucking crazy. Imagine not being able to use your fucking headphones because an account got nuked.

All things considered, I will still prefer to use Apple than Android because fuck google. Only option for android phone is to use open OS or buy open phone from the start but havent looked into that much since I hopefully dont need a new phone in a few years.

I think using the base of whatever brand you choose is fine, but has to stop setting all the eggs in one basket.

Like, I cannot imagine being locked out of accounts if one were to lose access the the Passwords 2FA iOS thingy.
