same i dont even mind if the screen is shit, kust give me dual physical sim + esim and a big battery.

i want a car with zero touchscreen. Heck, even no reverse camera - older folks have been driving just fine for years with just the side and rear mirrors. 3 pedals.

csrrying 2 phones is the way to go imho. One for these stupid apps and the other for your personal data. So its like the work / personal phone setup but instead we have private / non -private phone.

what is a “usage” btw? They said 1 cent = 1 usage.

So 1 message sent to Copilot? Or usage = number of response Copilot gives back to the user?

Sorry my hands are busy

`C - x 2’

C -x C-f ~/.emacs.d/init.el

C-x C-s

np, and also not sure if you have to use bank apps to do transfer everyday but you can try to use 2 phones. Thats what i did until i make sure the bank apps work well.

Also look up profiles in GrapheneOS too. I have a dedicates profile for Banks apps only with different password and fingerprints.

For authenticator, do NOT use Authy

ffs microsoft. At this point i might as well just go back to: notepad++ and a terminal on Windows, or gedit and a terminal on linux. Emacs is great but i spent more time writing elisp rather than working…

tbh the only thing that keeps people from jumping to a full deGoogle phone or an open source Linux phone is app. More specifically, IM and chat apps.

Social media and all those entertainment like Youtube, we can access via a good web browser. But those IM apps? Very hard because you can try to use an alternative, but people around you dont.

which 2fa do you use for work? microsoft? authy?

Authy doesnt work so I am transferring all to Keepass Not sure about microsoft though

“AI Credit”

fuck !!!

lots of people recommend bitwarden, but i am more at peace with an offline password manager that i control like Keepass. You can also go the GNU route and use “pass” on Linux too

Or use a physical key like Yubikey to login

i think the good alternative is to get a really fast drive and hibernate everytime you close the lid. Sure it’s slower to resume but with ssd that shouldnt be an issue. Or if Framework has 2 drives we can suspend the image to that 2nd drive then use the main drive to boot up off of it.

I was loaned a Macbook at my previous workplace. Didnt really use it much because my work apps do not work on Mac. So it sat on the shelves until the day I left the company (too much toxicity). I only used it once or twice when doing presentations. Anyway, that thing suspened pretty much 10/10. The standby power save is better too: i closed the lid on Sunday night and next Sunday, when open up the lid the battery was at 95%.

good battery life is nice, but does Linux’s bibernation or suspend work reliably on this? Asking because coming from Lenovo, the power performance is not a problem but it is the power management. Unless I am on a Window version specifically for that Lenovo laptop or I am on a Mac, there is always that 10% chance the laptop will fail to suspend properly.

or any stock launchers will do. Nowadays the stocks are more than enough for me. On GOS, I tried Lawnchair but always go back to the default one.

damn i remember the good old days with Nova where everything was so smooth. Evie launcher too. And even we have many problems with them, Microsoft launcher was good in the beginning.

Using parental control is too hard so leave it to the government huh

what a fucking joke

if only more people move away from Google shit. The problem is always about the sheer number of apps Google has. I can switch no problem, but convincing my relatives or even a company to switch? Thats tough.
