My LG C3 not connected to internet and using an HTPC and Nvidia shield is working great so far.

I’m gonna reserve a green one in 3 weeks before the price goes up, I want a smaller sleeker phone with a keyboard. I don’t use Instagram or YouTube or anything much on my current phone that’s going to stop receiving updates soon.

They have other hardware they’ve built and shipped for years, just a keyboard case not an entire phone but that seems to be positively received

I think I’m going to preorder the phone next month. Seems a great idea and main phone to use while my nothing phone2 slows down. I don’t watch many videos on mobile so this more distraction free device seems a great idea.

People have been protesting across NC all year and last year, thanks for showing your ignorance.

I’ll be sure to let everyone know at the next game night.

Unfortunately NC is mostly blue/purple but gerrymandered to hell and has establishment repubs who won’t relinquish control of anything to let anything new happen. The GOP legislature over the last several years passed bills and regulations stripping the governor of power because they knew they were going to lose that seat. Many more congressional seats will be flipping blue next year.

It’s not only a carrier issue but it is an issue only with Samsung’s bought through carriers. Samsung obviously allows that or subsidizes them somehow. AFAIK with Samsung and carrier branded devices they have their own update schedules as well that is separate than just updates from Samsung.

Did you get the phone from a carrier? I’ve had 2 Samsung’s both bought unlocked from samsung and those come with no bloatware and for years I never had anything like that happen. My wife has an S23 from TMobile and has lots of unremovable apps and bloat.

Yet conservatives get mad about Kirk jokes and wonder why they get kicked off platforms.

I’m typing this from a Nothing Phone 2 I got about a year and a half go and I love it. Still gets monthly updates, stills runs fast and is updated to A15. Battery is starting to slip but as long as I’m around 40-50% charge before a trio or going out that’s more than enough. Really like the nothingOS customizability, reminds me of the OG oneplus phones but not what they are currently.

Asus would be nice, I’ve liked most of the zenphones but either didn’t support my carrier/bands or something like that or they stopped allowing bootloader unlocking which is why I didn’t think they’d be on the list but this would be a great way to jump back in as an option for enthusiasts.

Also would love for it to be RAZR, I really want one but also want GrapheneOS but hesitant to buy a pixel.

Both options were supporting a genocide-er unless I missed the news that Trump stopped it like he promised

Still running and loving my nothing phone 2 but not going to upgrade to this. they missed the feature set and price point I was looking for. Probably going to go pixel and GrapheneOS next

Them missing out on a dozen sales because of that isn’t going to change their ways either.

Is this only an AA wireless issue? I thought AA just won’t start with a VPN running on the system at all. I use wireless and have a couple VPN profiles and it always shows this any time I leave it on, I think it’s AA system functionality to prevent spoofing location or GPS or whatever.

maybe I missed something but who has 5 messenger apps installed??

Where do you usually go to find the DRM free books? Sometimes for new books I am unable to purchase a copy without any sort of DRM

Good to know it now becomes a good thing since the US is getting something out of it, great line in the sand.

There’s a way of dealing with insurance company CEOs who aren’t good people don’t worry
