  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

It's absolutely crook, I love my pixel but I'm not quite ready to wipe all contents, lose NFC payments and some application functionality.

Most of what I do with my phone only requires internet access, and a portable 5g modem is somewhat easy to come by. I don't play gamesor use many apps (home assistant, Lemmy, grayjay and a web browser) so for the most part I feel losing calls (or finding a workaround) won't be the worst thing that's happened.

x86 handheld consoles are becoming more popular, wonder how far that tech can be pushed before we have a phablet / phone sized device. Actually... Didn't Intel have some CPUs ages ago in phones that were x86?

I guess for me moving away from a pocket device and having a small Bluetooth handset tethered to something like a tablet / laptop would be a reasonable compromise.
