Fuck Google!

Gives Google $900

Eh, I got a used Pixel 8 for $350 or so, and it works great with GrapheneOS.

My gold standard is a proper Linux phone, but those aren't reliable enough yet, so using Google's phone is the next best option.

I spent a mere $500 for my Pixel 9a. Most expensive phone I've ever owned. But at least I can send a text message from inside my house and make phones from out in my yard now.
