Last I checked offline hours didn't count either, yeah. I'm not sure if anything is supposed to have changed in the meantime, as it's been a while.

Oof that's scary. Good thing I have a decent enough return window to at least make sure stuff like that isn't the case, at least.
Great points, I'll definitely keep an eye on the 10! Should fit in nicely within the time I'll be due an upgrade, give or take.
Ah, that's a nice way to go about it! I'd have loved to inspect mine beforehand as well but the only real way to grab one around here is importing yourself and paying 60%+ import fees on the damn thing or purchasing a preowned one. My living in a remote area also means there are none close by.
Perhaps consider DivestOS as well if it's supported, seems to be a way tidier package when it comes to security and privacy.
Thanks for the tips, I'm a happy Aegis user already! Thankfully, my main bank explicitly doesn't care about custom roms and I'm thinking I'll just cut ties with the ones who do and let them know that was the reason at this point. Worst case scenario, I still have my locked down old phone.
Honestly, I don't really need my phone for much so as long as the battery hasn't degraded too much I'll be more than happy!
I'm in an unsupported region so I'm afraid I can't help much :(
In my case I just looked around a local eBay-like site and went with a reputable enough seller, fairly standard procedure there.
Right, I'd love to spring up for a 8th gen pixel but I live in an unsupported region and my currency is worth fuck all so I'll have to make do with a secondhand 7 pro lol. Still fantastic longevity all things considered.
Wow, I legit just ordered a used pixel yesterday to give graphene a try lol. Uncanny timing!
Anyhow, that's great news! I can really see the EU sinking its teeth into this if nothing else.
The only way I see myself ever giving it another go is if I manage to get into my NixOS setup for easy replication or something, too much manual tweaking otherwise.
The compromise I arrived at after I migrated to Linux was booting windows off a VHD file on a USB SSD when I really need it. That way I get a portable, fully performant install without it wasting any disk space or messing with my partitions.
FWIW Proton does offer a mail only plan that's $5/month, 4 if you go for yearly
