The wonders of a device that doesnt support graphene os. Must suck

As a graphene user

You still have to fork out a grand or more to google more or less directly

I spent just over $100 on a second hand one.

Same, but I spent $350 or so on the latest model. I suppose I'm giving Google some money indirectly, but I'm also probably reducing ewaste, so I think it balances out.

There's zero need to buy the newest and fanciest phone unless you just want to brag about it; my Pixel 6 Pro cost me $200 refurbished and does everything you could ask for.

Still money in Google's pocket

[-] LostXOR@fedia.io 9 points 5 days ago

No, Google was paid once by the original owner. The money I paid went to the third party refurbishment company.

They would be sold to others

In your currency sure

I mean, getting that going was only mildly less involved to do. You still need to dick around with the bootloader and such.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
