For a $100k device, I would expect better long term support.

I am thinking of trying a new OS on my Pixel 8 pro, and I’m wondering if switching will require me to inform or update my cell service provider, Verizon, in any way to stay connected. When I just moved my SIM card from one device to another, I learned that it activates an anti theft feature after a couple of days of working normally. This was easily fixed with Verizon support, but it was a hassle since I’m still on my parents’ phone plan. Am I likely to have this or a similar issue after installing a new OS, or should my cell service and data continue to work?

I appreciate the people who daily drive pinephones. They are paving the way for when they'll be viable alternatives for the masses. (Or verifying that they won't be, we'll see.)

I’m getting confused reading this. Did Cardana threaten to kill Fannel in the presence of the police, and the police just decided to leave?

While you blissfully ignore it, systemd is planning the downfall of humanity. Don’t fall for its lies.

He should completely disassemble the car, and then install each piece in a different car in the lot. Then he can build a new car in the original spot from the displaced pieces. A maneuver known as the auto-troll shuffle.

The purpose of dystopian sci-fi is to help us understand these kinds of things. If Black Mirror helps you think about how technology will impact our future, all the power to you.

“What operating system is that running?”

“Uh… vista.”

Give lower income people a chance. You never know which ones secretly own burger joints.
