Thanks so much for sharing! You gave me some good info to start looking into. I appreciate your help! I was getting a little weary of Proton when they announced the AI nonsense and now the crypto wallet really seals the deal. Doesn't feel good knowing my money is going to develop buzzword features instead of fixing the existing issues in their current products.

    Do you mind expanding on this? I recently moved away from Gmail to Proton in an attempt to be more privacy conscious and don't really know of any alternatives. Even at a paid tier I only use Proton for their email services.

    I would say I'm generally tech savvy but new to the whole privacy space. What better alternatives are there?

    As someone who has previously worked in the wireless industry for nearly a decade this is unsurprising. I worked for one of the Big 3 at a third party retailer and saw all kinds of shady things. From aggressive sales tactics to hostile management and straight up fraud. I was constantly getting in trouble with upper management because I refused to "live in the shade," a term they used for committing knowingly unethical acts. The only reason I didn't get fired (despite numerous threats) was because my sales numbers were always up to par. Turns out treating people with respect and keeping to your ethics was an equally effective way of hitting consistent numbers.

    This looks super interesting! I've been looking for a simple "cyberdeck" build for awhile now. I think this one might be it. It looks like there's quite a bit of room in the chassis, I wonder if you can fit a full Raspberry Pi in there with minimal tweaking.

    You need to make sure your phone is very still before it appears. I usually will lay mine on a table or the top of a car and then tilt my head underneath it until it appears and when it does gently hit the button. I've gotten some pretty cool results from it like shooting stars and even the Milky Way.

    I really want to like stract but I can't get it to give me good results. I typically search for programming related things and it has difficulty pulling up relevant information regarding things like documentation and posts regarding the issue.

    Huh, TIL. I had no idea that was an option but that's super useful for things I need to type in on a device with no keyboard, or even things I can't access my password manager for. Thanks for the protip there!
