Hmm... phones.

.

Trying to sort things.  And... there might be a way.  Will be looking over things, when I go in to check on a different phone.  On the short, there isn't as many options.  Money, after last month, is tight.  But it was just payday.  So... some options, but still some limits.

Rather than go really low, I may go a bit higher level, say a pixel 6a, 6, or such.  But, rather than going stock android os, go with grapheneos.  Oh... not sure how much difference it would honestly make.  But, possibly, some.  And, the phone is modern, and offers better security updates, and for the next four to five years.  Where as lessor phones probably have no security, mostly, of which to speak.

Other things, apps, would be used, as well.  Just... if nothing else, to make an attempt to annoy them as much as they annoy me.  That's not the whole idea, just a bonus.

Basically, I want a phone to call and text.  As well as some internet and email access.  Though maps would be good, if I'll be backing away from the easy ones, and spending money on it.

Look, if you decide that "Don't be evil." isn't a fit, anymore?  Expect people to notice, and back away from you.  Go ahead.  You'll pay the price.
