Buy a second hand or refurb pixel. That's what I did. Google already got paid, sure, but you don't give them anything more. It's not perfect, but it's an economical solution that doesn't break the bank and still gets you security. At this point, if you don't want big tech, may I suggest two tin cans and a string? if you do that, at least Del Monte doesn't get the recycling deposit back on their empty green bean receptacles.

    He's predicted around sixteen market crashes so far by my count. The dude got lucky once and has been riding the fame ever since. I'm not necessarily disagreeing that this whole thing will crash, but timing is the important part and he keeps missing it. I'll not be making any financial decisions on his recommended timeline anytime soon. He may as well be Dave Ramsay imo.

    Same. Im at the point fortunately where by pocketbook can still stretch farther than my ability to deal with this bullshittery. I will live. But I'm pissed about it. And my heart goes out to those that can't. I don't have a solution but I hope we fix it soon.

    There was. It's almost a permanent notam around that area. Everyone in the area is familiar with the possibility of an outage, but the time it happens is unpredictable. Just because a notam is in effect doesnt mean the jamming is occuring. Just that it could be. It's an area I personally refuse to fly without vfr conditions. And I never fly it at night.

    This crash was pilot error. There's little doubt. But there were needless factors on behalf of the system that helped create this problem that were not the pilots fault.

    Will this play into the chrome spinoffs like brave? I know the opinions of brave are strong here, and I don't care. I can change settings to eliminate their bullshit. i have to admit that the add blocking in brave is pretty damn good and is a big reason I have stuck with them.
