If you’re not willing to give up certain tools, then this is probably not the phone for you. If you’re trying to replicate another system you will be disappointed. If you were to s…

They're working on a browser, so yes... I believe PWA will be possible since they're just rebranded HTML+JS apps.

I've preordered and have no doubts in my mind that it'll be pushed back to Q4 or Q1/Q2 2020. I'm not really concerned about it releasing I think if they don't release it will be de…

Ah good to know. I assumed they were lined with lead and/or tinfoil

Someone could wrap a phone in tinfoil pretty quickly or have one ready-made in the shape of a pouch. Or start carrying a special pouch that stops signals.[0] Either way once you re…

Any press is good press...

How I actually avoided spell-check before publishing a post

> Stop trying to make strategic decision making into an illegal or unethical thing. That's absurd. What? Could you please explain this and point out when it happened?

Specifically why I left morality out of it. If one brings morals into it, you end up using phrases like “it’s not personal, it’s business” to justify morals or disregard responsibi…
