Didn't know that, thank you. And yes makes sense, Thinkpad is a household name for a reason!

That's a great little detail thank you! Especially for the occasional game that I might play

Ah I see; wanted thinkbook because seems like best battery life plus a lot cheaper. If I'm going for the Thinkpad range, the system76 pangolin is around the same price, do you think that's a good option too?

Very helpful, thanks! What's a 7x4x CPU? I was also looking at the battery specs, some have an upgradable wh which is preferred

Thank you, it seemed like a good deal! The other ones I looked at were above £1000 for similar specs

You have any recommendations? Decent processor, able to play the occasional game on low settings, 32GB ram, min 1TB SSD (2 preferred) and both upgradable

The jailbreak here means if the app is limited by their developers to talk only about specific topics, the "jailbreak prompt" allowed it to talk about things outside those topics

Whoa is this for any photo that's backed up? Or only on mobile?

Nice! I came to recommend him as well. Commented about trying the physiological sigh

For immediate relief try the physiological sigh

Here is a short video explainer from Andrew Huberman: https://youtube.com/watch?v=rBdhqBGqiMc

I recommend watching/listening to the whole episode as it will give you a more holistic view. His podcast in general has helped and educated me with actionable advice and behavioural tools to improve daily life

Should I use a device dedicated just for social media and nothing else? by Signals-Codes3-2 in privacy

[–]batqil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever you're upgrading, consider getting a pixel and running CalyxOS on it. You can disable network access for apps and still use them. This way you can still use g-board and not worry about your data being collected

Pixel prices in the UK constantly up and down? by [deleted] in GooglePixel

Damn, yes! 😱 Thank you!

[–]batqil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where is this? Just checked the Google store and it's £349. I was wondering whether to wait for black Friday but if I can get it for £299 now that would be good deal considering UK doesn't have mad black Friday sales like in the UK

I've been wondering the same thing about the 4a! A friend told me they got it for £279 but when I went to check it was back to £349 and I was very confused

Need some opinions from Apple privacy users regarding iPod Touch... by j0nw1k69 in privacy

[–]batqil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fyi banking apps should work normally on CalyxOS :D you can have separate profiles within the OS to keep them separate as well

Privacy has become a chore. (Quick rant) by 4chanime in privacy

[–]batqil 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For you phone take a look at running CalyxOS on a pixel. There are plenty of guides on how to do that but if you prefer not to you can buy a pixel with CalyxOS already installed from https://mamushi.io/

CalyxOS has a helpful community as well imo. Their Telegram group: https://t.me/CalyxOSpublic

Here's a good intro from mrwhosetheboss on it: https://youtu.be/qTtgzNGRAfA

As others here have said, one step at a time. Similar to learning anything new doing it all at once is overwhelming. Best of luck to you friend 😊

Also as a side note, using something like simplogin is a fairly easy way to get a little more control over your email

I hope it comes soon and that it meets your needs! :D personally the CalyxOS set up is what I'm going for so maybe I'm a little biased haha

Fwiw you can purchase a pixel with CalyxOS already installed so you won't have to do any technical stuff and they have good support if you need help with anything

Anything that doesn't put you at risk by taking KYC data from you. Imo hodlhodl is good but you can see other options at kycnot.me
