   There are no good options when it comes to choosing your tech these days.

     @NebulaTide There is a big exception to that for me personally, and for a few others I support. I and they currently use medical devices that offer monitoring through smart phone apps. Those (of the folks I support) only work on iOS or Android. That's on the app makers certainly, but we all know that's not there with any mainstream momentum.

     Also, two financial apps I use won't work with GrapheneOS and others I've looked into.

     @WarnerCrocker At least you can choose a Google Pixel and install GrapheneOS on it. Then you have a modern and technologically secure Smartphone with a secure and privacy oriented OS. Currently this seems to be the best choice.

     @WarnerCrocker for the time being you can remove Google from their own Pixel phones by installing #lineageOS or #GrapheneOS or #CalyxOS

     @cetan @NebulaTide No worries. One followed another very quickly

     @WarnerCrocker That really is the state of things. It's pretty irritating.
