Tell me more about the phone! This has taken so long and I am ready to migrate to an open phone even if it's only for texting at this point.
Screw this OS monopoly by Apple and Alphabet.
Open to simple solutions here. I have a Pixel 4a 5g and iPhone 15 Pro* atm.
What's keeping me from doing this is that i won't be able to run my banking apps anymore then. And I can't be arsed to carry two phones
Perhaps there's this magic app called a "web-browser" I could introduce you to...
Huh, they still work for all my banks here in the US. Not sure how you're supposed to access your bank account on your PC otherwise. Some banks you'll have to use the "use Desktop version of the site" option in a mobile browser to get it to work, but it will still work.
ah, two factor authentication is the issue then?
Huh, we still almost always have SMS as a validation method for 2FA here, so any SMS to web method works.
Damn, that actually sucks.
Especially when virtualization options are expensive/unavailable on mobile CPUs.
Well it might not even be a phone, maybe it's only a software project that needs to partner with manufacturers that would include it in their phones. The article doesn't really mention much.
Either way, I'm starting to get excited.
