Disabling wireless when not in use

storage scope limitations for apps (random games don’t need full drive access)

fine control over USB-C port behavior (data and/or power while locked vs unlocked)

using passcode/password for device unlock while still being able to use fingerprint for individual apps.

I’m a bit undecided on it even with it in my hands. Not a fan of how cases have to be more or less glued onto the device, and that hinge is a major physical weak point (I’ve got a Ghostek case with hinge armor right now). So when I finish getting the device set up how I want and finally swap my sim over, I’ll need new adhesive (the sim card slot is not accessible with the case).

That said, the crease isn’t that bad. I anticipate being able to view manuals on the bigger screen to be very nice. The outer screen is apparently the same display panel as the pixel 9 pro, so it’s not an ultra narrow display like the samsungs.

It’s physically about the same size as my s22u, just slightly thicker

I just made the switch (from s22u to pixel 9 pro fold) over the weekend, the debloating and basic common sense security features are such a huge improvement.

Gonna give the whole “folding phone” thing a try for a while before I make any judgements on it, but im absolutely set on sticking with grapheneos.

Welcome to the US, we’re backwards like that.

WhatsApp ain’t much better to be fair (it’s Facebook owned, so it has “encryption”)

Can’t have a government without people to govern.

Or the 5 tenets of the dark brotherhood (elder scrolls)

I hear that, I’ve had to install some of this stuff, and sometimes my immediate response is “why are you even trying to put this software on a laptop? You’re going to kill that thing.” Gis, CAD, civil3d, Revit, etc, it’s brutal on hardware.

Oh? It’s not a bastardization of Skype for Business (which in turn was a bastardization of Lync) anymore?
