I think DRM on Kobo books is dependent on what the publisher requests or something like that. The few I have bought don’t have DRM from what I can tell.

I would love to set up mine again but I need to replace the battery and I’m not sure where to buy a new one. Any suggestions?

I don’t think you need a Google account to use Sandboxed Play Services in general. Maybe some specific things that require you to be logged into the Play Store but overall I can use Android Auto and other things I need without being logged in.

What did you find you needed to be logged in for?

I’ve been using GrapheneOS on my phones since the Pixel 3 and I have not had this issue when using Verizon. For the other person maybe it was a different carrier? Or some issue a while ago with that carrier and GrapheneOS.

And Nintendo Switch wasn’t availabley yet last I checked.

Yeah I saw the takahē in Zealandia and one other zoo. Would have been cool to see in the wild if possible in the preservation areas the have.

I too saw a kea in the wild near the Milford Sound! Sadly I didn’t see any of the others in the wild. The takahē was also in Zealandia.

Probably a Takahē in New Zealand but in captivity.

But out of curiosity what apps didn’t work for you that were deal breakers?

Works for me on Verizon and has for 5+ years. Google Fi even works as I’ve tried that with a different phone on GrapheneOS.

Alright that doesn’t sound that bad. I have a Mi Band 3 and haven’t upgraded to anything else due to the need to get a key with anything newer.

How was the Bangle JS2? What made you switch away from it?

I thought about using Amazfit products but all the new ones require Huami/Xiaomi server pairing. How was that process?

The problem I had with products like Airalo is that if you are traveling and need to actually call a hotel, excursion, or any company in the country you are visiting you cannot do that with just a data eSIM like Airalo.

Sure you could use WiFi calling maybe but in my experience when I really needed to call someone I had to switch back to my original carrier and incur the $10/day fee.

Sadly today the issue is back. Still unsure why this keeps happening.
