I'm still using an iPhone XS. I think next year it'll probably stop getting updates and it's super banged up and nearly dies before I get to bed most days.

My plan is to switch to a Pixel and put Graphene OS on it.

Has Bitcoin changed the way you purchase phones, or tech in general?

It's made me more privacy conscious. It's also made me more conscious of disk space - I like to make sure I have enough space on devices to run a full node if I get the itch to.

Is AI useful for you?

I find it occasionally awesome and frustrating, and in a goldilocks ratio, meaning it's early and going to be a really big deal sooner rather than later. I haven't really tried to "get into" AI, yet I'm using AI all the time.

I really like the graphene Pixel experience. Have you tried actually using it yet? The privacy element is huge once I got into BItcoin.

Interesting, I never thought about this factor before. I have lots of space but its all used up with music, movies and shows, i really "need".... I don't need them at all. It's a comfort thing I guess.

Thanks for the comment.
