Seconding the motorola suggestion, but hold a little longer until the GrapheneOS compatable models drop.

So… I have thoughts on this, there is a reason the heyday of formal dueling went away.
-
The concept that ones honor was an intangable part of ones person is not as guarded as it was in the 1790s.

We know how to make not shit guns.
The point of the formal duel was to stand your ground against the risk of being hurt, not to purpously maim your opponent. This only worked because smooth bore pistols could be weilded by the common man, and they were unlikely to hit the other person (even if you were practiced). The other part was having your second negotiate with the other party on your behalf and waiting a full day at a minimum before any actions were taken (other than making arrangments for arms, a venue and hopefully a doctor).
This whole process would simply not work in [current year] because none of the societal factors are in place. People would not patiently wait 24 hours before taking action, honor is not ascribed to be part of ones person these days, and guns work… they shoot where you point them (so skill is a much bigger factor now than luck, which defeats the purpous).
I so wish as a society we had a conflict resolver that fit a similar role, but thats pure fantasy.

And I also know that there are many train/aviation/weapons enthusiasts in the gaming world who could do that shit for a living.
How many days has it been since a classified breach happened on the WarThunder forums?

This
My dream phone is made by Fairphone, runs Graphene and has pin-board power switches like the Pinephone (its got good ideas, but its running a 2013 chipset, its a dev device for making linux mobile work better)
… Wishful thinking.

Wireless charging requires induction coils, they either need to include them in a custom battery pack (which goes against their philosophy for how they source parts) or to include it in back plate which would also complicate a simple component. You can just get a protective case with the induction coils in it, it would make the device a bit taller for the extra usb-c plug.
Ive been rocking an EU FP4 in the states for years now (had a UK distributer just ship me one) so im biased, but try not to be overly negitive over a problem you can fix yourself.
Correct. But I hope that motorola makes a second one. So ill be shouting from the rooftops for people to get their soon to be legally problematic computing equipment sooner rather than later.
