    • In Seeking Advice with Repairing a Pixel Device

      It's important to note that warranty coverage can vary depending on the shop or repair center you purchased your device from. I recommend reaching out to them directly or checking their website for specific information on warranty coverage for devices running alternative operating systems like GrapheneOS.

      As for the repair process, communicate with the repair center about your operating system and ask about their experience in handling repairs on devices with alternative operating systems.

      Before sending your device in, I recommend you to back up your data, and remove any personal or sensitive information, and securely package your device. For accurate information and guidance, contact the shop or repair center where you purchased your device.

    • In Advertisements being scarily accurate

      thompson It's understandable that you're curious and concerned about the targeted ads you've been experiencing on platforms like Instagram. While some of it can be attributed to the human brain's pattern-seeking tendencies, it is indeed surprising when ads appear for things you haven't mentioned or bought before. Companies like Meta/Facebook employ sophisticated algorithms to collect and analyze user data from various sources, including your online activities, purchases, and even conversations. While the exact extent of data collection and sources can be unclear, it's possible that data from grocery stores or other sources could be utilized for targeted advertising.

      Your decision to explore GrapheneOS as an alternative is driven by this unease, and it's a valid choice to prioritize your privacy and data security. By using a privacy-focused operating system like GrapheneOS, you can have more control over your personal information and reduce the likelihood of targeted ads based on extensive data from the device.
