Today’s tech is powerful — but it’s not personal

Big Tech or Big Brother? We've fallen out of love with Big Tech because our devices feel less like helpful tools and more like strangers in our homes.

The line between helpful tech and quiet surveillance is blurring — and our devices no longer feel fully under our control.

      I don’t carry a wallet, and card contactless is limited to like 50. Can’t even do the weekly shop.

      Android Auto for driving is difficult to get working, I see gOS can do it but I couldn’t get it to work.

        It’s been a while since I got mine set up and working, but IIRC all I had to do was install Android Auto from the preinstalled GrapheneOS App Store app

        I might just be old, but I can do that with my debit and credit cards without involving my phone, so I couldn’t care less.

          Lifestyle creep is real. I was like you before. Keep fighting the good fight and I will join you once Linux figures out NFC.

            Brother/Sister if that is the good fight, I seem to be missing my cape. Happy new year :)
