You're not going to like the pinephone, it just isn't ready for you if you're asking for notifications on your PC.

The calls are okay AT BEST. SMS/MMS have come a long way and should be okay. Battery life is MAYBE a day, if you're lucky. Anything beyond that is painful unless you want to spend hours getting it to work with your own code.

Someone has to be the first and I don't mind buying from a new account. The return process is uaully pretty good so I don't mind the "risk".

To get a rough idea in freedom units (imperial time), you just need to double it and add 16.

I've gotten 3 fucking tickets for doing ~10 over. So, I've decided that when I drive into Ottawa, I'm doing the speed limit. That's it. I don't care that people do 10% over and I'm holding up traffic.

There's a lot more cops watching the highway too. Doing 120 in a 100? You're good. 68 in a 60? Photo ticket.

Province would help.

All i know you can really do is lock up and submit a LTB claim. When asked tell them to submit the proper notice. Don't link them anything or fix their mistake, just keep notes and proof of everything

When I need a new car it'll be well researched and proven to be possible, or it will be a old 1990's car and I'll upgrade parts. I don't mind soldering, researching chips, removing any antennas, etc.

In any case, It's public knowledge so hopefully we get laws or something first to stop this shit.

Then again. My rate might go up because my car doesn't submit reports

I've seen articles of how the car maker will sell this to insurance and if you do anything wrong your rate will go up.

If I ever buy a new car you can bet I'll be doing research on how to rip that shit out. Won't even drive it home from the dealer without getting in there first.

While I agree, where should it stop?

Just by getting into new cars you agree to their TOS. Buying a new phone, using internet services/websites, etc. You almost can't breath without agreeing to one TOS or another. We need this shit to stop and local laws are the only way I see out of it.

There is a 55 unit apartment building and a 22 unit apartment building going up within 3KM of me. In our neighbourhood there's 5 houses for sale, one of which has sold in the last 4 months.

While I agree things are shitty, at least in my community apartments are being built. Price/cost is another story and I'd never live in a new build because its not rent controlled.

Good luck!

If you want to stay with whatever provider you have you can try openVPN over TCP or a SOCKS proxy over SSH (both TCP traffic). Anything TCP might be faster than WG

Yeah, that sounds about right to me. I'd look for a different provider if you're looking for speed. Like I said above, OVH was unusable to me so I went to hetzner.

Lookup "lowendbox" if you want something cheap. I used some Christmas or new year deal at racknerd that was alright.

You could also try a VPS from hetzner and see if its any better. Here's my speed test just now using WG on my cell, exit through Hetzner.
