This is terrifying, but I suppose it explains the primary results as people seem to have given credence to these terrible political ads and mailers. Which was a shame, because here in Wyoming our population numbers are low enough for…
This is unfortunate news on the GrapheneOS support for Motorola phones. So I guess I’ll be sticking with my LineageOS Moto G 5G phone for a long time. The private Android-based OS will expand beyond Pixels next year. By…
