Thank you! I edited the original post. I’m running Lineage OS now!
Duuuuude… They couldn’t just take that extra step and broadcast the location? It would make both types of trackers far more useful
Aren’t the Apple and Android networks supposed to be working together? I thought that’s why Google delayed this, because anyone could be tracked without knowing by a tracker on the other network.
I can’t wait for Proton to ship Drive for Linux just so we can get a different complaint as the top comment on every Proton thread
Then why doesn’t Apple open up anything else? Think I want to buy a Apple Watch and connect it to my Android?
Huh, that’s weird. Are certain features behind a pay wall? I definitely don’t have a paid subscription and I’m using it right now to organize a trip. I use it like less than once a year for the last 5 years or so.
I assumed their business model was using their in-app money transfer feature and like taking a cut or hoping people forget to cash out or something. But you don’t even need to do that, you can sync Venmo or even mark transactions as paid in cash
Edit Oh, I see. I don’t think it’s required
I use splitwise with my friends but I did zero research and just joined because they did. It works well and is super flexible when it comes to splitting expenses. I doubt it’s Foss.

This sounds cool
It literally just Googles the number and lets you figure it out by scrolling through the results. This technology is indistinguishable from magic.
I’ll believe it when I hear it from Apple
Excellent info. My wife like to hang on to her phones as long as possible. I think you just made the decision for her
That’s a pain in the ass. Especially because they’ll have to mail it, she’ll have to set it up, then if she decides she doesn’t want it, format it and Mail it back and then go buy another one. Isn’t there an easier way to just hold one for a couple of minutes?
You could try talking to your phone company about it. My wife had a problem where someone was spoofing her number to make the spam calls. So she’d get call backs from old ladies asking her who she is and what she wanted. But T-mobile shut down her number for like 24 hours, which was inconvenient for a day, but when it came back on the problem was resolved.
Of course! I can check my email on my phone. It’s not a huge deal, just a slight inconvenience.
It was fine until a few weeks ago. We moved into a new building and something with the network changed. Concurrently we also have to connect via the VPN a different way than we used to. With all of those changes Proton went from not blocked to blocked.
The network blocks Proton.me at the top level. You think they’re going to allow a VPN?
When I work from home, I can just not connect to the VPN and it’s fine. When I’m on site there’s no way around it
I work for the US government and Proton is blocked at the network level, so I can’t check my personal email at work. In that sense, the US has already “banned” it. In what other way could a government “ban” an email provider?
Also, you don’t even need a platform at all. Just a phone and a phone number.
That doesn’t mean it has to. Let me introduce you to dozens of other Google projects.
