I will bet a lot of the listings you are looking at really are OEM unlocked, they are just not clear about it. I bought a refurbished pixel 7 pro on Amazon in 2023 for $234. The listing just says “service provider: unlocked”. I installed graphene on it.

That said, I see a subsequent review on this listing commissioning that the received phone was not carrier unlocked, so I guess you have to be prepared for some trial and error and returns.

I would broaden your eBay search to just “unlocked” and then maybe message sellers to verify the kind of unlocked state.

It blows Breezy away.

That’s pretty syc!

Like an AI’s idea of what a font looks like.

Just put lots of hot sauce in your pancakes. Duh! Problem solved!

Does it count if you bust it out ex post facto?

Get rid of any cardboard boxes. They will nest in the crevices in the corrugation. Move anything stored in cardboard boxes to plastic bins or such.

“So you’re absolutely sure, there’s not, like a drug cartel or something, trying to get this back?”

I really hate to accept that exposing assy words and behavior just makes it worst, but it’s hard to argue with that example.

The way the internet enables awful outliers to find each other and organize really makes one question whether it was ever a good idea.

“Simply it leaving as”?

Because it seems like a stupid idea on a surface? (Not to imply it’s not a stupid idea on other levels too, but crypto and AI are not ridiculous in the surface)

When a person’s words makes then look like an ass, I’m not sure that giving them more exposure is “promoting” them.

A license to be a thug is worth more than money to some people.

“There is no honor among thieves.”

“I can haz your face?”

I used to work with a guy from Kentucky and he used to say “there’s nothing worse than an Illinois Yankee.” (I should emphasize I have nothing against Illinois, I just thought it was funny and an interesting counterpoint to your comment. BTW: am a Yankee.)

Also, I work with a guy from rural Pennsylvania, and he sometimes describes it as Pennsyltucky.

The question is what does OP mean by 'heavy’and what benefit do they hope to get from a ‘lighter’ shell. Memory or performance seems inconsequential in this case, but how about attack surface? Is there some benefit from a security standpoint of running a simpler shell?

FWIW my favorite game in it is Imperial Trump Yukon. I can win about 1 in 3 games, but have to work for it.

Heh. I’m glad my completely wrong suggestion was able to help. :^)

It rings a bell… I want to say 60’s maybe something psychodelic, maybe a clapton band…
