Big plus, GOS comes with zero bloatware and Google Services is completely optional.

QOL? I don’t care about the clock font. Can you set individual internet access for apps on a pixel android? GOS has many other features that pixel android doesn’t.

Look and feelwise it is basically stock android but with extra privacy and security features added. You can go completely google free or install their services in a sanbox with no special privileges. What are you using right now? And what is your goal?

I would block the internet connection in your firewall settings so you won’t get an upgrade if that is a bug.

Played both Subnautica and Below Zero this year and absolutely loved it, what a fantastic game!

This happens to me too when I watch to many videos of the same kind. Restarting my router solves it.

Private phone with GrapheneOS and an iPad with banking apps etc. works well for me.

Just like their automated, unencrypted chat backup that stores all unencrypted data to your google account.

THPS 3+4. Fun game and it hits the nostalgia. I just wonder if this game got way easier or if I was just a noob back then. THPS3 was one of my first games and I remember playing it a lot. I just finished THPS3 (remake) in two sesions.

Desperados 3, almost finished the base game and I am still struggling, it is hard but fun.
