I primarily switched (to Kvaesitso) because I don’t use Google search and it was impossible to remove the Google search bar from my home screen on a Pixel. I do enjoy the greater degree of customization as well.

Who? What did they say?

Refurbished generally means it actually goes through a further round of QC than “new” hardware. And it’s usually only “used” because someone bought it and returned it because there was something wrong, which was then fixed by the refurbishing process.

What’s your source or inspiration for thinking this way? Are you suggesting that companies are labeling new, or possibly used-but-not-re-tested hardware as “refurbished” to drive sales? Because that’s not anything I’ve heard of.

I don’t understand lots of this sort of therapy-speak. Is the suggestion that everyone just loudly insists upon their every whim? Obviously there are extremes of this that cause people to silence and repress serious discomfort that ends up either coming out explosively or slowly eroding one’s sense of self-worth, but to some degree this is just living in a society, sweetheart.
