You are remarkably consistent in your recommendations Jerv!

I don’t know how it happened but somehow now I have two TS10s on the way… I must have blacked out or something.

Also I’ve been lusting after that emmisar D2. That’s on my list.

I also live in rural Canada and I’m part of search and rescue so I understand the use case for SMS, if you’ve only got a feature phone and SMS is the only way to communicate, so be it. That said, messengers like Signal and iMessage are still strictly better from a security standpoint and for day to day usage for most people. It has nothing to do with tribalism.

I have an iPhone… For me if I see the green bubbles that means that the messages are SMS which is insecure and antiquated. I use iMessage and Signal because they are more secure and allow for sending rich media like photos and videos without worrying about MMS and SMS. I have massive amounts of data, why the heck would I use SMS to send messages? It has nothing to do with hating Android, it’s more to do with SMS being hot garbage.

I’ll certainly be staying. I like it here so far!
