I installed GrapheneOS on my Pixel 4a after Google deleted the battery life[0], and while the initial move was frustrating with things not working, I've adapted and have a nice feeling of security while using my device again. It feels like it's mine, and I don't have to worry about who will spy on me or rug-pull me next.

Such a bizarre phenomenon to me that people are still griping about a software update that stops a 4-year-old battery from detonating when the same company will also fix the phone for free or just hand you $50 if you prefer that.

I just bought a replacement battery from ifixit and replaced it myself as the original battery was worn out only to now suddenly have garbage battery life on a brand new battery for no good reason.

I doubt that they'll give me any sort of money or do repairs on a phone that I opened up.

It's frustrating as I thought I would be able to get several more years of life out of this phone.
