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 was never even notified for my 4a and when I try to check it's eligibility it simply says my pixel 4a "is not eligible for a repair, cash payment, or discount." without any additional information.

Does this mean my pixel 4a battery was unaffected for some reason... or simply that the lawyers managed to weasel out of paying 100% of active pixel 4a owners back and my phone is still dangerous or degraded? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
