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.
To clarify, if you only have SMS, that's fine I don't care and it doesn't affect our relationship, but given the choice I will always default to an end to end encrypted messengers.
I’ll certainly be staying. I like it here so far!
Good. This is the way.
