When on standard android we do not think this actually works. In our channel history is a study that shows the phone collects more data when inactive or supposedly turned off. The only answer is to get rid of Google and Apple devices and use a degoogled or Linux phone.

For the software upgrade we recommend Linux. F*** Windows 11.

👆Let's try this one again... I have tested the link and it should work this time.

Hello Tech Garage Members. You may have noticed a slowdown in content that appears on the channel. Summer is a slow season for technology as it is usually used as a development cycle before back to school and holiday seasons. It makes fresh news harder to come by. We also have only one person who finds things, and they are a little burned out at the moment.

The mission to switch to free and open source is a good journey and we have enough on the channel that will allow you to complete that process with minimal help needed if you are minorly technical. The channel pins are conveniently arranged to be able to navigate by day.

We may end up slowing down what we post but we will continue to try and keep things for you to help learn the process of Linux installation and Degoogling a phone.

If degoogling a phone seems too daunting a task and for some we understand that. It's an advanced task that can go wrong. /e/ foundations OS also might be more ideal for business owners as it has e-cloud which provides a similar set of services.
