Must admit I'm perfectly happy with the free tier of feedly.

Well, sure, that's a cynical but also accurate description of the difference. The other, on a plaintiff level, is that they might be happy to turn a blind eye to student activity in the interests of 'helping' society in that way – whereas a for-profit company can and should be paying for anything they're directly profiting from.

Obviously, under law, a student should also have to pay. I'm merely saying that an IP owner might choose to let it slide. So, y'know, that's a difference too. If a more idealistic one. :)

You don't feel like there's a difference between students and for-profit companies?

Same. Had a P7 Pro for a couple of months and moved to an S23U as soon as it was released. Phenomenal phone.

Yeah, that makes it a pretty unappealing phone imo. Two years of version updates and no option of moving to a rom afterwards... That's a big ol' nope.

So annoying. This was really bloody useful for kicking off my articles. Model specs and prices, etc.

Was that YouTuber Linus?

My Gmail inbox is mostly fine, tbh. Most spam seems to get trapped in the default filters without much issue.

Hmm, I don't think so. I admit I'm struggling to recall though, already!

That's awesome for that very important feeling of security, but man it sucks when you get to two years and realise your phone won't be getting any better. I guess some folks don't mind that, and of course there's also ROMs as a solution, but still.

Same! Super pumped.

Great shots. And I see you're a fellow Aussie!
