Topic: Pixel Phone

A producer has launched noagendaphone.com, a service that provides "de-googled" smartphones running Graphene OS. This initiative allows users to regain control over their data and stop tracking. The service has become popular among the show's audience, and the producer contributed a portion of the proceeds back to the podcast as a "finder's fee."

A producer sent a Pixel 3 loaded with GrapheneOS, a privacy-focused, open-source operating system that randomizes MAC addresses and strips out Google services. Despite the technical superiority and privacy benefits, one host found the device "unusable" because its speed and functionality triggered his digital addiction. He argues for a "ShitOS"—a phone so difficult to use that it deters constant checking and keeps the user "off the grid."
