Google indirectly, since it allows people who buy them new to resell them easily (and thus encourages them to buy new pixels).

That is an outside factor that isn’t a guaranteed outcome. Many people sell phones that they’re no longer interested in after trying them out.

Not to mention the shutdown of the mastodon account, lack of Linux drive and the allegations of vibe-coding.

You could get an used Google pixel then install graphene OS.

It’s time for the EU to use its economic weight against a fascist state.
