It’s not a review though?

Good points! I think I’m leaning slightly towards the Pixel at the moment. It’s true that while I’m not interested in a custom ROM now that could change down the line.

Good question, I assume that both OneUI and Pixel Android support the old three button navigation as well as gestures, but I’m not certain.

edit: Upon looking into it I can confirm that android 16 (and its derivative presumably) support three button navigation.

It’s about $8 CAD / month, which is noticeably more than Air vpn’s ~$5.25 CAD / month (if I signed up for two years). That being said I understand your point, assuming that they have that trust. As someone who isn’t familiar with them though I need to first know why they deserve it more than others. Other people do seem to speak highly of them though and have made some points that are in their favour.

What is it about Mullvad that makes it superior to all other options? I’m open to it, I just need something to justify the higher price.

How important is port forwarding? I’ve never really bothered with it. I’m definitely still in the shallow end of the pool when it comes to using vpns.

They’re not denying that happens in England, just pointing out that it functionally happens in the US too. So I’m not really sure what your point is.

Yes, if taking it seriously, then those are reasonable conclusions. However, I think you’re just overthinking it, in this context the scenario exists to service the joke rather than the other way around.

The comedic implication is that the giant eagles are natural predators of goblins and, more importantly, hobbits. And might be inclined to a mid-flight snack.
