If the main reason to use macOS is that it's required to develop iPhone apps, a touch screen helps with testing them.

A few observations:
- Registrar: HOSTINGER operations, UAB, Lithuania. Hostinger-branded authoritative DNS servers run on Cloudflare’s network. This creates a dependency on a US company.
- IPv6 is not supported by the public website/Git endpoint.
- DNSSEC would be a great addition for security, especially due to the use of US-based Cloudflare and Let's Encrypt.

The Pebble Index 01 is being sold as "Customizable and #OpenSource" on https://repebble.com/index
Apparently this was never the intention, as Core Device's founder Eric Migicovsky wrote in a GitHub issue that unlike all advertised, the firmware is closed source.
Official website: "Like all Pebble products, it’s extremely customizable and built with open source software."
Eric Migicovsky: "oh right, that's also closed source (friend's repo). sorry!"
This is deceptive advertising and dishonest.

I am using GrapheneOS. GrapheneOS has a compatibility layer providing the option to install and use the official releases of Google Play in the standard app sandbox.
See https://grapheneos.org/features#sandboxed-google-play
NetGuard also shows network requests from GrapheneOS itself, all proxied by the GrapheneOS project, as described here: https://grapheneos.org/faq#default-connections

Not sure anymore since I removed them, it may have been BlaBlaCar and/or Tricount.

I am dreaming of an open-source app that adds Wireguard capabilities to NetGuard or vice-versa.
Having to switch from one to the other is very annoying.

Installing NetGuard was revelation regarding the amount of tracking in most Android apps.
You can configure it to block access by default and notify you every time an app attempts a new connection. And it rings all the time.
Some software call home at 4am every day, other every hour, some send data to a dozen "analytics" services - services that I never opted-in for, which shows how few apps respect the RGPD.
At least most apps still work when those are blocked, and NetGuard allows you to block connections to Google servers except for Google Apps, which network firewalls and DNS solutions can't.
I have a Linux laptop with touchscreen, and my main use is to test the touch interactions on web apps, sometimes Android apps.
Sure it's possible to open it on the phone, but that's an extra step usually not justified.
