Yeah that is a strange take to say the least. I have an older pixel that has long been used as a satellite mic running grapheneOS. It stays plugged in and optimized at 80% charge and sips juice without cellular services. It still functions as an all day replacement when my primary device in the shop even.



This, I used to run an ovpn server to call home from restricted networks that didn’t allow for wireguard ports. I’ve since moved onto netbird, which runs wireguard under the hood and automatically syncs to a relay server when needed.
