  • First. Let me explain some bits about the Play Store. You are using the Google Play store, so of course, it stores the list of installed apps on your Google account. That’s fairly obvious. However, the relation with the apps generally end there. Some apps might have Google account integration (Google Games for example, or just as a login method) but not more than that. There’s also potential Google ads and Crashalytics, but it ain’t “directly” connected to your Google account (It link your device through an unique ID, which Google could correlate with your logged Google account on this device)

    That out of the way :

    • ProtonMail android app doesn’t use any of those Google stuff in it.
    • You can download their app separately of the Google Play Store. Throught their website, source-code release or F-Droid (Depending of their project. Proton isn’t consistency with those)
    • ProtonMail don’t care about your Google account, outside of importing your emails into your new Protonnail account if you choose to do so.

    Also, there is still a privacy gain, from using an email address from Protonmail, but only when you use it. It is just a better and more private e-mail provider. If you keep using a Gmail and Outlook email, than you will still issues with those emails addresses be used and read, for ads and analytics.

    Do note you can use your protonmail address on your Google and Microsoft account. Those services just tend to automatically create an email account on their respectice services by default (Gmail & Outlook) but they aren’t required.



  • I mean, it could also just be me too. I forgot the ticket for the shokz. Bought it “reconditioned” by Amazon for the JBL (and not possible to be repaired by JBL in that case). I would suggest you one tip from those with a back ring security thing, don’t lay on the back with it. Even if you rotate it to the entire back of your neck. I didn’t broke it there for those that obviously, but i feel it may have loosened it.


  • I absolutly love open ear bone conduction headphones. Really help getting to your surrounding without any audio leak from your headphones. Too bad that i never found one who didn’t broke. Shockz ones broke the neck security thing and the left ear headphone. JBL ones can’t be recharged anymore onto the right one, as it seems that the earphone doesn’t connect fine with the pins in the charging case anymore. And i even tried a cabled one, hoping this one would break as easily. The cable broke connection and it only work if you hold the cable at a specific angle (unusuable in most usages)
