Mainly just that one mean it will never be available on any other hardware…

All the others seem like nice to haves rather than requirements to me(the first one is half required , half nice to have “…including full hardware security functionality”), but I guess I might change my mind when I get around to building a Linux phone when I have time to do that when I’m dead… 😅

they should be required to be designed to be safe in the way people actually use them, as opposed to this hypothetical driver who has duct taped thier hands to the wheel…

how does the author find it surprising in the slightest that it’s easy to live without…

3rd party apps were still working ?

eat the rich

Sounds like they’re intentionally setting the barriers to entry too high for anyone other than Google…

Is it just me or does it seem slightly sus that GrapheneOS is only available for Google hardware…

Probably helps that it’s a mod: so it’s not making them any money anyway 😅

It’s a bit like how in NZ you can order a “pint” of beer, and the bartender will fill up a random size glass around 400~700ml 😅: you can buy a 30" TV, and if you measure the diagonal, it’s around 79-82cm 😅

You can still use classes if you want to…

Yeah but they’ll lose that business next quarter, and the current shareholders will have already sold thier shares by the time that’s reported so it doesn’t matter.

Hes quite old: he could drop dead any time …

You seem very optimistic about the state the world will be in when he’s gone… 😅

I think there’s a few options, in order of increasing cost:

• get a really cheap one from ali express or similar
• get an older one that uses a defunct connectivity method
• modify one to remove/replace any telemetry modules
• build it yourself from scratch using parts from ali express or similar
• get a shop to build one for you

It depends how broad their “masculine influencer” definition is…

I think whether it actually matters would depend more on if they’re consuming “masculine influencer” content exclusively , without any concept of other world views.

But that doesn’t include infrared or ultraviolet 🤣

Maybe we should shorten it to Q++ 😅 (j/k)

Until Facebook buys them like they did with WhatsApp…?

a subtle edit resolving a duplicate reference in a way that removes displays from the list of parts that must be replaceable by a layperson with basic tools

That’s fucking significant change, considering probably even more smartphones become ewaste from cracked screens than anything else by a long shot…

Is this post an attempt to disprove the title “no stupid questions”?
