So the thing they sell is actually installing Graphene and then additionally offer to remove internal mic's.
So its Graphene for non technical people.
And in a few weeks they'll propably slap their own Fdroid Repo on top for any vendor apps.
I cant actually say if that is a good thing or not.
At least if they install vanilla Graphene, you can use attestation to verify that the os is signed by the official GOS key.
Pixel 4a on Amazon Germany is 399€.
I recently bought an unused one for 300€ and needed about less than an hour to slap Graphene on top including doing attestation before and after install and storing the output.
So they crudely calculated want 230€/PersonHour.
I guess the real person gets somewhere under 100€/h and the rest is put in to business reserve.
I havent seen any option to remove Mics.
That would require to remove the display which is glued and fragile with an over 10% chance of killing it.
Pixel displays are from 70€-150€ a piece.
- lucideer 5y agoOh I had missed that bullet point. Definitely a service that might appeal to some.
- javajosh 5y agoIf you remove the mic, this means you must use an external mic, yes? That seems terribly inconvenient.
- detaro 5y agoPlenty people use a headset all the time anyways. Certainly a niche offer, but I can see it.
- lucideer 5y agoDepends on your setup. Many headphones (both wired and wireless) have built-in mics now & I also have a bluetooth dac with a built-in mic. Mics as integrated extras in external peripherals for phones have become very common these days.
