- benatkin 3y agoIt doesn't mean that, it just means you selected it out of the available options.
- judge2020 3y agoHow does this relate to verifying that the software running is the same as what google ships to everyone?
- benatkin 3y agoI'm responding to "you trust them anyways" How does using a device mean you trust the vendors? That's wrong. It's like saying you trust your governor because you live in a particular U. S. state.
- judge2020 3y agoIf you don't trust them, why verify the integrity of the software blob they ship with their hardware at all?

- benatkin 3y agoI still want to make sure it's the correct download. And yes I think of the preloaded OS as a sort of download.
