> Why such a restriction? Sorry, that wasn't clear: I meant any phone that I can purchase as of 2025. I was looking for several months and made a decision about 2 months ago. A second-hand Pixel was a big compromise but I don't

Hi strcat, we had this conversation often enough that I'm starting to recognise the username. It's the same every time: Graphene argues it's dangerous, tech-savvy users want it but aren't necessarily interested in the up

I'm not using those. Would be cool if I could access my own data and lie to software vendors about that, but I'm not very interested in playing that game every time they release another update for the detector. I'd rather u

Not if it comes preinstalled though. Isn't that the point of the partnership?

Isn't that about feature releases? My understanding was that security patches are separate from this edit: looked up the announcement https://www.androidauthority.com/google-android-development-... but it doesn't

Is there an overview somewhere of stable third parties that do these builds? I might want to use one of them and didn't know this was a thing. Not having access to my own data is the only reason I haven't installed the OS yet

That would be as big as Signal stepping away from the phone number requirement. Sadly I've lost hope on both of these, no idea why obviously good things (I'd say pro choice if it didn't have another connotation) are always su

Just get a SIM from another country and use roam like at home. I can use any network here as though it's my home network. The provider isn't required to support this (they can give me 2 weeks' notice any time) but I use very

When you say replaceable, do you mean repairable or swappable? Like, does it need to be done without tools (probably takes <1 minute) or would it take me 2 hours with a load of tools (no change from today) just that there's a legal

defcon21 is from the pre-snowden world (2013), for anyone else wondering. Mobile landscape (our reliance on them, the central role they play in our lives) back then was a little bit different and indeed I'd not be surprised if most mod

No, it's not small, but it's afaik the smallest model you can find that's still unlockable and runs any ungoogled OS > I'll be forced to go back to dumbphones in the future... along with many others, I guess. Going ba

Citation needed. A lot of dumb phones still only support 2g, for example, and you need to watch out that you don't buy a model that won't work anymore when carriers take that off the air. No smartphone hardware has that issue

I haven't found a >=2025 phone (I started looking in the summer) with a headphone jack that I can actually use more conveniently than a tablet. Everything now requires two hands, not counting warrantyless china phones like the jelly

by Aachen 8mo ago
You sure? I only heard of laws about repairability, not swappable batteries. You can already replace the battery of any phone, the only question is if it'll take you 1 minute (Fairphone) or several hours (every other vendor I'm aw

That's already required if you want to sell the device in the EU (or EEA?) at all. So far, Motorola hasn't left the market with their low-end devices so I presume they intend to deliver on the updates

The niche that draws me the most is the cheap segment. Now that we're moving towards a society where all sorts of vendors (including government) require code execution on a device with remote attestation of DRM (or attempts thereto), h

The part you cited explains it. The 100x speedup is achieved by comparing to a method they didn't use anyway because it was too slow, but one that would find an optimal route like HH presumably does—when you have the default profiles

Not sure if serious but I don't think that's precisely it. To me, it's more that it rehashes a point until it's fully beaten to death, putting obvious aspects in a list, being subtly wrong, writing a conclusion paragraph
