I wouldn’t say it is irrelevant when there is a worldwide push towards authoritarianism and countless examples of unreasonable search and seizure.
Hardware security is irrelevant for that. As it is irrelevant for most other things.
Authoritarian governments are not going to bother with hacking you. They will just force you to unlock your devices or go to jail for obstruction of justice.
Real security starts with de-Googling, de-Facebooking,… etc
Six fewer terrorists in the world.
As a thought exercise, I was considering what the other countries in the middle east could have done to avoid this conflict
They could have closed down the American bases that Trump is using to attack Iran. That would have done the job.
MBS and other Gulf dictators were begging Trump and Israel to attack Iran. They are now being served a good example of FAFO. In particular, I hope MBS and MBZ go down in flames. They are the worst of this inhuman scum.
Also, there are plenty of cheap second hand pixels on ebay, and Google doesn’t see a penny from those sales. Recycling is good for the planet anyways.
This is where I disagree. Buying second hand google phones supports the second hand value of these phones, which in turn indirectly benefits Google because people are more likely to buy them.
Hardware security is largely irrelevant. It makes sense for some use cases, mine everyday use is not one of them. There are much more important threat vectors, such as all the acounts of the cloud services I use.
The only reason I don’t use GrapheneOS is because of thte tight coupling they have with Google’s hardware.
Because Israel has a leash around Trump’s neck.
Telegram has approximately 1 billion global users. Signal only has around 100 million. Telegram is about 10x the size of Signal.
Unlike Signal, Telegram is successful in getting people to move away from Meta’s Whatsapp.
Maybe it just wants to play a nice game of chess.
I used Manjaro for a few years before switching to Arch. Manjaro finds a nice sweespot for “Arch but also nice”. Furthermore, Arch has gotten much more user friendly in the last 5 years or so. Back in late 2010s, Manjaro was adding a lot of value on top of Arch.
What really bothered me about Manjaro was the “forum cops” they employ, who are super aggressive to newcomers and unhelpful. It was not a nice experience to seek help. Say what you will about Arch people, they are at least helpful.
I finally switched to Arch when I got my new machine. I recommend the same.
Other companies outsource their KYC compliance to them.
the name of the company is known. it’s IDMERIT: https://www.idmerit.com/
which is the joke.
Debian must be the 1999 Toyota Corolla
Americans are basically pushovers. They will say yes to anything the Federal Government tells them to do.
USS Abraham Lincoln has to stay away from Iran because they keep attacking it with drones. Without bases in Kuwait, UAE and Saudi Arabia, USA would not be able to sustain this war.
