Mama told me not to come.
She said, that ain’t the way to have fun.
Your mom is in a lot of address books, including mine.
I kinda think it does. I use a gecko browser as my main, and I use a chromium browser as my backup. I don’t use most of the default features, I just need a handful of extensions, and those are available everywhere.
So to me they’re pretty much the same. Brave is a little different since it embeds an ad blocker, but besides that, the rest of the chromium browsers are equivalent for me.
Nah, in those days I picked Linux. In fact, I got a “win7 ready laptop” and still picked Linux over it. Windows 7 was better than Vista, but it didn’t fix the other issues I had w/ windows.
I honestly think Win10 was better than Win7.
Whether it convinces the cops isn’t nearly as important as whether it convinces a judge/jury. I highly doubt “suspect’s phone is too hard to break into” would sway a jury to believe they’re a drug dealer.
Cops need to do a proper investigation and prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The type of phone someone has shouldn’t significantly impact any of that, though having a phone they can break into may make that investigation easier.
Yeah, no worries! I like the idea of Aeon, I just had some trouble with it. I’ll see how the next few months go.
They’re the same in the ways I care about, which is rendering and javascript engines. I’m a developer, that’s what matters to me. I rarely interact with extra features, and I can get most of what’s unique about a given browser with extensions.
OK. Owing an iPhone or Samsung also isn’t a sign of innocence, it’s just a phone, just like a Pixel. There may be a higher incidence of people owning Pixels being drug dealers/traffickers, but there’s also likely a lot of people who have them who aren’t drug dealers/traffickers, so that fact isn’t useful as evidence.
Sure, but it’s also not evidence of wrongdoing. What phone you choose or what OS you run on it isn’t evidence of anything.
Yup, whole process is something like 15 min. It’s really not an issue whatsoever.
You absolutely can, just not from the manufacturer. But I agree that it’s dumb, installation is easy and doesn’t come with the added risk of the seller putting on some spyware or whatever.
Other countries can. But technically, the US government cannot deny a US citizen access.
Yeah, I have mine at 4 hours and it’s pretty good. It triggers while I’m at work sometimes, but other than that, it’s mostly just when I sleep.
Yup, install process takes a few minutes, it walks you through it on a pretty friendly web page.
I paid $350 or so for my Pixel 8 refurb. New wasn’t that much more. I put GrapheneOS on it the day I got it, and it took maybe 15 min? The install process was really smooth.
Pixels are way less than top phones, like iPhones or Samsungs.
I paid $350 or so for my Pixel 8 refurb. New wasn’t that much more.
And yeah, the Pixel is fine without a different ROM, I just like what GrapheneOS offers, so I specifically bought it instead of an alternative.
Sure, but they’re also not especially likely to be a drug dealer. I’m a GrapheneOS user and bought the Pixel specifically for it, and I’ve never done drugs in my life, much less traffic in them.
Would be sick. If they also make it open enough to try out mobile Linux, I’d totally buy it and try to transition (esp. if it can dual boot).
Guess they’re gonna throw my kid into Gitmo then…
That really depends on what they do with that information. If people get arrested for having a pixel, that’s a huge issue. If someone merely gets a closer investigation if they’re suspected of another crime, that’s fine.
The article is light on details.
