I said "more affordable" as I was comparing the 8a, 8, and 8 Pro. Whenever a new model comes out, last years always has a price cut. I didn't think referencing the 7a was required, as it's implied it's less expensive than 8a. But the 7a only will be supported for 5 years, while 8a will be for 7 years. This alone could make it the better choice. However, I know finances are different for everyone. Regardless, when I said it's more affordable, this was a reference to it being noticeably less expense than the 8 and 8 Pro.
The Pixel 8a is more affordable vs the 8 and 8 Pro. The 8a comes in at $499, while the 8 cost $699 and the Pro runs $999. The 8a still has an amazing camera, the battery will give you no problems, and it's not a MASSIVE device like most phones these days. It's probably the best way to get on Graphene OS at a reasonable price point.
Exactly, more than half of registered voters are over 50. So polling 50+ year olds would definitely be better data.
JMP is the bees knees, couldn't be happier with the service. The app takes a little bit of getting used to, but once dialed in it can function right along side your phones main number. Zero issues with it working on websites too, highly recommended!
Android user? Graphene looks like it's worth the setup process more and more. Pixels are the only Google product worth while thanks to Graphene really.
Just like the link in the iOS section, there's a link in the Android section. Both were in the first sentence, I believe. But I had to give the article another once over to find it.
I mean, the doc's are available through the link. But here's some screen grabs:
AFU: After First Unlock
BFU: Before First Unlock
BF: Brute Force
FBE: File Based Encryption
FDE: Full Device Encryption
FFS: Full File System
Sounds very similar to the settings option I referenced. Since I use my phone for music in my car via USB-C, it'd would prevent me from playin tunes and adding more music to my library. So I just set it to need to be unlocked for any data transfer. But this could do the job too I'd think.
GrapheneOS has a feature which makes the USB-c port inactive unless the phones unlocked. I'd think this would be a preventative for cellebrite.
Ok, good to know. But aside from knowing you're a researcher, what other info could someone get after seeing you credited as an author? I'd think as long as you practice solid online privacy, the only thing someone could learn is your specific field of study. Do you use a tool like Optery to remove your name from data brokers? Is Lemmy your only social media account? If you said no to either of these, maybe start there to help reduce your online footprint.
Fossify's Messenger is awesome, it handles SMS/MMS plus it's ad free and open-source.
