So far from what I've read on the grapheneOS forums it won't affect them that much. And sadly I don't think there is any alternative. Fairphone isn't that great, they lack hardware based security compared to pixels.

The Samsung bootloader is locked by default. They're talking about it being unable to unlock it.

So basically its impossible to install any custom firmware on it meaning you are stuck with Samsung's own crappy rom.

Theyre basically spyware phones. I removed all crap on my s23 and after Every update new shit just pops up.

Needless to say this is my last Samsung. I'm waiting for august 20th to drop so I can buy either the new pixel or a heavily discounted old one and throw GrapheneOS on it.

Yeah apparently that's a crime nowadays.

Yeah the bar is pretty low sadly.

I'm EU based. We don't have visa debit cards

Because I have to. A lot of platforms literally don't support debit cards.

Im amazed it took this long. We should start banning companies like visa and MasterCard. They should be completely neutral and not try to push USA conservative christian bullshit.

This is the exact reason why I bought a good old home trainer with no internet connectivity. The computer that is on it is one of the old fashioned ones, you can disconnect it and the trainer will still work but you just can't see any readings.

Smart products are scam products. Don't trust any manufacturer to still give support after they feel they got their moneys worth out of a product.

Is California the only sane place left in the US? I feel that every time I read something slightly positive its always California.

Great way to make people start pirating games again. Just like movies and series saw a huge rise is pirating recently.

Its almost as if pissing people off has the opposite effect of what you want it.

Well I guess there isn't any better endorsement of your product for privacy than when the cops tell you not to use it.
