Yes and it isn’t rated IPX7 for that reason, just IP55. I wouldn’t hold it under the faucet but it should be perfectly fine for daily use.
Fun fact: It’s still entirely possible to make a phone water resistant even if it has a removable back. Samsung did it in 2014 with the S5. Glass backs are just there to make it easier to break a phone, not for any technical reason.
I already have Osmand and while it’s a great offline map, it can’t pick the fastest route for me every single day.
Yes and that’s why you stick to popular FOSS stuff.
Last time I checked, the secret chats had some severe downsides that make them unusable as normal chats.
And if you want to bring open-source to the conversation: Signal is AGPL licensed, both the apps and backend. Not that it matters because of the E2E encryption.
Telegram doesn’t have proper E2E encryption, so why are you using it for text messages at all? Asking this in privacy seems a bit weird to me.
Grayjay. It’s still a bit buggy but exactly what you’re looking for.
If we wanted to own the devices we bought, we would have needed to start 20 years ago.
Now it’s too late, the only reasonable thing you can do is clawing back control over your device by installing a custom ROM.
This isn’t about influencers, it’s about basic privacy rights being taken away.
How about privacy.com?
It lets you create a virtual credit card for every subscription and the point is that you can cancel those with a single click, but it’s also said to be a good way of keeping track of the subscriptions.
Oh, that’s from the installer and not one of those warnings you get after opening apps. Makes sense.
I missed that, thanks for pointing it out. The one without S is the correct one.
But that makes me wonder, how did OP not end up with two signal apps then?
The package name is correct, but signal was never on F-droid.
Do you have a third party repo that might be compromised?
Edit: Package name isn’t correct, so that’s almost definitely a compromised version. Get rid of it ASAP.
Ripped right from wikipedia: “A backdoor is a typically covert method of bypassing normal authentication or encryption in a computer, product […].”
Given you can’t be arsed to google that on your own, I don’t see s point in arguing.
Downloading and running binaries isn’t anything to worry about. Many apps do that to circumvent the update delays that apple and google put in place.
Browsers also download and run code from any website you visit. The security measures make sure that this code can’t just do anything, just like on android.
Tiktok is indeed more malicious than any other app I can think of, but it isn’t a backdoor.
US tech is backdoored just as hard as chinese stuff. None of the companies involved need to know when and for what the government uses backdoors, so they generally don’t.
Pen support on linux is amazing. On the T935 it worked without any setup and was much better than on windows in terms of input lag and turning the touchscreen off/on properly.
I used Xournal++ and while the UI is a bit small on a 13" 1080p screen, it worked perfectly.
Now I remember another thing you should probably look out for: Don’t get anything with a higher resolution than 1080p. Fractional scaling on linux is basically not a thing, so the resolution determines the size of any UI.
I put a similar amount of money into a used fujitsu T935 a few years ago for the same reason.
It was great for this, so I’d recommend looking into used 2in1 laptops. With linux and TLP you can easily get enough battery life out of pretty much anything.
I wouldn’t call that weird. Microsoft’s track record for anything involving security is absolutely atrocious, to a point where you now have to assume everything in azure and every single windows computer is compromised: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37702095
Thanks, I’ve been looking for a comparison like that but search engines have just gotten ridiculously bad. /e/ slacking on the webview updates is interesting and steers me away from it.
I’m leaning towards the fairphone right now because it’s cheaper at 256GB and not smaller than my current phone. DivestOS looks like it does most of what grapheneOS would do for me.
