Not exactly good but the way I do it is to use a USB HDD to have backups and E2EE cloud solutions

They are very security fovused and is against f-droid’s poor security practices. They do push accrescent through their stores tho

I assume you’re using it with bootloader unlocked. The issue is somehow some malware injects your phone and roots it, it can just install itself as a system service and just live there and you’ll never know. The security feature that protects against it is disabled once bootloader is unlocked.

Also I’ve heard that LineageOS has not all security updates present since some firmware updates needs to be provided by the specific manufacturer. For Pixel, Google provides it and GOS uses it.

I’ll pay the hardware with money and not my data.

Way to go

Yeah GrapheneOS rarely does eye-candy features. They have a very small team so they exclusively work on security features.

Yeah it’s ironic but what is the alternative? At least we CAN remove Google’s known spyware from the device, and there’s no evidence of firmware level spying. If you get Samsung, or some chinese crap, you can’t remove Google period, and you might get spied by the manufacturer as a cherry on top. There is no way to have a perfect solution, well unless Samsung starts to provide Custom ROM support or something.

Regarding banking app, check privsec.dev 's list.

Regarding Pixel, don’t see it as giving money to Google, see it as payingnfor good hardware.

Banking apps works for me, they have a list at privsec.dev check that out first.

MicroG doesn’t have as much compatibility as Sandboxed Pkay. Also I think LineageOS is not as patched and kept up to date, maybe try DivestOS or CalyxOS (both forks of Lineage)

Cellebrite and the new Grayjack or something both has zero ways to crack a GOS phone 🔥

Did you fix VoLTE stuff? What was the issue?

Cool! How would you compare it to iOS experience?

The problem is true 5G is high frequency and very low range, requiring towers everywhere. Also realistically we don’t even need these speeds on mobile devices, what it should’ve been is a better 4G with more reliability and better performance in crouded areas.

do you know what makes them even more money? Making you pay, and then selling your data anyway!

You CANNOT opt out of data collection from youtube. Just pay them or they’ll put an absurd amount of ads to the point it’s not usable anymore.

Yesterday I forgot to turn on the switch and played on battery without knowing for 30 minutes. Went from 100-60. The game was old enough so there weren’t any performance difference so didn’t notice

Mine should have a 3070ti so ut should have no excuse for NOT running DOOM.

A 100W one should be able to power it for lighter tasks, right? Won’t be gaming on the power bank.

Don’t want a desktop

I am stuck on a laptop. So waiting for ASUS is better? They do seem to have a premium price tho. I can’t find any “killer deals” like this for ASUS. I don’t play games on battery, but I do watch movies and youtube on battery a lot. Also I want it to be portable (i.e: not stuck to a power of all the time)

Enjoy your new acquisition!

So, just go for it? Is ASUS’s 90Wh battery not worth the premium, or is this too good of a deal to skip?
