Who would have thought the best security practice would turn out to be having devices too old to be updated with spyware? No jokes

Basically anything else you use here in the west sends all data to Amazon-controlled servers. But they make sure its encrypted so only them can see it. Nice.

How is it with notifications and location nowadays? That’s my main concern about switching. SafetyNet or dog developers enableing “check if app installed from playstore” stuff?

Its not about nicely asking apple for “help” pre installing some apps, it is forcing them to open up the os to different software sources.

I don’t see it necessarely as a bad thing. I would rather have my gov id app (for taxes, id and driving licence, public services info) on my phone when i buy it, rather than candy crush and other fucking bloatware. I think it would also help a lot of non-tech savy users set up their phones quickly.

Second of all, gov ID apps having their own store on the side is good. Them being only available on google’s store makes it so that if you want to access public services from your state you have to go through google (?), it is clearly not acceptable by a government standpoint, It is even worse than a monopoly.

I would not be against all of this (being able to change device while keeping all app data, including logins would be pretty cool), if it wasn’t could based on Google’s servers. No thanks.

Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) is an American government-funded international media organization that broadcasts and reports news, information, and analyses to Eastern Europe

During the Cold War, RFE was primarily aimed at broadcasting to Soviet satellite states, including the Baltic states, and RL targeted the Soviet Union itself. RFE was founded by the National Committee for a Free Europe as an anti-communist propaganda[8] source in 1949, while RL was founded two years later.

Guys you don’t understand this is how indipendent journalism is done

Do we have something like this for Asia as well? Like you never know they might run out of our garbage propaganda… Oh yes we do.

Edit: this stuff is worse than like CGTN or Sputnik, because at least those don’t try to hide behind “InDePeNdEnT jOuRnAliSm” when they are financed by the goverment that rivals the area they serve.

Good quality, but Android on what device?

RiscV! RiscV!

This is the definition of an artic-ad

Can we have passwords longer than 16 characters ffs?

Society if those devices had been the precursors of smartphones and not the closed box that were back then:

“Learn” linux not even a requirement, a lot of distros work fine as a normal-person-os out of the box (Ubuntu & any of its spin-offs, Manjaro, Deepin, etc), with maybe some minimal youtube/forum troubleshooting, probably comparable with the amount you would do on windows.

Bro forgot to bring an emulator… Enjoy staring at binary code or something.

Huh? But I am assuming you do, so what is the issue here in counting it as a separate country?

Taiwan…?

Because there is too many ads

Isn’t this the same as “Total Cookie Protection” that was released a while ago?
