Motorola Mobility vs Motorola Solutions. Different companies. Different owners. Different nationalities.
- nunobrito 7mo agoGo ahead and trust them. I won't.
- gf000 7mo agoThen keep using your phone made from magic pixie dust, because we live in reality where you can't just grow out "the perfect" hardware company from a seed.
- nunobrito 7mo agoThere are other Android distributions without suspicious funding sources that don't force you into google-owned hardware, nor give you as second option to jump directly into NSA hardware suppliers.
- karel-3d 7mo agoBut they are not NSA hardware suppliers.
- nunobrito 7mo agoYes, they are. Since decades now. DYOR.
- strcat 7mo agoNo, you're mixing up entirely different companies. GrapheneOS is working with the Lenovo subsidiary.
- karel-3d 7mo agoIt's a different company. They just share the same name. You don't do your research properly. This is a Chinese-owned company, part of Lenovo. (I mostly don't trust them because they are Chinese-owned, but then, everything is made either in China or by China-friendly Foxconn so, whatever.)
- nunobrito 7mo agoPlease stop. Companies change ownership, contracts with customers don't. I seriouly hope you commented out of naivety rather than malice to fool others here.
- omnimus 7mo agoI would like to know what kind of phone you are using.
- nunobrito 7mo agoAt the moment this model: https://www.hotwav.com/products/hotwav-hyper-8-ultra-rugged-phone https://www.hotwav.com/products/hotwav-hyper-8-ultra-rugged-... with a modified Android based on LineageOS. Connects to the world using GSM and radio using satellites throught https://geogram.radio https://geogram.radio
- flexagoon 7mo agoSo your solution is using a dropshipped phone from a sketchy no-name Chinese company?
- kotaKat 7mo agoAnd I'm sure that Mediatek chipset has already been pre-backdoored for access by the folks at Cellebrite/Greykey/etc :|
- nunobrito 7mo agoNow provide a reliable link for that claim.
- nunobrito 7mo agoYes. You are arguing for absolute privacy, I am arguing for _more_ privacy than adopting well-known spyware devices. There is a difference.
- karel-3d 7mo agoIt's a different, unrelated company. You don't trust it because of a shared logo? The mobile motorola is a fully Chinese company that just shares the brand because of history. It's nonsense to not trust it because a different company does NSA stuff. This is a basically unrelated Chinese company!
- nunobrito 7mo agoVery different. Oh so different. That argument worked suprisingly well with boomers. Those with access to the internet in the last 20 years will find absolutely zero difference when a company changes ownership on the surface while retaining the previous business links.
