Same, they never asked for a selfie back then. Try opening one now. Today it's hard to get a hire purchase contract as an existing custoner (already known and verified) without photos of the ID and selfie.

Most banks now require selfies, try shopping around. KYC requirements get tightened all the time.

You could say that. The lack of root is only significant because unlike in other vendors the built-in backup doesn't work reliably, and you can't use third party software. But I'm very hopeful, recently they released this Mes

Hetzner?! No, I would never use them if I wanted to host a pirate proxy myself. Very crude, trigger happy, operating in a country very cosy with all the police organisations.

Currently only Google Messages supports RCS indeed, so Messages is not a replacement yet. Personally I don't need RCS so I simply use Textra since forever as it's far better than Messages, but lack of backup is impacting everyone

You're right, this is not a solution. And I'm syncing some of the app data already, but that is not a replacement for the OS apps. Most of the data cannot be synced like this.

I am a parent and I'm grossly offended by the thin veil of fake excuses in the effort to normalise staggering invasion of privacy. For my kids. This effort trains them to expose their full name and home address and their real face to a

It's maybe $250 for someone's old phone. Other than that -- next year. And this is other companies' choice, not GrapheneOS team, to fix on releasing grossly insecure hardware or NOT releasing patches and fixes.

> Messaging, high impact. Messaging can be replaced with one of the hundreds decent messaging apps. Unlike the backup app which is utterly unusable, untrustworthy and frankly crap. And CANNOT be replaced by anything else. As it stands it

What? :) You mean the perfectly functional (if barebones) AOSP call app? :)

Investigated, prosecuted and jailed (if necessary). So all the people companies are better off, not just you and other shareholders. You know, the opposite of two-tier justice system.

In the longstanding tradition of leading on the forefront safety, we introduce Engine Check coming up after mysterious, unaccounted for, unsigned voltage drops. Can't be too safe if it could be a short, right? "Tinkerer mode"

Thank you very much, that was so easy to understand, it'll genuinely help me. Thanks again.

That one is on me — I failed to take into consideration the limitations that you put in plain in front of me. This won't happen again.

Hm. If these glasses can run custom software maybe they could even start recording automatically? :)

That's a massive difference to me (you rightly called me out on that one). One is 5 seconds on wifi, second is grumbly attempts to create throwaway email to create the throwaway account. I agree in principle but disagree because I hate

You won't see GOS on the $100 ever, because they don't contain the hardware GOS relies on. It simply won't work. Of course you can fork it, adapt and run the less safe clone, but the official GOS won't. ...unless you acc

Which things you'd say are very suspicious? And "they are suddenly very AI obsessed" sounds so alarming - can you point to something I could read?

This reads shockingly bad, but most of that won't apply to the new devices. Like, it will be Qualcomm, it will support unlockng , relocking, custom keys and will not have a secret debug key - otherwise there simply would be absolutely

Kind of not like this. I mean the coat on my brick wall (and ideally roof), that will reflect most of the infrared and UV. I've used a white paint like this on the conservatory and white walls outside, and along with a solar-reflective

And having to restore everything (this is a house with personal items, not a loaner, anonymous flat) if someone trashes it? Naah, even a small risk is unacceptable in such case.

Terrible. No malware / trackers / ad blocking on 9999. I hope at least they'll keep these options in their tunnel configuration but if not there's not much sense in keeping their service....

Remember their new algorithm also prefers and promotes Spotify's own tracks they don't have to pay any royalties for and the slop. Related: https://bedrocknews.com/article/technology/2026/apr/11
