4 years? My laptop is from 2018 (with only the battery in a shitty condition), my mom had a laptop from ~2004 in 2021 (until I embarrassingly fried the motherboard when replacing the hdd). Electronics last forever if you don’t murder them.
Wow, so it’s actually somewhat decent. If I had money to actually choose a phone, I would still prefer GOS.
No AVB yellow state on most devices (bootloader relock with custom keys), MicroG (while actually a cool project) Isn’t a fully functional implementation (no Chromecast if you enjoy self harm, no U2F, FIDO authentication, etc.), you also can’t use safetynet (for banking apps) with unlocked bootloader

Well, it’s as paintful to use as a lineage os phone w microg (not a full implementation). If you want security and usability, use GrapheneOS.
Wow, thanks. Will keep researching, but I hope my Redmi survives until some new info on the GrapheneOS partner brand comes out. Hopefully it’s something that can last ~10 years without problems.
To be fair, Huawei hardware (in my experience) lasts way longer than any other, if you take care of the devices.
Are there serious issues like motherboard problems (I know them from my mi 11 lite, which is now completely useless), or some other serious problems, I couldn’t fix without professional tools?
Yep, if it wasn’t obvious before, it is now.
Maybe Sailfishos, but it isn’t open source and has practically no app support outside of android.
Well, you can make LOS decently private with intelligent use, but you can forget about security. I use it on my Redmi 4X (originally with android 7, when AVB wasn’t even a thing yet), so the security is still better than the original firmware. It’s a tool to decent-ify security and usability of old hardware, it isnt a miracle or a hardened os.
Well, my previous statement was kinda misleading. Louis Rossman made ~2 vids about Micay being a dick to him and using autism as an excuse for his behaviour.
It is a continuation of an old conflict. Remember the Daniel Micay drama?
The main dev didn’t want to eat shit from the Teclore, CalyxOS team and Futo, so they bullied him to silence.
Why do you think everyone wants to use age verification. To rectrict us to only corporate media and to stop the little online anonymity and privacy we have left.
Because we’re fine with kids not having rights, but when anyone else gets mildly screwed by regulation like this we get angry. Great. How about we did something about it before it started affecting us?
No shit, but still, why would the Catholics opinion matter?
Alternatively you could provide them with a genitalia pic (which they need to discard in limited time) and they verify your age that way or something (it’s a joke, don’t shit on me for it). How the fuck is age verification anonymous? Either the site gets your ID or the government issues a confirmation, which puts you on the porn viewer list.

Great value my ass, I can barely get a used pixel 8a for 300€ in the EU. Redmi 4x from 2017 costed 160€ new and had all the features of phones at the time (except NFC). I’m still considering a pixel just for GrapheneOS, just because it’s that good compared to LOS, I use on the Redmi.
