Well, most people from the entire world are stupid/aggressive to minorities enough they are willing to fuck the world up.

Nuking their data centers all over the world?

AKA, people are stupid.

Who the fuck locks away their online marketplace behind an accountwall. I can’t even buy used shit in Slovenia anymore. The online stores we used to use are way less populated.

Well yogas are pretty much as shitty as ideapads. The same keyboard model, no upgradability and the feeling yo want to kill yourself every time you try to use one.

Just use ungoogled. It’s decent enough.

Apparently not. But it will later come to other cheaper offerings of the company which will probably have a headphone connector.

Yes. Cellphone carriers are a stupid concept. If I paid for my own cell service, I would use VoIP.

Apparently it’s great, but don’t expect Bluetooth, other connectivity for android apps (wearables, etc)

Yay, what, 30€ for a fucking battery. Who the fuck is fine with paying that? Or is it only expensive in EU?

Great. How does everyone enjoy practically enslaving your family members? I would understand using this when traveling alone trough unsafe location, but not for 24/7 tracking.

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.

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?
