I can’t speak to beef, but there is more to Android security than what Google provides. That’s what Graphene is for, to make Android even more secure through hardening various attack surfaces and introducing other completely new security features. If that weren’t the case, Graphene wouldn’t be necessary on Pixels because Google does monthly security patching for them.

It’s also at the firmware level, which Google does not provide except for on their own hardware, and on top of that Google phones are some of the only ones capable of providing some security feature at the hardware level. This seems to be the main thing the Graphene team is trying to point out.

Graphene is centered around security. I’ve heard bad things about Fairphone in that regard - the Graphene team even talks about them in the replies on that thread.

Sure, I was trying to correct the statement that it’s not possible at all though.

You can still torrent with Mullvad, it’s just gonna be slower because you have less peers. But it’s still 100% doable. They don’t block torrenting entirely…

This article isn’t about that, so clearly you did not read the article.

Do you choose to use roads? Do you choose to shower? Do you choose to use power? Do you choose to use sewer? Do you choose to use public parks? Do you choose to use libraries? Do you choose to use anything subsidized by the government?

Then you’re choosing to pay for it. Million dollar infrastructure projects cannot be funded without taxes. It’s better if the load is balanced. This is why billionaires should be footing the majority of the bill, so you don’t have to cover their share. You should reframe your question to: why do billionaires steal money from us by not paying their fair share?

It sounds like you used crappy hall effect sticks or have defective ones, to be honest.

I use hall effect on the daily and have had none of the issues you’re discussing. I suppose time will tell, but I much prefer hall effect.

They could have easily fixed it with hall effect sticks. That is a proven and inexpensive solution, but Nintendo prefers to sell more joycons and create waste, it’s that simple.

The one I rented could go about 4 feet. It was handheld with a motor, basically had an engine on top of an X shaped handlebar so two people could hold it. It probably weighed about 90-100 pounds with the auger bit attached, more with dirt weight.

Question about this since I’ve never been asked - they asked for a photo copy of your diploma? I landed my tech job without them even checking or asking for my college diploma, let alone my high school diploma (both of which I would be willing, but it’s strange to me)

I jailbroke my Kindle and use KOReader on it which made my Kindle 10x better. But you’re right in that I’d support mom & pop before Amazon.

Sounds like a system crash of some sort. I’ve had similar things happen with really bad crashes. Android recovers with a reboot in these cases.

I’m not sure about the office, but I’ve slept in my car on road trips and during evacuations. It’s super uncomfortable, so maybe that’s the demographic that they’re trying to reach?

It’s decent, with the deepseek model anyway. It’s not as fast and has a lower parameter count though. You might just need to try it and see if it fits your needs or not.

I’m talking about you. You’re the one with negative awareness. That has nothing to do with your gender.

I’m a bigot for saying you have negative awareness?

I mean, that’s fair, but the 285k has a TDP of 250 watts compared to 120. In practice, I think that people gaming or doing workstation tasks would use more power on the 285k, because typically, that’s what these will be used for anyway.

For comparison’s sake, the EPYC 7702 is a 64 core (hyperthreaded) server CPU, and it has a lower TDP. The 285k’s TDP is absolutely bonkers.

I think that was pretty obvious, no?

Ah, so yes, you do have negative awareness. Thanks for confirming.
