Which is appealing when you have your friends and you want to have fun with them without chat control and Sauron watching your fart-like messages

That’s your way, I tried with fluffy chat and goto social

That’s why I try to push ChromeOS and family link so much, it’s the only 100% good thing Google created for free, both for school and family mdm. And once they’re e 18 they’ll be free to roam with MS, apple, Linux or whatever they want

Yes, I’d rather call it the Ötzi model

DNS should allow us to create a blacklist of sites, it would avoid to trash our phone CPU for some useless antivirus, family link (and I guess other MDM) is already enough. If not the DNS, then family link itself.

This is what the article says:

What’s been nicknamed by its critics, Chat Control, is the European Commission’s response to online child safety. As per the latest iteration of the text, all messaging platforms operating in the EU would be obliged to scan all URLs, pictures, and videos shared by their users in the lookout for child sexual abuse material (CSAM).

If all parents checked their children device just a bit… I’m struggling to block some yt channels now for example either via DNS or family link, but there’s no way. Help parents do these kind of things instead of letting govs go the privacy breach way to make us dumb citizens.

Probably yes, but iirc the pine phone has them too and it’s 150€

Signature is the only required afaik, alternative stores have been guaranteed to continue to work. Do they want to check bootloader too?

I know prices may be higher but check this: https://www.techwalls.com/production-costs-of-smartphones

If you go to china and go to a factory they will show you the menu where you can choose the components from, you just give them the 3d cad file of the desired form factor. And prices are the one I linked. You have to customize android, I know, and spend on marketing, but that’s it

Yes , it’s got decent hardware, but they should cut the price off in half

Actually they have a video on yet about a removable battery which is also waterproof, maybe the new model though.

I never heard about this phone before, but its android container seems very well engineered. I wonder how banking apps and android auto behave

iMarket is better? gStore? 銷 !
