Without any kind of internet connection, it’s a pretty safe bet

Both of those are funded by the French government, a government that is open in its support for the Chat Control proposal. I have no reason whatsoever to believe either of those is secure in the slightest.

It sounds like those features mean a lot to you. Especially brightness, apparently. But they mean little to me. I have no use for fast charging so long as the battery has enough capacity to last between charges. Smaller bezels mean nothing when the camera leaves a massive hole in that larger screen. I already own a high quality DAP, so I don’t need top of the line audio, just something I can quietly listen to quietly on my studio-spec headphones. And despite brightness being so precious to you that you felt compelled to name it twice, I work nights, am nocturnal and my eyes are sensitive to light. Additional brightness means nothing when I never need it above 50%. I need utility, not boardroom-approved statistical refreshes.

Sadly, the Signature is yet another victim of ‘innovation’. I have no use for a device that is doing the exact same as everything else at that price range. I’d sooner grab the Edge 60 Stylus, despite the significantly worse CPU.

Basically everything privacy focused. NobleROM is just One UI from newer devices back-ported so I have modern Android without losing everything that made the Note9 so great. There are the standard problems with banking apps and such that I’ve seen Graphene users able to get around.

Same for the excitement. I’m just hoping they don’t release an ‘innovated’ device no better than a Pixel. There’s been a growing trend of even Motorolas coming with less and less. It’s more than a little alarming.
- Comment on What Phone do you guys use? 3 days ago:
I can do without the innovations
- Comment on What Phone do you guys use? 3 days ago:
I’d love to be using GrapheneOS, but I refuse to lower my standards to a sub-par device, and certainly wouldn’t pay the Google tax for the privilege. So I’m currently using a Galaxy Note9 with NobleROM while hoping against all logic that the Motorola + GrapheneOS partnership doesn’t spit out another useless wet fart of a device.

More importantly, how do they go to the bathroom mid-patrol?

To be fair, I wasn’t trying to get banned at the time, but I certainly got the message that honest opinions aren’t allowed on that site quickly enough.

I said #FuckSpez and it worked like a charm.
- Comment on What's going to happen to gas stations as cars electrify? 3 weeks ago:
Most likely fuel stations will retreat to outside of city borders, and obviously a lot being shut down and even more people being laid off along the way. It’ll happen slowly but there’ll be three or four local ones suddenly disappearing practically overnight, the last few being the ones clinging on for dear life due to having no better options until the inevitable closure.

Then enjoy a full 0% of my money, Sony. I’m not buying your overpriced console.
- Comment on W10 EoL and possibly switching to Linux (various tech questions) 3 weeks ago:
Oh shit. No idea how I managed it, but my comment was supposed to be a response to the original post, not your comment. I didn’t bother looking at the context the last time I responded to you so I didn’t notice. Sorry about that.
- Comment on W10 EoL and possibly switching to Linux (various tech questions) 3 weeks ago:
Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC. It’s the long term support version of W10. It’s made for company so it receives minimum updates and is set to receive updates until 2032, if memory serves. With some minor tweaks, it works just like standard Windows 10, allowing you to keep using everything you’re accustomed to without giving in to the telemetry bullshit.

LTSC
- Comment on (serious) What would we be losing in a world where most people didn't own a car? Please read the OP before posting. 3 weeks ago:
I live in a city. I live 15 miles from where I work and I can drive it in about 20 minutes. If I wanted to take the bus, it’d take 3 hours and just as many changeovers because there’s no direct run. Not even close. I already work long hours so there’s no way in hell I’d spend 6 hours commuting, even if I could. For the record, I couldn’t even if I wanted since my office is nice enough to leave me with only an hour to get home, eat and get to bed before starting all over again. Sadly, it’s one of the failings of public transport even when it does exist.

- Comment on Is Dungeon Meshi worth it if I'm not into anime? 5 weeks ago:
The best way to know if it’s for you is to try watching a bit. The 3-episode rule is a thing for exactly this purpose. Sometimes even 1 is enough to know if you’re going to like something, but some take a few episodes to get to the crux of what’s going on.

Today will be known as the day Remedy died. Fucking dickheads.
- Comment on Is there a decent video compressor like compressing from like 4k to 720p? Quality not an issue. I am used to watching cams when movies come out. Just size downward. 1 month ago:
Second this. It’s great. I’ll also add that if you have a meaty GPU, look into how to set up GPU-based encoding. This takes strain off the CPU and drastically reduces the time required per job.

- Comment on What's the best free version of word? 1 month ago:
The best free version is the one provided by MASS. Any other word processor typically has some kind of downside.
