Cannot see modules for sale in the shop which is rather strange for a modular phone. There is no details of their sourcing concerning rare earth parts . They push the recycling part real high when their documentation shows 450 Kg/year of effective recycling, where does the rest of their current devices come from? Finally They push consumerism quite far in their shop with their bundle buy our current phone and you get a free upgrade towards the next one we launch.

And what about the bikes they also make and sell? Making one type of good product in such a niche market should be focusing enough not to be distracted in making other household products with vastly different supply chains, especially when you aren't a multi-billion conglomerate.

When security meets privacy. I'm worried that some independant android OS that use profiles as a means to achieve both might find themselves broken in their future iterations. Just a heads-up.

It's usually just the antennas that got very slightly out of their sockets. Look for a how to get it openned and press the antenna wires (they should be the only real round, white plastic coated, wires you'll see) back into their sockets. And you'll be good to go for a few more years.

Or, serious idea too: only allow it through ADB and only get the adb toggle with warning but no explanation as to how to use it behind the 5 taps on version number.

I'm pretty sure as soon as the instructions to get a banking app involves downloading stuff on a computer, connecting the phone, getting into cli...most people would have gone on to find the real app.

Toggle in the dev options would only be one more instruction step for the scammers, defeating the purpose of hiding OTP from screen sharing in the first place.

Because it's more optimised towards AI, you start off with an exynos chip which is ok for gaming and ok-ish as far as neural networks are concerned. The more you optimise it for AI tasks, the less easy it is to make it as available as it was before optimisation for rendering. So a G3 isn't meant to be architecturaly better at gaming than a G2, the goal is to be way better at AI, and unless there is a leap in exynos architecture, that should increase with tha G4... Until google get it's independant chip designs around ARM achitecture going. Until then they have to work within the limits of exynos limitations.

So, does this account belong to Vern Miyagi or the employee of the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency?

Fairphone uses Qualcomm snapdragon chips but they don't use chips made for mobile phones, it's chips for industrial use they buy, so the secure element might be missing. The reason is: they are supported for way longer which allows fairphone such long update periods. The shortlist of other phonemakers who can do the same are the ones who design their own chips: Google, Samsung, Apple.

It's an e/ OS spin-off. Quite a trustable project.

That's a motivator right there. All those sports/learning/chores apps should have that kind of challenges.
