I have a 4a running graphene and I love it but after 3+ years the battery life is shot. I really didn't want to buy any of the new pixels because they are all too big and I hate big phones. I was thinking of just buying a new 4a and installing graphene again (because got forbid making a phone where you can just swap out the battery in this day and age) but are you saying this would be a bad idea at this point? Like even if they keep graphene up to date the phone will still be outdated (and therefore vulnerable) at the kernel/hardware level?

I suppose I meant to say "end to end encryption". It's no secret that it's been under attack from the top down for a long time but from my understanding the legislation keeps getting shot down. This seems like a perfect workaround unless I'm missing something.

Agreed, the constant Braxing is a bit Sus and annoying but i guess that's why god gave us Sponsorblock 😛

In terms of the info presented in his videos though I have been learning a lot from the channel. The way I see it even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day.

Physical access like an NPU chip fixed onto your motherboard?

Could you give a bit more detail as to why this is? Genuine question from someone who has only recently discovered his channel and enjoying the content so far.

I've watched it and I don't even know if it is clickbaity to be honest. It seems pretty on the money to me.

 

I know people have mixed opinions on Braxman but I don't see any huge leaps in logic here tbh... Thoughts?

Amazing, thanks! I'll give it a go!

Tried it with librewolf on Linux but couldn't get it to work

Whoops, meant to say Vanadium 😊 I do have librewolf installed on my Linux box but it's not my daily driver

The only thing keeping me from making the jump to Firefox is the fact you still can't create shortcuts to web pages that open in their own window like apps the way you can in chromium browsers. I find that feature incredibly useful so I'm sticking with thorium/librewolf etc for now. But once the enshittification is complete I guess I'll have to learn to live without it because I definitely aren't giving up ad blockers for it.
