    Could you elaborate? Who pays for what exactly? I am kinda triggered by that comment because you make it look like it's easy or inexpensive. It's not. I also came to Germany with j…

    I find it to be pretty reasonable, and also consistent with what GrapheneOS previously said. They were consistently against company-owned verification. I don't see anything offensi…

    Could you please share some examples? I often see them being on point and highlighting important details. Majority of custom roms aren't taking security seriously, so I don't think…

    This is a false dichotomy. There's way more options on this spectrum than 2 extremes.

    Last time I tried JLCPCB, it was way too expensive on a smaller scale. Simple PCB with a cheap Nordic nRF, a few other basic components, 10cm x 5cm: ~17 euros/unit (including shipp…

    I feel like the article ignores the elephant in the room — production costs. Producing PCBs (say, 5 or 10 units) is pretty expensive, and components are also costly on such a small…

    Fully agree, that's just straight up fraud and it's covered by chargebacks.

    Sure, will do a small write-up about my setup in a few hours.

    In terms of apps, I fully believe it will only get worse from here: Google’s trajectory has been pretty hostile, and third‑party developers tend to follow it. That’s why I have two…

    And how many options are there exactly? How many of them are capable of at least making and receiving a phone call without any issues 99% of the time? While I agree with your gener…

    IMO if numbers on Socket.dev can be trusted, then impact seems rather small (luckily). It also makes sense — I know some packages from the affected list, they're heavily outdated a…

    Orphaned packages, so other people are able to file requests and take over them. That's how AUR works — it's community-driven [0]. [0]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_R…
