Well, not anymore… Ehm icloud scanning

*everywhere

Just use signal or any e2e instant messanger instead of it.

They’re the new cable, especially in the US.

Yes, let people do what they want.

It did, but was later removed for some reason.

Well, this person (according to their post history) has schizophrenia, but this could kinda be real and probably also happned, if not recently, probably sometime in history. Of course the stereotype about rape victims actually exists.

Just check if it’s legal first.

Or if they copy the data from the servers, as it isn’t e2e, the data is unencrypted on the server (or usually encrypted on the server with keys accesible by people working there) as far as I know.

You can replace the battery easily and there are roms like calyx and divestos, which support bl relocking. Although divestos doesn’t look very stable, but I haven’t tried it.

I think some op phones also meet the requirements.

Wow that’s actually a great app. Thanks.

Well, it depends on the country and it’s politics.

*in the greatest parts of europe, aka the balkans (how is the slovenian school system still decent?)

There are also bluetooth smart objects which are not much better (smartwatches, etc), but at least we have gadgetbridge for those.

Snapdragons are decent for custom roms, the problem is samsung blocking bl-unlock on US SDM phones.

Well, there is no support from privacy roms, but I can survive with lineageos+microg (with somewhat decent updates) on redmi 4x. There is support for poco f5 and redmi 12 from crdroid, which supports microg and is apparently decent. Cheaper options usually have mediatek processors (mediatek doesn’t opensource their software or release fw blobs), so the support on those phones is terrible. Support on snapdragon xiaomis is still way better, then on samsung, oppo, etc.

Xiaomis and some other chinease brands have decent custom rom support, but no grapheneos and no bootloader relocking (except some oneplus phones)

And most are chrome.

I think it usually works with VLC (but usually not performant), but I don’t think there is an alternative for cast on android (without gapps)
