  • They are so different they felt the need to compare themselves directly in their own white paper. You are an idiot.

    Its literally just a worse version of ubo with an extra snake oil feature.

  • We are all dumber for reading your comment.

  • They literally compare themselves to ubo in their own white paper. Are you dense?

  • This performs worse in literally every category when compared to ubo. You can check their own white paper if you don't believe me.

  • Poisoned data is extremely easy to filter and will only get easier as AI improves. Stop making these posts this is basically FUD. It is much better to get rid of the data you can and form proper data hygiene practices.

  • Their past dramas are irrelevant to this issue.

    Giving into a straw man argument such as their other dramas somehow devalue what's going on now, only plays into the French propaganda campaign.

  • Not as bad a taste as the French government is giving me.

    If its do I trust GOS or a confirmed pro chat control governments side of the story, its an easy choice.

  • Don't bring data you are not ok with a foreign government forcing you to handover. That's the simplest solution.

    Back all your important data up, then wipe your phone before you go. Same with the laptop. You can't be coerced into giving something you don't have.

    Threat modeling is important. If your just an average Joe being a tourist it is highly unlikely the Chinese government is going to take your devices to search.

  • Based on basic security principles. There is not a real security expert out there that would ever tell you to not update. Leaving a backdoor in your network as a "honeypot" is an absolutely awful idea.

    You are also conflating security updates with feature updates. Please take a look at the different terminology.

    Anyway if you really hate all the bloat of Windows there is a wide variety of other operating systems to choose from that also offer security updates.

  • It is pretty much always more dangerous to not update. The internet is an extremely hostile environment (from a security perspective). You really should avoid having devices that are not updated or EOL connected to it.

  • I do...

    Owner - these are the apps I daily drive.

    Work - all work stuff lives here.

    Google - apps that require the playstore.

    I thought about using my owner profile as a hub for app stores and then a 2nd profile as my main profile but I found the 2nd profiles a bit unreliable in terms of receiving calls and texts.

  • I think if people look past the clickbait title and thumbnail the video is actually a positive for GOS

  • I can't imagine Google is losing sleep over this being an issue for GOS users. If anything I'd assume anything that could get people to switch back to stock is what they want.

  • One downside for Mint is RCS doesn't work properly with T-Mobile carriers as they require more privileged access. GOS has talked about maybe providing a toggle to allow this like they do with Android Auto.
