Android a shit. IOS a shit. Go GNU/Linux and a dumbphone for your mobile needs.

>>108407907put on some pants
>>108407907>dumbphoneNo, I value having a positive non-zero amount of privacy.
>>108407932You do all of your computing in pants?>>108407979Post sensitive content via signal.
>>108407907what is this machine and how do i get one like this
>>108407979the thing with dumbphones is there's a clear line where the entire thing is a tracking device for the phone networks vs the smartphone world where you play whack a mole but there's a million vectors for leaks
>>108408172GPD Micropc 2 N300
>>108408199is it safe? is it well made?i've been looking for something like this but just kind of assumed it didn't exist since everyone is content pretending apple doesn't track them if they toggle the switch off
>>108408224The Windows is cracked and activation will go away after formatting. Be sure to download drivers. On Linux everything works fine except for touchscreen which is rotated (display is fine but touches are registered on opposite sides of the screen). I just turned it off instead of fucking around with config files. The build quality is ok. Doesn't blow up. Don't know about their gaming line with Ryzen. I got GPD MicroPC 1&2 only.
>>108408293idc about windowsi'd rather install bsd i better check that it'll have drivers for everything
>>108408326Xubuntu and Ubuntu MATE I can confirm.
>>108408040>Post sensitive content via signal.Signal is gay, session is better>>108408190Yes but the most intrusive tracking imo is still possible on dumbphones if you have a SIM in them
>>108408666yeah well the network is tracking me just the same if i have a smartphone with a simpoint is if i don't want to be tracked it's best not to even have the devicei know for sure that anything on the dumbphone is visible but it's difficult to be sure signal on a smartphone is hidden from google/apple
>>108408703That you're using signal (or any other app) is easily hidden by using a custom ROM without GPS, getting it off f-droid and no push notifications. However any adversary barely gets anything by knowing you use signal. What annoys me is that people think they'll be private when they use the devices that encrypt none of their conversations. It's like screaming from the rooftops so nobody secretly listens in.
>>108408738i simply don't allow this opaque machine to have access to anything i'd rather keep private and a dumbphone makes that line very clearif i write something on a piece of paper i clearly understand (it could be stolen or if in public a picture taken or whatever; also it must be destroyed or it could be taken from the trash; etc.)if i write something in a window on my openbsd machine i clearly understand the security guarantees (disk encryption but if the disk is stolen the changed bits may be obvious; also mitm on the bootloader if the disk can be stolen; there's various risks if somebody with access to the machine could run code on it; etc.)if i call or text someone i assume verizon wireless has full metadata and the contents of the text and in principle could record the call, so there's really no privacy but i clearly understand thati have been completely unable to get a clear statement on the security guarantees offered by any smartphone. usually it's just "this magic button makes it 100% secure" which is never how that works.
>>108408806Then just give your phone less data? Even better, encrypt it and decrypt it only offline, then reboot.
>>108407919DAMN RIGHT(captcha is Arch logo)
>>108408172gpd.hk
>>108409337omg they also make psps
>>108407907Based GNU/Chad
works on my device except when it does not and i need another device
>>108407907wow you got 4chan to load on a Neo?
>>108408806>>108408738He doesn't download cp you utter retard. Some people on here are normal.
OH BOY THIS THREAD AGAIN
>>108407907jesus christ my parents got me one of those eeepcs when I went to collegelike yeah, thanks for the thought but how the fuck am I supposed to type on something that size as a 6'4 man with giant man hands
>>108408224It's as safe as any American computer. If you don't trust it better get cracking in KiCAD.
>>108412162I use a bluetooth mechanical keyboard with mine.
>>108412120I will make new pictures this weekend.4U
>>108412168I thought gpd is chinese
>>108412649Hong-Kong
>>108407907For me it's GPD win 4 + Cachyos + KDE, but everything you said is correct.
>>108407907>maid computer thread
>>108412826So Chinese?But seriously, they're based in Shenzhen.
Dumb phones don't exist. Best you can do is a linux phone.
