you dont know but yet you talk rubbish

lol i’m sure the average joe who switches from windows to you name what linux distro does this by himself and not the os doing it for him wtf

driver firmware does not count?
ofc it does.
it is just your opinion and it holds also no weight with me too

Explain then why gnu-linux libre kernel exists if linux kernel is totally free?

What do you even try to say?

How is it 100% free if it has non free firmware? Lol.

kernel is not free
it ships with blobs/proprietary crap etc
if it was free gnu-linux libre wouldnt have existed

what is your budget?

you can record without consent if you want. but you can be sued and pay damages if the recording goes in public/you share it with other people etc in some countries is ilegal to record without consent.

because they ship with closed source software/packages/drivers/firmware/kernel blobs etc.

most linux distros are the same trap that windows locks you into.

your dns server relays on another upstream dns server that could be down so whats the point

you could replace your battery every 6 months but make sure you get genuine one (from official service, no clue if they still sell for this model) not some shady chinese aftermarket option

you should know if you are recorded. its a good thing.

so the call recording stays on the device yet they added a tos for it?

what trick is this? could someone link this tos?
this is just a response to apple offering this function on iphones.

for ages google blocked call recording and since apple started implementing it they turned it on now? lol.

the listed alternatives wont give much performance boost.
skip and wait the newer phones with bigger batteries 7000mah+ and with better new gen soc/cpu/gpu.

software too i unboxed a new pixel, started to set it up and all of a sudden, a lot of system apps started to crash. returned it next hour.

these days all website run on javascript and budget devices have poor cpu performance which translate in slow loading of web pages.

not to mention the telephone part is crap too, junk microphone, junk ear speaker, weak signal etc.

just for phone calls better i’d get an old nokia dumbphone

i would replace the battery and put lineageos on it.
the new devices dont give that much performance and the prices on those are not worth it.
