It’s in the whole EU as far as I know.

Wow, some people can afford phones. I can’t just buy a phone for 400€. I have a 2017 Redmi 4x i got for free from my dad. Hopefully my next phone will be a device with GOS.

Well, they still usually use test keys and don’t support AVB yellow (which doesn’t concern me because my phone is old enough it doesn’t support AVB anyway).

Well, apparently they are involved in harassment of gos with caylx and rossman.

Gotta keep on building and survive & then maybe somebody will have sex with me.

Well, how do you know it isn’t just the smell of the enviroment? I always smell a distinctive smell around ants in the forest, but I don’t know if that’s actually just the smell of their hill (is it actually called a hill) or of ants.

Well Xiaomi also builds phones shittily. But I’m still continuing to use my Redmi.

Wow, Canada is only addressing vocal minorities, while ignoring other minorities, without the means to equal position in society. Which country is non-repressive enough for a minority to move to? There isn’t, aparently I’ll just have to accept being in a concentration camp in a few years. Great.

Or just use lockdown mode.

Why the fuck would you even need to update the monitor firmware. It’s a screen, that displays things.

VS, that’s it. Other than that, office once a few months when my school requests an assignment in .docx / .pptx /.xlsx format. Edit: forgot about windows install USB-s (I know ventoy exists).

Yes, But the marketplace is actually useful.

Maybe he is sick and dying from poisoning while they do experiments on him. As usual.

Congratulations.

Open platform my ass. Most carriers just use Google’s servers for it.

What choice do I have? Not using a phone? Not being able to message my relatives when not bringing a laptop to school?

After I unlocked the bootloader and flashed custom software, the privacy invasive OS from Xiaomi is gone, unless they embedded a spyware into the bootloader, which any other company could also do.

But I do use Linux on my laptop and try to avoid useless and privacy invasive smart home devices (which is all smart home devices).

Don’t worry. When I will be able to afford it, I will switch to a GrapheneOS phone.

Well, 800 - 1000€ for a new pixel is normal even in EU. Where the fuck could I even get that kind of money as a highschooler? I’ll just use my old (2017) Redmi 4x with LineageOS for the time being. I know it isn’t secure, but it’s the best I have.

And of course, I don’t recommend buying older redmis (I got mine for free around a year ago). The security is atrocious since it doesn’t support AVB (not even with original OS). I’m always anxious about it starting to bootloop (since it randomly restarts, I saw the same issue on multiple Xiaomi phones, even ~2 year old ones). And while I have used some decent phones from 2017, the Redmi’s performance is underwhelming while others (like my mom’s huawei p10) still perform well.

The cars (in EU) used to be under 20.000€ ~6 years ago. Yes, I understand inflation exists.

People like this argument, because they can then hate autistics. They could say we are inherently broken and need to be “fixed” or genocided.

At this point, I only respect people who were discriminated/abused/mistreated in their childhood.
