Oh Tom’s Hardware, you couldn’t resist the lure of AI for writing your headlines, could you? I can’t imagine it’s your human authors who mixed up H264 and H265 in the same sentence!

Given the prices, I’ve been amazed for at least the last 2 years at the number of folks who are still buying new laptops and desktops.

I really, REALLY hope that this becomes such a massive failure for Discord that it turns into a cautionary tale for all such corporate KYC scams .

Nah, it couldn’t be.

Google would never do anything just to stifle competition. /s

I think you can only simplify things so much without making the entire thing pointless. As others have already said, install GrapheneOS yourself — it’s almost as easy as making an online purchase. And remember the phone is inherently a tracking device no matter what — especially if the cellular/radio stack is active.

I don’t think there’s any more shortcuts that can be taken if security and protection from surveillance are actually important.

Agreed!

My struggle is to not get bitter/angry at these situations. I have to keep reminding myself that there are about a billion other ways in which I am ignorant of things that are equally important. And that just a few years ago, I too, was completely on the big tech bandwagon (but only reluctantly so).

Your pain is so very relatable, pal 😢

Very insightful! Thank you for this comment @msage@programming.dev
