What's something you no longer buy due to intrusive, insidious technology being added into it? (lemmy.world)

I'll start: printers.

I bought an HP in March 2020 when my job went remote and HP bricked it remotely after only 100 pages because I wouldn't sign up for their subscription program. Ended up trashing a perfectly good printer.

Luckily my library's close by and I can print there remotely.

Grab an older phone that you can still root and flash, like a galaxy s10e. They work just fine.

-Sent from a Graphene Lineage Samsung Galaxy S10e

    No. GrapheneOS currently only works on Pixels 7 and up.

    Next year we might be able to buy a Motorola with GOS on it. Afaik, that particular Moto doesn't exist yet so we don't know what the specs will be or what the privacy/security compromises will be.

    I'm very much looking forward to that Moto. Hope it's going to be decent, ideally something like current Edge 60 Neo - no bullshit ~7" tablet size, good battery, decent wired and wireless charging, ok camera.

    https://grapheneos.org/faq#supported-devices

    Literally on their page

    • this page specifically highlights the supported devices per grapheneOS themselves. If your device is not on the list, it is not supported, you fucking dildos *

    It literally is not on their page. GrapheneOS only supports Google Pixel phones right now

    There's a LineageOS rom that works for Samsung Galaxy S10e's, and that's all I know of

    It. Is. Not. On. The. Page.

    You have 2 people telling you this. I myself skimmed the whole page and even did a search for S10e. Before you pull up your keyboard to tell me I'm wrong, go look through your own link first. It's not in there, quit lying.

    People need to learn to open a browser and fuckin search, man.

    Take your own advice. At best you just used the link that Google's AI spit out, which everyone knows is wrong 10-20% of the time

    Holy shit you're dense. I know it's not on the page. I provided the page to show fizz what they fucking support you Muppet. Learn to read.

    No, I went to the grapheneOS page myself and provided the link to the specific section that reads supported devices.

    I run graphene myself on a pixel pro 8. The fact that I had to boil all of this down for you because you can't process possible inflection online is part of the problem. I'll make sure that moving forward I write every possible nuance of the message I'm trying to convey for dorks like you.

    Graphene doesn't run on that phone. I don't know what's weirder, that you're lying about it or that no one has called you for it.

    I forgot what ROM I used back in 2020 when I flashed the first one.

    Boo hoo. I was only 90% correct. Go cry about it elsewhere.

    0% correct. You spread misinformation, you can at least, cop to it.

    Wrong. Making a mistake is not spreading misinformation, especially since it was fixed down thread by others. I pointed people in the correct direction to figure out a solution that can work for them.

    You are just a doomer that tries to start fights. I never see you try to help, all you do is criticize any niggling point that you think you can make. Piss off, grow up, and be better.

    Maybe don't be a constant confrontational bitch, and people won't be hostile to you when you have an opinion or questions. Since I have seen your pattern for the last few years, I will reflect your open hostility when you direct your lack of manners my way.

    I was wondering when your affinity for projection would show. I'm not reading your bitchy diatriabes anymore. You've descended into your habitual "I'm perfect everyone else needs to change attitude."

    Making a mistake while sleepy ≠ intentional. No matter how much your child mind cannot comprehend that Grey exists, and most things aren't black and white.

    Good. You're a child that can't understand how humans work. I'm fine with being corrected. I'm not fine with being bitched at, which is all you know how to do.
