What is the issue with the permission model. It's basically the AOSP permission model. The changes made by GrapheneOS is the user-facing toggle for the INTERNET permission, and the sensors permission.

If people do not want to interface with those features, they can simply skip them, and the permission model will be the exact same as it is on Android.

The access comes from GrapheneOS' OEM partner who isn't breaking any kind of NDA.

Anything 8th gen and later would be best, as those models support MTE which is a huge security feature not present on 6th or 7th gen hardware.

Well, there are examples such as Yuh and Swissquote which are using Play Integrity API and also using hardware attestation to specifically allow GrapheneOS. The latter is in the process of implementing what's needed right now.

We also expect Google's Play Integrity API to inevitably be ruled as anti-competitive, which it is.

That's immensely good news. It's good to know that there's still hope.

I certainly hope so.

We recently made it so that the call recording option is not hidden away. If there are 7 options, it's RTT that will be the last one now, and we've made the scroll bar always be visible to make it clearer to people that they can scroll there.

We use Flarum for our forum, but Discourse similarly only allows one to view forum posts without JavaScript enabled.

Pixel 10 will be supported by GrapheneOS provided it continues to meet our requirements - we'll know when it's out. It'll definitely take us longer than it has before.

A collaboration with an OEM doesn't mean we'll stop providing existing or future Pixels if they continue to meet our requirements.

Good to know. Thank you and good luck!

You should watch Rossmann's video on Linus - he has a habit of doing these hit pieces.

Yes, I have watched them all. As I mentioned somewhere before I am a fan of both channels.

He never called Linus "insane" or "delusional" as the parent post claims, hence the request for evidence.

He (rightfully IMO) criticized some of his business practices (Honey, BilletLabs, "Trust me bro"), and quite a few more controversies which LTT was embroilled in.

He criticized Linus' behavior and lack of accountability based on his personal interaction with him, as well as publicly available evidence. At worst, called him a narcissit. If anything, he is vindicated by all the LTT apologies videos (one of which Linus and other staff even make puns and sponsor placements ...) that follow up each controversies.

Any more specific evidence you think show that "Rossmann has the habit of calling random people insane and delusional". I am willing to bet you have none.

We don't really strive for perfection. Pixels aren't really perfect and there are numerous suggestions we could make today for Pixels to drastically improve their hardware. Our requirements are in some way below what even Pixels provide today.

Our requirements are not at all exotic or outlandish, the fact that most OEMs don't meet them says more about how far behind most OEMs are, rather than our standards being unrealistic. We've also been told that they're not unrealistic in practice from numerous OEMs who want to build a device that meets our requirements.

It is also important to note for Pixels specifically that since the 8th gen Pixels, they receive 7 years of support. Additionally, they partner with iFixIt to provide official replacement parts for the duration of the device's life. I'd say that's pretty sustainable, especially when you consider that the Fairphone doesn't actually provide proper support for the amount of years they claim, since they have consistent delays in providing patches.

Ok, fair enough, if we are looking at software side of "repairs" (updates). However I'm talking about hardware side of things - with Fairphone I can remove and replace the battery by myself (or even carry a spare if I choose to), while e.g. in the newest Pixel, 9a, the battery is glued in place.

As for the requirements, I will take your word for it. And I do appreciate that you put the emphasis on security as it is often overlooked. I guess what I'm saying is that having control over my phone (as opposed to BigTech or apps having the control) is for me a much higher priority goal than just security by itself. Hardware reparability is (again, for me) a close second.

Anyway, I hope you find a good partner for the phones, and I'm curious to see what you come up with!

> while e.g. in the newest Pixel, 9a, the battery is glued in place.

Is this really that big of an issue? It's like a couple dollar fee every 4-5 years or so.

GrapheneOS does not degrade the camera quality at all. The quality will depend on the app being used. If you use Pixel Camera on GrapheneOS, you'd be getting the experience you'd get on stock OS using that same app. Similar for our built-in camera app.
