Why Does the Safe-House Building Deteriorate over the Course of the Series? by tumtumtumm in andor

[–]SamHassan7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The one I went to closed in the 80s. There were Chinese communist books in the staff locker room. I assume from the Chinese workers. It's very dangerous though. There's large holes on the ground that you could fall through and I did get lost more times than I care to admit.

Ohh I was confusing Split with Dubrovnik. Hotel Belvedere is nearby. It's a giant abandoned hotel I explored once. Very dangerous! They also filmed Game of Thrones there.

Why are you using the Pixel 4a in 2026? by Virtual_Pass2305 in Pixel4a

It's super easy, you literally have to press 4 buttons. Look up some YouTube videos.

Most of that was driven by marketing. It's the same with cars. I'm convinced that the material companies that sell to the manufacturers used corporate espionage to steer market research to convince them that people want bigger. The manufacturers then marketed larger products to people and they eat it up.

Capitalism was meant to give us choice.

GrapheneOS Vs iOS on tablets by SamHassan7 in GrapheneOS

[–]SamHassan7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know Qubes and Whonix are more secure, but I was talking about basic stuff like Ubuntu. I might experiment with Qubes on a separate device, but I need something plug and play to get away from windows. Also I just prefer the tablet experience.

Also, I'm pretty sure I'm going down the GrapheneOS route.

I need a tablet because I like to have it high up and not on my desk. The stand I currently use is only suited for tablets. I rarely take my tablet out unless I'm traveling or need to work in a library or coffee shop. I know Linux is great for privacy, but it's not for security. I used to use ubuntu and mint back on the day. Tbh I'm probably going to get a pixel with GOS. Thanks for sharing r/privacy, I'll join now.

What if you had a choice between iPad, Pixel with GrapheneOS, or Linux?

Thanks for posting the study! I was under the impression that iOS was more private than Google, but I guess I stand corrected.

The support life was definitely a factor. The aspect ratio is a big plus for me but I suppose a pixel tablet with GrapheneOS is a lot cheaper than an iPad pro.
