Yeah, but I think I have like half of those devices in a desk drawer.
I use it on my old Pixel 3a to play livestream bird feeders for one of my cats.
Does it still work otherwise? Pixel 3a user who may or may not watch birds. And cats.
85 % probably have outdated firmware.
That number probably higher. However that changes nothing as we can’t control proprietary firmware blobs.
Honestly there is no way of knowing anything about the security of those blobs. Firmware vendors can do whatever they want.
They mean that the device manufacturer and or hardware vendors are no longer putting out updates for the proprietary blobs.
I dont know if it even has to be proprietary. Vendors need to sign the firmware too.
Yeah, really bad.
#GrapheneOS
They’re different projects with different goals. Graphene is more private & secure if that’s the thing that matters to you. Lineage supports far more devices
Graphene prioritizes security above everything else. This means that it does thinks like ship proprietary software if they think it will boost security. Lineage os is designed to be a Linux distribution for phones and is focused on providing a system that is all free software (excluding firmware). It doesn’t kill off support for devices and is designed to be tweaked and doesn’t support bootloader relocking out of the box.
Thanks, since you’re suggesting this, would you like to exchange your pixel for my cheap xiaomi?
I would suggest you get a pixel, why get a cheap xiaomi in the first place?
Does LineageOS work with Google Family Link if I add gapps?
I can’t confirm if all features are working, but possibly. My case is that I have LineageOS on my phone and my son has an Amazon tablet that I’ve used Fire Toolbox on to install Google Playstore and services. I’m able to approve/deny apps for him to install (I get the notification on Family Link on my phone), but some things aren’t working because I’m having trouble with Play services on the tablet.
