Oof. I had a friend who did pen testing. Only she never abbreviated it. I didn't hear the abbreviated form until much later. I think she just liked saying "penetration". Even after a couple kids at that point, she was pretty young. But I always thought it was cool what she did.
It's a shame Proton is going this way, since their product offering could rival Google. They could have partnered with Graphene, perhaps, to make Android more secure. Not sure if, as a Mac/iPhone guy, it would make me more likely to switch (though, the Fairphone 6+ caught my attention), but it would be good for Android.
Next phone I get will be graphene and MUST have a replaceable battery. Period.
I’ve already switched to Linux on almost all my computers. Still have one macOS and my son won’t let me switch his laptop to Linux. But everything else… Linux. And I’m learning a LOT.
Is there seriously a phone that supports GrapheneOS and has a replaceable battery? Graphene has a famously short list of supported devices.
Graphene only supports devices that have the hardware necessary to utilize the security features Graphene devs implement. Right now, the Pixel phones are the only devices with said hardware that also allow third party signing keys to lock the bootloader.
Apparently not. Dammit. Well, there are other linux phone options that do offer replaceable batteries. I feel like that's more important than the operating system.
