That’s not the reason, the real reason is Fairphone doesn’t take security seriously. The GrapheneOS devs have called them out numerous times on that.

Bruh Android devices used to only get 2 to 3 years of support at most not that many years ago. 7 years is a MAJOR improvement.

GrapheneOS devs have been very clear about Fairphone not caring the slightest about security. They are the last OEM in the world they’d choose.

It’s not his real name

So does DVD and can be bypassed just as easily these days

Oh all those full screen DVDs are in fact pan and scan just like VHS.

But both formats have DRM and sometimes the Blu-ray is basically the same price or even cheaper. Sure DVD was easier to crack but that’s not an issue these days.

It’s not even 480p, it’s 480i with a resolution of 720x480 regardless of whether the content is 4:3 or 16:9, the pixels get stretched one way or the other. That’s for NTSC discs, PAL discs have a higher 576i (720x576) resolution but the movie is sped up 4% cause it forces 25fps when it should be 24.

Blu-rays are great, DVDs not so much unless it’s an old title that was never released in 1080p

Yep turns out that was the issue :o

Love my 7800X3D and M4 Macbook

RIP to my 20 year old PC I guess

Yeah I can walk into the Macy’s next door essentially and they have a Toys R Us section with a Geoffrey statue and everything. Meanwhile there’s another mall not too far away that still has an open Sears and the Macy’s in that mall also has a Toys R Us section. They also had a brick and mortar store in my area during the holidays last year that will presumably reopen during the next holiday season as well.

But Toys R Us still exists. They’re in every Macy’s and still have a few brick and mortar stores as well.

I would have personally opted for an 8a since the 7 will loose support in Oct 2027 while the 8a will keep being supported until May 2031. (In addition to supporting MTE which improves security even more) I haven’t checked their prices on the used market but I don’t think they should be that different.

Strongly disagree with the second part there. People like Mussolini deserved it.

Which model did you get?

I just use Chinese AI atp. Deepseek and Kimi.

There’s nothing anywhere close to the security and privacy Graphene provides. Find something like a used 8a somewhere. Check Backmarket, Swappa too not just Amazon and ebay.
