I always disliked RCS, I kept telling people it’s a walled garden, mainly controlled by Google

There was a very recent project that reversed enginered iMessage which I assume they are using as reference.
is it using the iMessage servers again, or is it still talking to iMessage directly?
this seems like a little bit of a shitpost.
The reason is locked bootloader’s, some carriers lock the pixels bootloader down meaning you can’t install custom roms. Some lock it until the device is paid off or during a 90 day period.
The Pixel 8 Pro is likely the best. You can flash graphine or pretty much any rom. Samsung really doesn’t have custom roms anymore. If you get a pixel buy it from the Google Store
Linux security to me has always been, don’t download random packages you don’t trust.
I would say pixel 8 pro, likely the best phone you can get that will have support for 8 years plus. Flash graphineOS or lineage if you don’t care about high security and want Android auto
I don’t think that will plan pan out. ChromeOS is even getting gpu support and can run games via proton
Kinda sucks android atuo is s google feature rather than an android feature
They should stop supporting cops!
Killed by Google
graphine usually gets updated for as long as Google is still releasing patches, now of course graphine is a FOSS Project so zero guarantees of any kind
Couldn’t auto updates break things if they arnt tested?
Oooof, its kinda sad given pixels are some of the few devices with an unlockable bootloader.
I’m honestly suprised the amount of effort and awesome stiff went into this. Like its functional and usable. I can’t say all hardware gets the same treatment.
Has a smartwatch other than the Apple Watch ever done well?
I have a pixel 6 and would say its a pretty decent phone, generally I think Googles problems are more in its stock software, graphineOS seems to work great.
I think stock android has something called NightLight, at least its on graphineOS
GraphineOS is more secure than the stock OS
