minus-squarerefalo@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·5 days agothere are many decent smartphones available for less money than pixels though, even from motorola
minus-squareexdor@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 day agoYeah and they are insecure and probably have very short and incomplete software updates Phones are sadly not general purpose computers
minus-squarerefalo@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·18 hours agoIf they’re insecure then there is an easy way to exploit it to root/flash it with a better OS if that wasn’t already possible. Not everyone wants to drop $900 on a hunk of plastic.
