How private is a fairphone?
  • I know that for a fact that you can't install GrapheneOS on it, but CalyxIS is available for the Fairphone, then flash that and you'll have full protection, minus mandatory communication services that are require to use any kind of a smartphone.

  • Thoughts on the Brax 3 phone?
  • Go through Brax's videos and see if he ever shows how to do anything or if he nly talks about it but never gives instructions. There are random no name channels that show how to flash ROMs, what does Brax show?

    Look at his website, does that look like it was made by someone within th past 25 years?

    Apparently he has some kind of an APK file to install, how easy is it to find and what is the date of the last release?

    Does he always sell out of phones, or were they never available for public buyers? Where is his ordering page? Does the order page say sold out or is there no ordering website?

    My point being, add up all of the evidence and comapred it to random websites that list which used phones they sell, compare to the amount of random videos that walkthrough how to to flash a ROM, I say Brax starts to look like a con who doesn't know tech, only parrots what he reads. Compare his website to free wsbsite builders, see which looks like more recent designs and web technologies.

  • DrDisrespect Joins Anti-Cancel Culture Hub Rumble After Scandal
  • They are alternarives but not competitors, designed for 2 different audiences. Rumble is for people who have self control and can control their emotions. People who can't aeticulate differences and explain how they came to a different point of view seem to get zero traction or no interest on Rumble.

    Kick is for livestreaming, Rumble is mainly VOD for people who enjoy disagreements and challenging what pople say, but Rumble does have livestreaming functionality.

  • Seers Lodge chat app

    Does anyone having experience using Seers Lodge for chatting/messaging?

    I noticed it in F-Droid and I'm wondering if it's worth a try since it uses the Tox protocol so I just it for secueity.

    I am already well versed and experienced in using SimpleX all the time, calm down, I'm always interested in other libre/free messaging app options as well for 1-to-1 direct messaging

    What vendors make good dumb TVs or big monitors?
  • I guess that you cannot read well so I will say it plainly, when a TV has no access to the outside internet over the lifespan of the TV, zero information or files will ever be uploaded and will stay on TV with no external copy existing anymore.

  • Take a break from Twitter
  • I do agree with your explanarion. Your initial responce came across as flippant as if there is only one approved opinion, and that is to hate Twitter, as opposed respecting people's decision to only use Twitter.

    I see the hyocritical posts on the fediverse to hate on X/Twitter, but at the same time the fediverse is constantly begging to be accepted as relevant. Considering it's only a small number of people that use Twitter on a weekly basis, Mastadon is completely meaningless and will forever be nothing, and nobody has ever heard of Lemmy, but Lemmy has already garaunteed itself to remain nonexistant to discussions on the stredt and in busineasaes.

    I do wonder if Mastodon is doomed to be forgotten, even if there are servers still running it, but it's too early to say. But I will bet cash money that absolutely nothing from fediverse will ever have broad appeal and fediverse will permanently stay in a tiny nothing hole separate from society.

  • Nvidia RTX 5090 GPU price leaked again, and it’s still eye-wateringly expensive
  • I agree that an 8800 is higher level. My standard is any GPU that does 1440p 144fps ultra of a 3 year old gane is above midrange.

    I believe for GPU selection, a lot of people would be happy with 1080p 120fps path tracing on ultra. If graphical quality is the most important thing about gaming like some PC make it oi to be, there would be no consoles that sell.

    Since there is a very large market of people who have not bought a new release within the last 2 years, it makes for a lot of people who would enjoy raytracing/path tracing getting 120fps at 1080 to 1440 but not more or higher.. The mass market is years away from 4K 144Hz.

  • Nvidia RTX 5090 GPU price leaked again, and it’s still eye-wateringly expensive
  • No, there will not be. The RX 8000 will top at the mid range. There will be no successor for the 7900 XTX. Maybe the 9000 in 2027 will have a 9900 XT. I wish there will be a 8800 XT for $500 to put pressure on nVndia, but with Blackwell 50 series using GDDR7 and RX 8000 using GDDR6, an RX 8800 XT for $500 might make no difference.

  • Qualcomm expects to make $4 billion from selling its powerful, energy efficient Arm CPUs, although gaming performance isn't there just yet. [laptop and PC]
  • It seems that RISC V is starting to eat into ARM's sales,.correct me if I'm wrong. I know that althought Risc V does not have the performance, it's bcase as a CPU that RISC V is open hardware, free of any licensing so angbody can build and modify a RISC V processor free of all financial obligations or restraints. Thankfully big tech is developing their own RISC V processor because in the years ahead it could mean that each corporation makes their own processor for servers which means nothing to buy for hardware.

    No, that does not mean it will be a real world competitor to x86_64, but it does mean it could be a free alternative to ARM, depending on a device's design. I would buy a RISC V tablet and install BSD on it.
