yes

Yeah I'm gonna use that from now on, that's hilarious.

Yeah I also wonder why they aren't using Open Street Maps

Honestly, in that case I would buy one. But otherwise this much processing power is just absolutely unwarranted.

You know, if there's one thing we can learn from the French then it's publically beheading the leaders of the country if they don't act in the interest of the people.

Gen 1 X13 currently go for 100-150 bucks, they are the best value but compiling time is gonna be pretty trash

Well I do want GrapheneOS on it so they aren't an option. I just wonder why noone is capitalizing on a ~200 bucks GrapheneOS phone for people like me who don't need the processing power or even lower-spec models for criminals who literally only have Signal on it. I mean which criminal organization or activist group or whatever wouldn't buy a box full of sub 200 bucks GrapheneOS phones?

Yes, but like half the SoC power, half the RAM wouldn't change anything about how I use the phone. It's just not needed at fucking all, waste of money. I'd rather have even more battery life lmao

Damn I guess most of us didn't know that, thank you for sharing.

Honestly, I'd replace this fuckass Google device in a heartbeat, but I will never in my life understand why people want flagship phones. I got a b-ware 9a for 300 bucks and even this one is way overkill for what I want in a phone. Why can't there just be a low-spec one instead of ones that cost more than an entry class laptop?

I think there are two sides to this.

1. You are right, I'd rather just get them on Windows 11 Enterprise IoT LTSC than goddamn ChromeOS.

2. ChromeOS will likely lower the bar for switching to a Linux distro so you might consider it a stepping stone. A stepping stone with nails and spiders coming out of it, but still a stepping stone nonetheless.
