how many hours does the battery last?

continuing my above answer: your cell should be a cheap 1C (which is just cheaper than the 3+C, not bad, it’s totally fine for your application) The C rating means “the max amperage you can draw from the battery to be safe is times ”. So a 1C 2000mAh battery has max amp draw of 2A (or 2000mA) while a 2C 500mAh has 1A (2x500mA)

If your battery lasts for more than 10 hours straight that means you draw 1/10th of max amp - meaning a cool battery. In case of a 1C 2000mAh you draw 200mA

So: if your keeb lasts more than 10-15 hours you’re more probably fine as the battery is kept cool

The amount of current you draw should be super low, even for 1C batteries so the produced heat should be negligible. I would however leave some space for potential puffing and maybe somehow a small window to check (if possible)

1-2mm would be fine. if you don’t have such space, i’d personally do it but i wouldn’t recommend it

as more people use a software it’s not easier to find exploits but much more profitable - and you see that propagate, as in:

  • More people start to use a software
  • Inevitably it gets hacked - by a kid most probably
  • The company starts panicking due to bad press
  • They start fixing the security bugs
  • (some years pass)
  • Now its quite difficult to find exploit as many security bugs have been fixed
  • Exploit prices skyrocket since it would affect many users and it’s difficult to develop
  • Bug bounty skyrockets since the exploits are so pricey

Now the last 2 steps tend to cycle since the security of the product fluctuates

Now the above have nothing to do with “residual” products - such as custom roms. And actually, you have so many deeply specialized people around the main product that finding a bug and developing an exploit on the residual is just a matter of “who the fuck cares”.

So you’re basing your security of your phone on “care”, also known as security through obscurity (some times at least).

Another example of “who cares” security is libreoffice. When I started as a security engineer the veteran (and boss) referred to it as training material to find security bugs. I found some, but who cares? Ain’t nobody gonna pay for them as “nobody” uses the software (keep in mind that we’re referring to millions of daily users rather than thousands per month)

hmmm depends on the phone and what you mean difficult. If you’ve managed to format a computer you’ll be fine. If you’re having trouble downloading chrome or office, maybe think about it again - I’m not saying you shouldn’t try or learn (everybody can learn), Im just saying that it will require an amount of time that I imagine would be uncomfortable to a user that don’t wanna bother downloading a program.

Not all people enjoy computers!

that “security update” quickly gets irrelevant as the exploits for lineage (or any non-standard rom) sells for pennies compared to a stock exploit. also no one’s paying security researchers to assess lineage - also it would be completely impossible with the amount of updates and devices they release

remember that (unfortunately) security is all about money

just a side note for graphene: i have the feeling that it’s not for everyone. “too much” security tends to get in the UX way

this is the way

you too on memmy? 😂

we need some kind of memeeconomy in lemmy
