Cons: no chance of an unlocked bootloader in the US

Not bad. I'll take that if it loads without javascript. I'd like my instance to have a web UI that I can use without JS

I see. Is there a way I can use regular expressions to search? I.e. "*SUP236*"?

Am I a loser if I stick to POSIX?

I don't need any of that. All I need isa privacy-focussed ROM which allows me the ability to install MicroG in a different workspace without bundling it in the base image. I think I'm being misunderstood

TBH if you're OK with 12TB then shucking drives can be a good deal for TB/pound. 12TB usually guarantees the IronWolf/Exos/Red Pro drives

In theory that shouldn't be possible unless the app runs as root. Although I'm sure somebody out there has a zero day for it. Yeah I don't know, I don't give any application permission to use location services, and the ones like maps I set it to "Ask me every time". I hope that's good enough for now

They're both rock bottom, and that's the best I can give. However, I will accept a concession in that my argument is more geared towards trying to escape Big Tech surveillance as a whole, not from any specific company. I admit that was a bold move from Apple but that's our perception of the situation; you don't actually know the discussions that happened and their inner workings because both companies aren't transparent in their dealings

I believe they are equally bad, just that Apple takes the effort to present better optics of their actions whilst Google doesn't care.

If I don't give them permissions to use Bluetooth and cut off their access to WiFi (VPN based firewall), is this threat prevented or am I a fool?

Basically, you trust Apple to not be as bad as Google. I hope you realise how flawed your assumption is. Capitalism doesn't consider morality in its wake

How does getting an iPhone not worry someone about privacy? Do you believe that Apple doesn't collect as much data as Google?
