You can still get the disc drive for it though. I mean, it is fucked up its sold separately but it isn’t just no disc drive availability at all.
Well, for now it is. Latency is also a big issue
Lease and rent, or piracy.
Wait are you talking about without the disc drive or even with it?
Man, you really don’t like Graphene huh? I see you mention it a lot through comments and posts.
What is weird though is that you say in your other comments about how important it is to mention Lineage and others during discussion of privacy based mobile OS’s, and yet get all weird anytime anyone even mentions Graphene OS like it isn’t important to also talk about them, only the ones you like to push.
That kind if behavior makes me think anything you recommend is suspicious as fuck and I’m sure I’m not the only one noticing that.
so when you freeze your credit your credit score can’t go up either?
Paying things on time has no effect at that point then right?
And because of this it makes whatever they fuck with have unnecessary security issues.
Also though they are using it to straight up spy on you whether foreign or not. They got in “trouble” for it once and pinky swore not to do it again.
Fuck the NSA
But all this is assuming they want to convert it into another currency at all, I was thinking why not just use it in that form for international trade although some of the other comments have explained the dollar amount equivalent wouldn’t be able to exist right now due to mining limits.
But why not use a combination then of crypto, precious metals, and just straight up raw currency. I mean if chinas bank doesn’t want to accept it they could just ship a container with money in it directly to them right?
I mean criminal enterprises move BILLIONS all the time without banks so I don’t see how its so hard for two of the larger nations in the world.
Edit: I’m guessing the conversion into the Yuan would betheissue with sending them straight up cash huh?
See this was what I was really wondering. Some cryptp like Dogecoin and Monero have unlimited amounts that can be mined and while certainly not practical in my mind I was 100% thinking why not just mine a fuck ton of Doge or something and have it agreed upon that that is the international trade money.
I do see how converting it into a fiat currency would be problematic though but in that case wouldn’t gold or silver also he able to be utilized?
The points do make sense. But I mean at that point why not just use the crypto solely for international trade with other parties going the same thing?
Especially using the one that can’t be traced or tied back to any entity (Monero)
At that point it seems it would be trivial to convert into cash but also why would you have to if you could just use it between countries like that.
I mean I know people hatecrypto here but even they have to admit it seems like a better idea than getting no money through at all.
Lol well this depends on the crypto used and its hard to think that bank fees of any kind would be better than to just pay the fee to speed the transaction up.
Also, presumably they would use dummy wallets and not send amounts from their cold wallet with the full amount on it.
Idk, just seems like they deserve the trouble at this point if they can’t utilize the ways around it.
Not flexing. Its a way to make decentralized payments.
Why would they not utilize it more? I saw that Russia said they would and then they just keep talking about banks not accepting the cash.
Why would they not just use cryptpcurrency at this point?
Like, there is a solution right there. I don’t support either of their governments btw but I mean come on, the answer is right there
Eh, I would think that if they’re under fire for being a monopoly any non monopolistic actions like funding their rivals will be pretty well received.
Never had a phone run as well with any other OS
Micro G has to run on the root level. If that isn’t a concern for you then Graphene OS probably doesn’t fit your needs.
Sounds too European for the “land of the free”
Shit, Google would probably offer a private jet fuck an RV.
Its almost as if even the better party of the two still has its own agenda that its trying to fulfill.
One that isn’t necessarily in our best interests.
Of course there is a worse side of the coin but you gotta love how any time it is something that really fucks the people good (especially about privacy) they all suddenly magically agree and can pass it in moments.
The fact that even the most progressive one out of the bunch who’s supposed to be the way forward and should’ve had that nomination last time even voted yes on it should jolt everyone awake. But it will not.
We were warned about a two party system.
did you have the $45/month one or the $25?
