Frage an euch: Viele zögern, #GraphenOS zu installieren, obwohl es eigentlich recht einfach ist. Wie wäre es, wenn der Kuketz-Blog eine Dienstleistung anbietet, die die Installation gegen eine Aufwandsentschädigung von etwa 50 € übernimmt? Was denkt ihr – gäbe es dafür Interesse?

    @[email protected] @[email protected] Pixel 5a is end-of-life since after August 2024. Qualcomm SoC related vulnerabilities no longer get listed in Pixel security bulletins for September 2024 onwards since there are no Qualcomm SoC devices remaining. Pixel 6 and later are the Tensor SoC which is heavily based on Exynos including a Mali GPU and they have a Samsung cellular radio instead of Qualcomm. Still Broadcom Wi-Fi other than 7a which is standalone Qualcomm, but also Broadcom/Samsung GNSS instead of Qualcomm.

      @[email protected] @[email protected] You’re missing a couple dozen Critical/High severity patches and hundreds of Moderate/Low severity patches. You will not get any of those moving to DivestOS or LineageOS. We think it would be harmful for us to continue providing regular legacy extended support releases where people mislead themselves into believing it’s fine and they don’t really need to listen to us about it. Perhaps this helps you understand why we’re trying to get people to stop using these devices.

        @[email protected] @[email protected] Current Pixels have 7 years of support from launch rather than 3. Get a Pixel 9 or Pixel 8a, use it for 7 years and then replace it with another new device. You can send back the Pixel 4a to them as part of buying it directly from them they’ll pay you around $30 for it despite it being so old because they accept everything from the Pixel 1 with a floor on how low they go for the trade-in value.

        Pixels even have longer proper support than iPhones now unless Apple extends it.
