There is exactly one device produced in the entire US that can legitimately run graphene is in a usable way.

Not a monopoly my ass.

> Make cool hacker centric hardware. Make cool easy to use, locked down, and foolproof hardware. Both can and should exist.

Yes, what a splendid idea! Let me just invest a few billion I have lying around here. And maybe after that we can all take a spaceship to Mars and colonize it!

Get real.

Also, doesn't even fucking matter. Guess what, let's say I do invest the 10 billion dollars to make said device.

Will my bank allow it? No. Why? Because Google says so. Google says "no, that's not attested"

It doesn't matter if I make one device, two devices, or one trillion devices. Its still ALL Google. They decide everything.



That means there are infinitely more devices produced in the US that can run graphene than can run iOS. Seems like a weird metric.


What? Can you elaborate? This makes no sense to me.

There's only one device currently produced in the US which can run grapheneos. Grapheneos is the only custom rom which can get even an ounce of attestation.

There are many devices produced which can run iOS.


Zero iOS devices are produced in the US. Production is all China/India.


You very obviously know that's not what I meant, please do not play stupid.

I mean a device available to US consumers. The Google Pixel is ALSO not made in the US.


You were specific. Don't start throwing around insults for reading what you wrote and pointing out it seemed like a weird statement.

There's more than 1 device that run's GrapheneOS so the comment didn't make sense unless adding some extra constraints like where it's produced (which you did). I assumed you were being specific, not just making false statements. My bad.
