You are the man, thank you for so many helpful tutorials over the years!

I mean, it's more or less a matter of how extensively you configure your phone with @GrapheneOS. I use several sandboxed profiles—in doing so, yes, it is tedious to use, and you lose in comfort and speed, but in the end, it is your decision on how to handle it. The one and only problem I have is with my banking application: I can't really install it, so I have to use a second phone just for that. 😅

So, basically, if you are lottery/solo mining; chances are now a bit better? 🤣

Yes, i'm using the "Comandante c40" for more than 5 years now, still sharp, highly recommend.

True that 🤣

Yes, i was also recently buying a model that at least has no mandatory eSIM on board, i was able to simply remove the sim-card that was sending all my data abroad. Tinkering with newer models (according to several forums) is really hard, it is basically not possible to strip away camera/sensors etc without ruining the car. Removing eSIM is also not possible, i think.

I was never thinking about cars & privacy in detail. You helped me a lot in doing that for my setup at home, thanks for that! 😁

But it makes no sense, doing all the effort for your pc/smartphone whilst getting spied in your car 😅 Tough times.
