Woah ~~8~~ (probably 5 ) guaranteed years of security updates ~~they beat google to it~~ They didnt mention any security hardware updates like a secure element so probably no grapheneos support still though. Be a good travel phone though but dont expect security

Edit: Seems that their security updates will be limited

8 guaranteed years of security updates

Rolling release Linux distros: "...and?"

[-] cthonctic@kbin.social 12 points 2 years ago

Yeah that's really cool for all those Linux phones out there. Oh wait, there are like two and a half models in total and none of them are great? Damn.

[-] SkepticalButOpenMinded@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

This is great, and I hope they exceed it. 8 years is still less than what Apple’s oldest phones are getting. The 2013 iPhone 5s is still receiving security updates this year in 2023.

Any idea on when this will be available in the US? Looia like Europe only right now. I'd love to support this.

Also anyone smart enough to know if I can get this from a European if it would work normally on a US carrier?

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/live/LINxz4GwaOQ?si=K1ITTSD2i1YgGOjF

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

Am I doing something wrong? Because these links never work for me. I am using the Firefox browser (even with all extentions disabled). And have also tried opening them on my phone to no avail.

(I am aware I'm replying to a bot.)

Edit: Apparently Piped is American only. At least if my VPN is anything to go by. When I connected to an American server it works fine.

[-] Qkall@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

Hmm I wonder if something(isp or something) is blocking it for you. I opened it and the video loaded immediately

[-] FatTony@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Yup just tested it through a VPN.

[-] andyMFK@reddthat.com 2 points 2 years ago

Not American, works fine for me 🤷‍♂️

[-] FatTony@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Maybe you are but you just don't know it yet.

[-] coffeebiscuit@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Same here, it only seems to work after I clicked the youtube link first.

[-] Porridge@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

And still not available in the US 😞

[-] psychic717@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Looks great, but way too big for my taste...
