Ah yes, a third party OS provider for phones telling people that phones are more secure. How convenient. Of course the driver blobs, that he has no idea of, are far more better written than those on traditional hardware! Manufacturers are just that nice to us on phones even though there's no laws stipulating it!!

Also the idea that phones get more up to date firmware is a joke when after 2-3 years vendors straight up stop supporting them with the exception of a few like Samshit and Apple that will at least give security updates up to 5

Windows 11 may have TPM, Secure Boot and Pluton but they have AI-hallucinated security vulnerabilities in the code. Windows gets "security updates" every month yet it still gets ransomwared. "The Maniac is in the Mailbox".

wrong. you can have the best of both worlds, but it just so happens their flavor of (((safety))) means forcing you into their wholly-controlled markets where they can rent-seek you freely.

Also why is it that Xbox is more secure than Windows? It can only mean that Microsoft wants Windows to be pirated vs pirating Xbox games.

Only glowfags want this association.
Maybe in the real world, you can argue:
>oh yeah? But you don't have the freedom to murder people! If everybody would have that freedom, you would be less safe, chud!
But in electronics and software, less freedom pretty much always, without fail, leads to less safety.
In the context of Graphene OS, we have a decade of Titan M vulnerabilities that wouldn't have been an issue if it would be OpenSource, or if you wouldn't have that chip in the first place.

sure, lets cut his post down:

>No, it's not safe
wrong
>It will have a ton of unpatched vulnerabilities
less than a new device
>including for WiFi
what?
>Bluetooth
glowfag bullshit nobody should use
>and the GPU
nobody cares about memory vulnerabilities on a GPU, GPUs are an extremely stupid target
>Firmware updates are important
What is more important, is to cut down the amount of firmware blobs you use.
The radio firmware on a Pixel 7 is 50 MB, the firmware for my laptops Wifi is 500 kB
>security standards and expectations for mobile are far higher than desktops
wrong
>Traditional desktop hardware, firmware and operating systems are far less secure
wrong

lmao'ing @ this guy
PCs had TPM, Secure Boot, and SELinux years before phones.
The only edge phones have is their Orwellian app stores and sandboxing, which PCs can do too.
And even then, Facebook spent years exploiting the fact that apps could bind to localhost without firewall prompts, as long as they had internet permissions.
Absolute joke.

Yes this is seriously what they claim. I once made the mistake of listening to some podcast with the chief retard and they spent half an hour gushing about how secure it MUST be because they shot lasers at some TPM chip or something.

The thing phones are secure from is the user. They're "safe" and "secure" by taking as much control and freedom away from the user as possible.

This site has a "security and privacy" guide that gives poor advice with respect to encryption. Bitlocker and File Vault are proprietary and can therefore be assumed to have backdoors. Veracrypt should be preferred on all platforms due to the fact that it is not only open source, but also supports hidden volumes for deniable encryption.

True. Desktop/server OSes don't run apps in sandboxed and capped down JVMs like J2ME/Blackberry/Android. Android and iOS are not completely secure though, they still allow running native C/C++ apps. Still better protected than your average corporate machine.

Depends on your threat model, and how much you're willing to sacrifice usability for security.

The number one threat model is the United States government. As such, it does not make sense to use software and hardware that they are able to inject backdoors into regardless of technical superiority in other areas. For this reason I don't use my phone for anything that matters. If you don't care and the government (which is foolish, even if you think you are currently not a problem for them), then the sandbox model offered by phones will help protect you against ordinary criminals much better. Provided you don't deliberately break the sandbox.
