Is the issue only present on the phone? If you were to clone the phones Mac address on a laptop or desktop and connect it do you get the same results?

yeah but go fucking vote anyway if you havent.

I recommend this list for a (non-comprehensive) list of banks that work without GApps

Otherwise check if your bank offers a website. Thats usually an easy way to get around the dependency.

edit: and check if your bank will work with MicroG instead of GApps

tell minorities to throw away their one real lever of power.

Well let’s examine what was said…

You gotta get the pro-trans candidate in the primary. If you wait to look up if your candidates are anti-trans until right before the general then you waited too fucking long.

hm. Well then. I wasnt aware advocating for pro-trans candidates was throwing away trans rights. TIL. I guess next election all queer people should sit out, as to not throw away our rights. This seems like a good and well idea.

she was bankrolled by data centers and this order has no teeth

meanwhile, at OSM, nothing has changed

The security model of GrapheneOS and CalyxOS are similar on this specific issue. They drop support after OEM support has ended because the proprietary drivers that are borrowed from the official ROM stop being updated. It introduces an unpatchable security hole unless someone can reverse engineer all the proprietary drivers and keep updating them with security fixes, and even then, hardware security flaws may eventually surface.

LineageOS and iodéOS are good for keeping older devices working as long as you are okay with a looser threat model (not having those hardware level security updates, and not having the extra features provided by Graphene or Calyx)

postmarketos is a Linux distro aimed at reverse engineering those drivers to allow supported phones to live even longer. However, the team doesnt recommend ANY devices for daily driving. The OnePlus 6T and Pixel 3 are recommended for people who want a tolerable experience but they are not perfect. The Pixel 6 series was recently supported, but Im not even sure if they have graphics drivers working yet. (not to mention, pmos has no security features outside of LUKS encryption. No measured boot, no sandboxing, no fine grain permission control etc)

Theyre also losing CalyxOS support but I figured it wouldnt hurt to mention

If you care about security in any capacity I would advise against a flip phone

My bank currently works but in the past it hasnt and the website worked just fine for the period of time the app didnt work.

It will not affect GrapheneOS (or any custom ROM built without unsandboxed Google Services) as the delivery method for the update requires Google Play services have full admin access to the device to install it.

At this time it is currently better to go with a custom Android ROM. Linux phones are currently have almost 0 security. I say almost 0 because postmarketos does support LUKS encryption, but only on some devices, and pmos uses an “upstream kernel” update model for devices, so a lot of the drivers for supported phones are not fully complete.

None of them have sandboxing, or measured boot, and excluding postmarketos, none of them get driver level security updates either.

You can probably get rid of it by installing GrapheneOS, CalyxOS, iodéOS, or LineageOS, unless youre in the US and bought the phone from Verizon

Its a bribe? I wasnt aware of that. That fucking sucks.

So they designed a phone for the US audience only to leave out 33% of the US audience by not supporting Verizon towers… do they want to fucking fail here??

I’m not entirely sure on all the details but I believe there may have been something with them having to get signatures on petitions for getting their names on the ballot but I’m not actually familiar with the details.

They can run independent but VA is generally not known for supporting independents. One of the guys who was running for senator is trying it but im not sure he’ll get anywhere.

Thr Virginia dem primaries got fucked over and theres no other option. They pretty much told all the other possible runners to fuck off in march before primaries even happened.
