[06:26] schestowitz[TR2] When Indians are running the show you can be sure, they will be manipulating the expenses and engaging in all sorts of corrupt practices that they are not supposed to be engaged in. Just consider IBM as the typical Indian run corporation where no one has a clue into whose pockets the money is running into. Is it Alvind, Krabanaugh or some other Pipmunks ? But at the end of the day, when there is word of an audit coming down, all th [06:26] schestowitz[TR2] e Indians run away because they cannot and will not answer questions about where the money disappeared to. They have misappropriated funds, bribed the leaders and lied about sales. Same as it ever was.

    User trust is a sacred, fickle thing

    Around mid-February, I went to my local electronics store. My intention was to buy a Pixel 8/9 phone. The reasons were, I had heard mostly good things about the devices. When I (wrongly) chose to buy my smartphone in late 2023, one ultra-annoying Samsung A54, the two other devices on my consideration list were the Pixel and the Fairphone, and perhaps, to some extent, maybe the iPhone, prim [10:11] schestowitz[TR2] arily because of the promise of long-term support and patching. Then, recently, I began warming up to the idea of testing GrapheneOS, and that one is designed for Pixels.

    [10:11] schestowitz[TR2]

    I didn't buy the phone, because the store didn't have any in their warehouse, so it was a question of going onto their website and buying there, or going into the store at a later date. I sort of let it simmer for a few weeks, and then I encountered SafetyCore. This rude, unwelcome surprise suddenly made me question whether I ought to get the Pixel, at all. And in turn, this conundrum spu [10:11] schestowitz[TR2] rred the writing of this article.
