He was just one punctuation mark removed from saying what he meant.

I was a little confused as to the point of your first post on this page to be honest. You told people not to create posts in ED's help section, which I took to be general advice, because the post above yours was in offtopic not the help section. Since I was so puzzled by the direction of your post, I perhaps would have been better advised to not post a reply, which you're welcome to blame me for, but to call my post unrelated when yours struck me as such seems a little low.

Edit: Oh hello new page! This post was in reply to Elw3's on the end of the last page.

About that... I originally announced my preorder by creating a thread in the Ask EvilDragon Questions section asking if he had seen my order yet.

It mysteriously disappeared.

 

[matzesu]

3 insiders There was at least one reply in that thread, already, but I don't remember by whom. So maybe there's even a fourth? Plus of course the mod, who took it down. Very exciting, very hush-hush.

It's an odd piece of intelligence to suppress, though. Maybe someone working for the Chinese govenment just doing some field training?

I meant more the 2 Insiders in the Title of the Thread, not the amount of allready made reply’s

@matzesu ? The thread's title was "Did you see ..." or something like that.
Well, I thought, you meant the ones who got to see the thread at all.

 

[matzesu]

No, I meant my new : „What’s your Ordernumber?, ....“ thread

Well that mod in charge said there was no censoring whatsoever.
I also think he is super smart and we should all obey his orders.

Strange, I thought we are all normal smart on this boards,
I only had a bad „Hauptschulabschluss“ if I remember correctly..

I hate those "Send from" lines. If you bought the phone, then why should you also have to advertise for it? I think it looks really dumb to to have such a line under a post.


Send from NixOS

 

[rygD]

Pretty sure it's Tapatalk that does it.

 

[matzesu]

It was from Tapatalk, i thought I disabled it years ago; but unfortunately something enabled it,
It’s now gone, sorry

I'm pretty sure that everyone was pretty sure of that.

I do not mind you having them. I meant that I would hate to have those lines myself. I do not mind it if other people have it. It's similar to how I think about having a sign that says "I'm a moron" attached to one's back in that I would not want to have such a sign on my back because it would look stupid but I do not mind it at all if other people want to and do wear such a sign on their back.

My Plan for this year is to use my Pyra for Boards, General Internet Browsing, YouTube, Movie Streaming etc, and as my Work PC at home , so this IPhone want get used that long anymore for this ..
Then the IPhone is only for SMS, WhatsApp, Musik and to make phonecalls
So even if I ditnt deactivate the signature, as far I get the Pyra, it’s my Main Computer..

 

[levi]

Yes, Pyras wont run tapatalk or likely anything else that automatically advertises itself in your internet posts. If you're posting from any kind of proper computer including a Pyra you'll just use your keyboard and the words should appear exactly as you type them (which isn't the same as what you intended to type all of the time, but that's nobody else's fault).

I think I once read about webdevelopment software that places "Best viewed with Internet Explorer" or something like that at the bottom of the websites that are made with it. That is horrendous. Imagine advertising for a shitty browser from a shitty corrupt company on your own website. Personally I'd almost rather have a picture of my ass at the bottom of any website I make than that horrendous message.

That's quite the upgrade. From a proprietary spy prison to an open privacy respecting device. I'd personally prefer to use my Pyra for calling as well but it's shape is not very well suited to that and of course it would need extra software for that too (including recording software since I must be able to record my calls (and no that is not spying because it'll only allow me to record what is being said to me and not what is being said in private)) so I'l probably keep using Samsung for that until I can get something better like the PinePhone.

I'd class android running on a Samsung much more likely to be spyware, given google's usual predilictions. Apple actually charge people enough to make it more worth their while to be reasonably secure, although given the size of them as a target and their predilection over graphical fancy over actual honest tying down holes in code means they more often seem to end up patching after the event nowadays.

I think the most likely possibility is that both Android phones and iPhones are spy bricks. I'm not endorsing Android. Android is shitty and I only got one because I needed it for my job. If the Pyra gets phone software then I might still just buy a headset or something like that to try to make using the Pyra as a phone work since I'd love to not depend on Android anymore.

The iPhone is not secure because Apple has monetary incentive to spy on the user. The iPhone user is basically trusting a company —that cares the most about profit and refuses to be open about what they're doing— to not sell his data for money.
Of course Android is not any better. It's locked down, a lot of it is closed source, and since invading privacy is Google's specialty there's a good chance that Android spies on it's users.
