People online were making fun at my old PC still running an FX 8350. That one was released before all this. Who’s laughing now? I’m only partially kidding lol.

No thanks

This device has been eol for years. It’s a major security risk. Get a supported phone.

I feel like a broken record at this point, but putting LineageOS on it still doesn’t fix the issue of no driver and firmware updates and you sacrifice secure boot, which makes the whole thing not worth it imo.

At least go for DivestOS which does support secure boot whenever possible. Even then, there’s no making an end of life phone secure. You can only do harm reduction.

Don’t use Lineage. It doesn’t even have secure boot. DivestOS would be a better option but keep in mind, there’s no making an end of life phone secure. All you can do is mitigate, like putting a bandaid on a bullet wound.

Tldr save up for a new phone and use DivestOS in the meantime for harm reduction only.

In the case of LineageOS which doesn’t even support secure boot, I’d argue no. You may have a look at DivestOS though. Keep in mind no matter what you do, there’s no making an end of life device secure. You can only do harm reduction. Basically putting a bandaid on a bullet wound.

That’s not a real solution since you’ll still miss out on driver and firmware updates. Worst of all, installing Lineage gets rid of secure boot. Which needless to say, isn’t secure.

Two years worth of known security vulnerabilities is VERY significant. That’s literally hundereds of them, at least.

Not justifying this in any way but the S9 hasn’t received security updates in ages. It’s the phone equivalent to still running Windows XP, it’s a major security risk. You should upgrade to some newer phone. Personally I like the Pixels since you can run GrapheneOS which definitely doesn’t have any ads and the newest models get updates for 7 years.

You wouldn’t download a car?

Fedora’s my favorite. It’s also the most secure without going straight to QubesOS, which is not beginner friendly.

Are they also banning the Viet Cong flag? Cause that’s basically what Hamas and Hezbollah are for their respective countries. Also, equating resistance movements with the Nazis is utterly disgusting.

US propagandists disgust me. Guess what the US regime would have said during the native American genocide if asking about it.

Somaliland is a country completely separate from Somalia. It’s just not internationally recognized. Somalia still claims it but that’s just a formality.

Of course they can. Somalia literally has no authority there.

The 4a is end of life and shouldn’t be used anymore.

Sure, the Nothing phone is a decent phone but it doesn’t really have anything to offer as far as privacy and security are concerned. On the contrary, I wouldn’t trust Nothing since their iMessage fiasco.

Those are plagued with security issues.

For best privacy AND security, Pixel 8 or 8 Pro with GrapheneOS. Nothing else compares. The Pixel 8 series are also the first that support hardware memory tagging, basically making them immune against 70% of all exploits.

Anyone who defends Israel at this point is a genocide denier.
