It’s n oh t really jacking up housing prices in Portugal. Only 33k ever used the golden visa route there and that includes the non-real estate investment options. That said , the perception caused them to eliminate the real estate investment route. The real issue in Portugal is they let 1 million people in on other visa types for a country that only has a population of 10 million.

Mexico is pretty easy. I think you can get a 5 year residency permit easily. Canada is harder and probably requires you to have a job lined up with an employer willing to sponsor. Or, you can go to school.
- Comment on If WW3 breaks out, what countries are going to be on which side? 3 days ago:
Canada, Europe, Ukraine vs Russia and Belarus
America, Japan, Taiwan vs China and North Korea.
Israel will use the opportunity to fully genocide Palestine, expand into Lebanon and Syria sparking a regional conflict there.
India vs. Pakistan
In practice, some countries will lose rapidly once the nukes fly and a lot of people will die.

I agree

If it’s GrapheneOS, he may have given them the wipe code. You enter a passcode and it deletes everything. So, CBP may have done this. In any case, fuck em.

CEOs have a higher rate of psychopathic traits than average. In order to get into a role like that, you are by definition, morally bankrupt.

I personally just don’t trust Intel. A lot of people just treat them as the default, but if you’ve been following the news for the last few years, there is a lot to be skeptical of quality wise.

- Comment on Quitting Spotify for Navidrome 1 week ago:
I used to be a very engaged music listener. I loved it and would put effort into listening to albums start to finish. When Spotify took over, my habits changed and now I don’t really actively follow music or pay much attention to what I’m listening to.

Still nothing. Can’t answer the question because you’re full of hot air.

Valve would build a compatibility layer and likely try to provide some incentive for game developers to provide ARM versions of their games.

Cellebrite is unable to crack the latest versions of iOS. It can break Android, unless the user has GrapheneOS.

Shh, don’t use logic here. Just hate Apple and fanboy hard for ad-supported Android.
- Comment on Israel’s IDF Bans Android Phones—iPhones Now ‘Mandatory’ 2 weeks ago:
Despite your verbose post, filled with ad hominem attacks and misdirection, you didn’t answer the question. Why did IDF switch to Apple iPhones and ban Android?
- Comment on Israel’s IDF Bans Android Phones—iPhones Now ‘Mandatory’ 2 weeks ago:
I have a degree in cybersecurity and my day job is in cybersecurity. You’re not actually making a point that makes any sense to the original argument. Also, you missed the point I made. You also seem to not really be capable of connecting the dots made by the article that you linked. It’s the same point.
Here is a question for you: if the issue is members of the IDF are falling for honeypots and social engineering, why then is the IDF restricting its members to using Apple iPhones?
Hint: the answer is in your article.
- Comment on Israel’s IDF Bans Android Phones—iPhones Now ‘Mandatory’ 2 weeks ago:
Here is something for you to read from the article you posted:
The Israel Defense Forces will tighten rules on mobile devices for senior officers and prohibit Android phones on IDF-issued lines, Army Radio reported on Wednesday.
Under the expected order, commanders from the rank of lieutenant colonel and above will be permitted to use only Apple iPhones for official communications. The step is aimed at reducing the risk of intrusions on senior officers’ handsets, according to the report
- Comment on Israel’s IDF Bans Android Phones—iPhones Now ‘Mandatory’ 2 weeks ago:
I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make. The article you link still shows Israel’s military requiring soldiers to use iPhones and not Android devices for security purposes. Just because a hack is achieved through user action doesn’t mean OS security can’t mitigate or aggravate an intrusion. It seems Israel is acknowledging that by setting this new requirement.
- Comment on Israel’s IDF Bans Android Phones—iPhones Now ‘Mandatory’ 2 weeks ago:
Oh nice, a non-response because you have nothing.
- Comment on Israel’s IDF Bans Android Phones—iPhones Now ‘Mandatory’ 2 weeks ago:
Talk about something of substance or don’t talk. If you aren’t citing security research or up to date details from Cellebrite’s technical documentation, then you’re not contributing anything. And, citing 6 year old articles as if it means something shows me I am more knowledgeable than you. I do have a degree in computer science and have studied security exploits. What about you? You’re an Android fan boy?
- Comment on Israel’s IDF Bans Android Phones—iPhones Now ‘Mandatory’ 2 weeks ago:
Fuck Israel, but I fail to see how this is Apple’s fault. Unless you mean it is Apple’s fault in the same way that it is GrapheneOS’s fault that criminals use their phones.

- Comment on Israel’s IDF Bans Android Phones—iPhones Now ‘Mandatory’ 2 weeks ago:
Useless response with no substance.
- Comment on Israel’s IDF Bans Android Phones—iPhones Now ‘Mandatory’ 2 weeks ago:
This is probably more because iPhones are harder to hack and the IDF has a lot to hide.
- Comment on Israel’s IDF Bans Android Phones—iPhones Now ‘Mandatory’ 2 weeks ago:
Your comments are embarrassing for you. Go get informed on mobile security. Cellebrite is well known for providing governments with tools to hack mobile OSes. Posting an article from 6 years ago shows how ill-informed you are on the topic. At least go find the most up to date information. It gets leaked periodically. Last I can find for iOS is Cellebrite can’t hack iPhones running the latest OS. It can hack Androids, unless they are using GrapheneOS.
As someone in tech myself, I’d rather have an iPhone than the average Android phone from a security perspective. If you really care about security and are willing to make some trade offs, use GrapheneOS.
