AFAIK major contributor into low Chinese EV prices are subsidies and tax breaks for manufacturers. I know they have significant tax breaks in US. It would be interesting to see how they compare. Because if they are mostly on par this is pure corporate greed stopping them. Especially in case of Tesla. They are not overpaying workers and don’t use luxury materials
I don’t know. Maybe read article. It says „Korean military”. According to them stock Android with 3rd party security app is acceptable and has no security concerns. Article itself highlights that 3rd party security apps are inferior and security holes in Android OS are basically neglected by Korean military since they will be addressed in updates at some point.
OS does not matter when approach to security so superficial. Judging by this article Korean military has less robust security practices than some banks.
Everyone here talking about some hypothetical Android based custom OS built for Korean military which does not exist and it is not what Korean military doing. They are allowing stock Android OS with „security app”. Not surprised they are not building custom OS because it is economically idiotic idea. You need army of cyber security experts familiar with Android OS architecture that will review whole OS code and customize for military. Then you need to pen-test it and keep on doing it on each upstream OS update or fork it and maintain internally. Which is another can of worms coz you’ll need to make sure internal fork works fine with up-to-date versions of apps. Otherwise you just have dumb smartphone with higher risk of vulnerabilities in outdated apps. At this point as I said, just force sensitive staff to use dumb phone or internal landline.
And don’t tell me “but Samsung is Korean they can do it for Korean military”. It doesn’t not change the fact that it will cost astronomical amount of money and time. Can Samsung do it? Probably yes. Will Korean military be able to offer enough money to probably the only local company that can do it which also has revenue of approx. 20% of Korea’s GDP. I doubt.
Any software is “trust me bro” or you personally read through all source code of all software you are using? Question is can you make accountable bunch of folks from github or legal entity?
I’ll tell it again. You’ll have security concerns on any Internet/Bluetooth capable device. There is no software without vulnerabilities. There is software in which vulnerabilities were not found, yet. Also, the biggest attack vector is human
Lol. Android phones definitely have no security concerns. Any internet/Bluetooth capable device can be potentially compromised. Just use Nokia 3310
As a non-native speaker I find woman more offensive than female. Noun male/female puts all as equal. Girls, boys, birds, ponies. Woman, though, seems to be de-attached. Especially when talking about humankind it’s common to refer to humans as just „man”. „No man been there”, „for all mankind”, „dog is a man’s best friend”. As it applies to man only and woman doesn’t count
I like (no) how everyone knows this is about everybody’s mental health but you can only push things these days if iT iS aBoUt cHilDrEn or other touchy topic. Apparently adults can’t have mental health issues I guess, otherwise how will they do their jobs for cents
What do you mean obsolete? People who buy new phone every year will buy new one regardless of is it iPhone or Android.
iPhones actually last longer, especially flagship models. My iPhone 5s (2013) was with me for 7 years and still in use by my relatives. It got around 6 years of iOS updates. Even my low-end iPhone SE (2 gen) from 2020 runs perfectly and still gets latest iOS.
Thank you. This actually gives perspective on radiation level better than Rads
My first reaction what like ”yes, of course!”. Then I realized you are talking about others people’s phone, not about choosing your phone :D
The only good reason I can see is privacy since SMS not encrypted. But those people most likely ask to switching to Insta, WhatsApp or other BS platform, so I doubt it’s about privacy. The only logical reasons left - they are addicted to those platforms / they value platform more than you / they just PoS
Half of it is fragile CEO ego reply
See no problem as long as person genuinely likes branding, not because “flex”. For example i have Adidas Original hoodie and I like it has huge logo coz it’s iconic design of hoodie from golden era of hip-hip and break dance. I would never wear same from other brand or even “three stripes” logo from the same brand.
