Some governments (like Russia) have deployed behaviour (i.e. not just DPI) based VPN detection which reliably kills VPN sessions, however these are wrapped. I am currently not aware of a way to circumvent this. Presumably, this will require camouflaging as a user browser session.

Still waiting for it.

HBM are thinned die stacks which are assembled at the GPU periphery using silicon interposers. My AMD GPU has HBM. In case of HBM overproduction post-bubble we might see resurgence of GPUs with HBM rather than GDDRx.

Which is why you pick hardware to support the OS you want.

Buy a Pixel, install GrapheneOS. Or look into Lineage OS supported hardware.

Yes, the proxy war (hot since 2014) is a long-term project, its roots reaching back to the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. A few gigabucks buys you a regime change. Less for states like Nepal.

It’s a time-tested color revolution recipe from the CIA playbook.

They have open source support on Linux.

Hence, a new OEM.

GrapheneOS is not limited by Google, as long as the bootloader is unlockable and Google contnues releasing the sources. Longterm, the GOS project needs to support alternative hardware platforms.

There are Linux tablets, so if Android is dead open source developers will support these.

That’s rich, coming from the tas de merde himself.

I’m writing this on a GOS Pixel tablet with only free/libre installation sources. There are quite enough applications to install.
