You tell people not to use PGP, then recommend using Signal.
Signal requires a phone number and phone to sign up. The Signal backend server is run by Signal Messenger LLC. As far as I understand, you can't run your own backend server, there's some restriction there.
Signal's encryption is open and audited/auditable, and is convenient however it's not widely implemented in a public manner (Whatsapp and some other sites apparently use it; have consulted with Signal.)
I know PGP has flaws, the other replyee posted a link even.
But in less than 5 minutes, for free, and without violating my privacy to captchas or barbaric service terms, I can:
- Sign up for a brand new email address from a privacy respective service, on (almost) any device/system
- Generate a PGP keypair on (almost) any device/system
- Share the pubkey with a receiver
- Instantly send encrypted content
Is it more inconvenient than installing Signal? Yes, but it's far more flexible.
And I agree with the other replyee, this reply sounds more like a dislike of SHA-1, which is fine, rather than "don't use PGP".
Anyway, yes everyone who uses proprietary or anti-user messaging platforms should move to Signal/Matrix.
I can't speak for Anbox support on Pinephone, but regarding your bank's Android app it probably uses Google Safetynet, which I don't think Anbox has support for, or will ever support. Without Safetynet the app will probably not function, or will function with limited features.
Ironically I'll link a Samsung [1] but there are options.
Home theater enthusiasts (ugh) will of course berate you because "YOu'RE PaYING MORE For LESS FeAATURES!!", which is true. I haven't yet found a commercial display offering Dolby Vision.
The term you're looking for is "Commercial Signage" or "Large-Format Displays" [1]
This is of course US based but there are other vendors for North America, and I'm sure for EuroAsia and beyond.
You're paying more for the fact that some models are built to last longer, and the fact there's no wireless or smart junk.
From their last major newsletter they are planning cable service rollout eventually, probably on Rogers. It's active in some low-income housing already I think.
The stopper for Bell Fiber FTTH is Bell blocking resale of service on their pure fiber lines to 3rd parties. I don't remember any specific dates but the CRTC is bound to hopefully force their hand one day.
I am too hoping they one day offer it, I love NCF.
Hello fellow NCF user! I love their network and customer services.
The price is higher than other 3rd parties but everything else about them is perfect for an ISP. Painless, accessible, simple signup with excellent, stable service.
