All the fucking people that actually know cryptography and are experts in their areas.
It's good to be inquisitive but at some point if a person is not qualified to understand either you gotta belief some authorative figure or pay someone you trust to go review the code if you still don't trust it.
Multiple experts have said for years that it's solid. There's audits out there. It's used in the most extreme places where people need to survive and commucate securely and governments keep screaming they need backdoors because they can't fo anything about it.
At some point the whole questioning it has to stop.
Continuing to eat garbage opinions from the internet and growing conspiracy theories eventually has a limit.
No, we know that, but people will still come scream here that you need a phone to register anyway. It's all the time the same people. Not realizing that is the easiest onboard that all the normies are used to and an easy way to control spam accounts.
Same. Have a laptop with a touch screen for many years now and recently just disabled the feature because I never use it. There were like 3 occasions that I did and thought to myself "maybe for this it's useful".
There's lot to be improved honestly. I have problems many times before device recognize each other that they are connected and am forced to open the devices settings and forcefully refresh them. Also I couldn't make it work for android tv last time I tried.
I got the smallest I found, supposedly the bootloader is unlockable, the problem is that no alternative OS builds for it... Asus zenphone has been good quality so far. Although I heard that more recent version had things locked... Not sure.
They are out there. I also have it around for those occasions. More common that you'd expect. Almost always some shitty site needed for work that has problems.
I have a thinkpad t470 from some years ago as my personal laptop has still works perfectly fine. I destroyed a few things in it, like usb ports and have some scratches on the screen, but linux support has always been good. Best think It has is the hardware design that if you drop liquids on top of it then it doesn't reach the motherboard. It saved it when I dropped a full latte on top and I really though it was gonna go to the trash... Fortunately I only had to buy a new keyboard that is something easy to replace.
Anyway, I will also need to buy a new computer soon fro work and am very interested in getting a framework laptop or another thinkpad if it has things like the great feature above still in place.
Also been eyeing with extreme interest some tuxedo laptops.
I have a dell xps from a few years around and wouldn't recommend it to my enemies. Just this week it froze and crashed 3 times. Obviously all related to the stupid nvidia and hybrid graphics it has... so maybe if you can get one without that shitty piece of hardware maybe it's fine.
