  • eBay is fine. Just check the seller's reputation first before buying.

    If overall positive feedback is greater than 99%, and they've sold hundreds of items, then there's no problem buying from them.

    I've bought dozens of phones from eBay over the last two decades, never had any issues.

  • By checking whether the bootloader is unlocked or not. If the bootloader is unlocked, then all bets are off, but if the bootloader is locked, you can only run the original, unmodified firmware. Any alternation to the firmware will result in the dm-verity check failing, causing the system to not boot at all. The only data which can be altered is user data, which is wiped in a factory reset. So a factory ressr definitely gets rid of it.

    If you're paranoid though, you could always flash the stock firmware downloaded directly from the manufacturer's website, which will override all system partitions, so you can be absolutely sure there's no spyware - besides the spyware included by Google etc of course, or the spyware embedded into the hardware by the chip manufacturers...

  • This sort of scam would only work for sellers with zero/bad reputation. Only an idiot would buy from a seller like that.

  • I'm not OP, but why do you keep calling these people "Hindu" supremacists? They are just extremists and terrorists, not Hindus at all.

    One of the core beliefs in Hinduism is ahimsa, ie, non-violence. Practicing ahimsa is extremely important for a Hindu, in order to achieve their ultimate goal of moksha (escape from the cycle of reincarnation) by accumulating good karma.

    Anyone who doesn't practice ahmisa isn't qualified to be called a Hindu. Since they're not a Hindu, it's wrong to call them "Hindu supremacists", when there is no "Hindu" in them.

  • "So when are you going to buy a car / house / get married / have kids? "

    All of which I'm not interested in. Just leave me be and let me do my own thing. Being single, free of debt, and enjoying life shouldn't be seen as an abnormal thing.
