What they’re doing in regards to the environment and paying their workers fair wages (throughout the entire supply chain) is great - unfortunately their security practices aren’t. I think buying a Pixel second hand is the best option, it also saves you some money. You already get extended security updates by using GrapheneOS, as they provide full OS updates for the entire period in which Google supplies (firmware) security updates (which tends to be a few years more than they provide Android feature updates. e.g. the Pixel 6a gets 3 years of feature updates but 5 years of security updates. GrapheneOS provides feature updates for the full 5 years).
I wouldn’t recommend anything older than a Pixel 6, because the 5a will reach its EOL in August, and all the older devices already reached their EOL. Regarding the modem, I don’t know what you are talking about, I never had any issues on the 6a and the 7 Pro, and never heard about such issues. But feel free to explain this to me.
Enjoy your spyware-free degoogled experience! Feel free to dm me if you have any questions. I’d say I’m quite experienced with GrapheneOS, degoogling and Android in general.
As far as I can see, no. But what benefit would that really have? Network settings (including mobile networks) are global. The only thing that’s profile-specific is your VPN setting. You can only disable a profile’s ability to use the phone/SMS feature. Profiles generally manage apps, user data and some settings.
Ok that actually makes sense. I just realized that the fucking iPhone has this feature, but Android doesn’t. GrapheneOS doesn’t implement any custom features that aren’t privacy/security related. And no, unfortunately you don’t get a second VPN slot either.
Pretty hard. If you don’t have prior experience with the AOSP codebase, I’d say it’s impossible. But if you want to get started, this is how to build GrapheneOS from source: grapheneos.org/build
There might be an easier way to accomplish this. The RethinkDNS app has a built-in Firewall and WireGuard VPN client. It also allows you to configure per-app Wifi and cellular data separately. The only caveat is that you would need to manually import the WireGuard profiles from your VPN provider.
I’m waiting for some FOSS developers to hack this thing and run custom firmware on it. Or someone who creates their own “Car Thing” using an Arduino or Raspberry Pi.
Both. Buy physical media, rip the audio files and put them on your selfhosted music server (e.g. Navidrome). Or pirate the music and buy some merch to compensate the artists.
EcoFlow’s $200 PowerStream is so clever, you might buy a $4,000 solar generator (www.theverge.com)

The degoogling process progress! (piped.video)
I’ve seen that LTT made a video about degoogling our lives, that’s a great point that a big youtuber like him would make videos like this!
