I’m considering getting a Xiaomi 14 Ultra and I can get it pretty cheap with Chinese rom. I heard it’s not that hard to flash it and put in a Swedish/global rom. anyone with real experience? or do I keep the china rom and live with it?
I know you're being flippant, but it's worth noting that there is a considerable difference between a company getting hacked like this and an app with unfettered access to the cluster to sensors that we've got in our pockets.

For what it's worth I live in a country where the drinking water isn't flouridated. It's not a problem and it's certainly never made the news. I think easy availability of dental care, especially in schools since children tend to not be great at taking care of their teeth, is a bigger concern.
It’s a story from April, I tried seeing if it was posted before, however it’s the story about how the advertising and finance team beat the search team into submission by ousting the core person protecting it to pursue “growth” and “revenue” at all costs.
Perhaps "state managed" would be a better descriptor for Chinese private companies, since some now have personnel belonging to the CCP serving in management or board positions.
To further clarify, Maid Cafes in Japan do not provide sexual services. If that wasn't what was being referred to in this thread please ignore this message.
Just thinking back to the iPhone 6 which is 10 years old this year. I’m trying to work out if there are any features people use that weren’t available 10 years ago?...
With the advancements in technology, particularly AI now, what is the smartest smartphone in your opinion? And I don’t mean in terms of raw power or tech specs, but rather the likes of the OS, UI, or features and functions.
I did this recently. It's nice to have entirely sandboxed Google services, and I like the dot that shows up when there's sensor access. Storage/Contact scopes are fantastic. There are a couple of cons though, such as not having Call Screen, and no form of any charge limiting / charging control for battery life.
It's a good experience and I can recommend it whole heartedly. Use an external way of controlling the charging to protect the battery, GrapheneOS' developers aren't well informed when it comes to battery management.
I don't think anyone would've complained if the localization's quality was on-par with AA or Vagrant Story, but it looks to me like that isn't the case.
Things like Fat Acceptance and trying to normalize being obese are part of the issue. Being obese is not physically healthy and there should be appropriate social pressure to counteract that.
