And just by virtue of it being built on the Android open source project, that's a great thing.
Just don't call it totally unhackable.
Because a guy like me, I don't need but a week or two to tell you on this current build, like, here's the hole in this Swiss cheese.
Now, is it far better than having a Google phone?
with standard firmware and standard OS or an Apple phone.
I don't know about Apple because again, you asked me about Apple and I said, I don't know Apple.
I don't know what's happening at the top of that company, but I know that they like to monetize people and that's pervasive in my mind.
And using data that people don't know is getting used, even though it's in a 40 page terms of services document is pervasive.
So I just don't know what that highest level of analysis is.
And that's why I said to answer your question about the safest phone, I would ask you what you're using it for, who you are and what are you doing in the world is the best way to answer that question.
I mean, I wouldn't want to.
I mean, OK, I'll tell you generally what I would say, because you might ask me that question one day because we go back and forth about a lot of tech.
I know specifically what I would recommend for you to do.
And I'd even tell you to hire someone else to do it, not me.
Um, because that just, that checks and balances is what I would want.
But, um, for you, I would say you should take something like a, um, a raspberry pie and you should run wire guard on your phone and you should route all of your internet traffic through something like a home terminal at your house through a raspberry pie using something like wire guard, um, which is a VPN that I use.
You know, everything should be routed through that.
