What is a good gaming laptop with a gtx 1060 (or even gtx 1070 if reasonably priced), preferably 17" and SSD not required (have they gotten affordable now? is it useless to save on SSD cost by getting an HDD-only laptop?)?

Technically yes, but hairsplitting about such unimportant stuff that actually says nothing is far beyond functional autism.

>>58601603
Yes, but Windows code monkeys don't know the difference because most Windows APIs are available through either of those, many "programmers" don't really even know what the VS build button does (to be fair, the application's design doesn't really help) and much of C-style Windows code used to be full of MSVC C++-isms anyway.

how big is the chance of bricking your PC when you replace it?

If you just replace it as init, literally 0. Debian still ships with the legacy init scripts for sysvinit/openrc and even if that fucks up, in the grub menu you can choose to boot with systemd (just remember to update-grub2 after you install sysvinit-core)

Chink phablet with a good/decent camera?

Xiaomi Mi Max Pro Prime caught my attention but if there's anything better I'm all ears.
>>58601281
From what I read it was supposed to be released alongside the regular one but wasn't for some reason. Or maybe it was. Some info is confusing.

Prime/Pro are different names for the same model, some places use both. 4 GB of RAM instead of 3, Snapdragon 652 instead of 650, and 128 gb of storage.

Can't afford that shit. Neat, though.

Are there any ways to make phone calls and avoid the NSA spynet anymore?
There are apps but I wouldn't trust them with my pizza order.
What about so-called "encrypted phones" like the Blackphone 2 and others?
6 posts and 2 images submitted.
>>
No. Go in person you fat fuck
>>
>>58601192
Yes. Encrypt voice before it touches the phone via a special microphone that scrambles the analog signal.

You also have to ensure the phone is in a soundproof box so that it doesn't use the external microphones to listen to what you are saying anyway.
>>
>>58601192
Anything that goes to POTS is obviously doomed.

The RedPhone part of Signal does OK, as it uses ZRTP (good old PGPfone!), however the RedPhone part of the Signal server is not open-source. In general ZRTP is fine as long as you verify the key words out of band.

If you trust your server (and you should be running it yourself so you do), Mumble/murmur is actually encrypted somewhat better than ZRTP, uses Opus, and was a very early adopter of a strong AEAD (AES-OCB). So is WhatsApp (ironic, but this is an area that WA is better than Signal).

Metadata is always available and is probably always going to be available - voice is strongly affected by latency and so only low-latency mixnets can be used, which are subject to traffic correlation/confirmation attacks to some degree when faced with a global passive attacker like the NSA.

This is of course assuming your threat model is actually the NSA. It probably should be, because they are actually allowed to share unminimised data with the FBI, DEA, etc. now.

Why is Sony the only brand that still gives a shit about smaller phones that are somewhat high-end? Pic related is literally the only decent choice at 4.6" or less.

A few years ago 5.2" was considered a 'phablet'. Now it's the industry standard.

Probably because it's a Japanese company. Flip phones are still popular in Japan, which are fairly small in size. Hence why the small smartphones.
