    Denying reality isn’t realistic either.

    Knowing your threat model and being aware of your tradeoffs and decisions is useful. Maybe security isn’t more important than longevity, but the phone owner should be making a deli rate choice.

    With the new pixels having 7 years of support things are improving. It would be nice for them to open source the hardware specs at the end of the support window…

      Who’s going to be digging into the depths of a 5+ year old phone on the off chance they can find a baseband vulnerability though?

      Even if they do find something, the number of people for them to exploit is probably going to be vanishingly small.
