Noone's talking about lab creation, but rather the fact the research institution in question specializes in virology. So they would go into the field(/bat caves in this case) to collect virus samples to bring back to the lab in Wuhan to study (as that's literally their job).
Mistakes happen, and a researcher could have simply been infected by one of these collected samples before going onto infect other people.
Here's the news that broke earlier this week:
The reality is that right now: noone knows which theory is correct.
Some of the underlying libaries are in C, but yes; there was some discussion on their IRC about potentially using Rust instead.
Nope, just a Graphene user, and in case it wasn't clear to you; I meant "linked us" as in you put a hyperlink into this Lemmy thread to give to us.
Funny how you instantly recognised the “group account”, when it is run by Micay himself
I think it's reasonable to presume that the founder of GrapheneOS would own the official GrapheneOS account on reddit. You're the one that literally linked us to the discussion, so I'm not sure what point you're trying to make with this.
Well, one of my friends owns a Fairphone, and they told me that the worst thing about it is that Android updates take a age to be released: https://forum.fairphone.com/t/android-11-has-arrived-when-will-we-see-it-on-our-3s-and-3-s/64273/6
Whereas I had Android 11 on my graphene phone a few weeks after it was released by Google.
Ignore them, they don't have a clue what they're talking about.
The Graphene group account actually gave some good replies to that thread - you just don't have a clue what you are talking about. The dev doesn't solely trust Google just because - as they've stated many times - there just aren't good alternative phones with decent security baselines.
I'm not even sure what you mean by "technical support for custom firmware" - Graphene pushes firmware updates with their OTAs.
Yes, Graphene is only officially supported on Pixels at this time.
You can say that for absolutely any phone/device in existence. As for Graphene, I've ran tcpdump on my router for a week against the device's IP and confirmed that it only talks to the documented default connections on their site.
Well, I just read this article by Daily Mail, so we'll have to see what the research says when it's published.
