But can you really be sure that it doesn't connect to another network? i have to check again but if i recall correctly there are TVs that try to connect to other open networks or even look for other TVs from the same manufacturer and connect through those to the internet. I have to double check this again, so take this with a grain of salt
i can especially relate to the last part, it's so freeing to feel in control of my phone!
The problem is that (as far as i know) only pixels fulfill their security requirements, for example that the bootloader is not only unlockable but also lockable. But I also would like to have more devices supporting it
I2P could be a suitable alternative for this. Although it is rather slow it still works and you dont have to worry about beeing exposed
Depending on the number and kind of seeders I would say that I can download a "normal" movie (2-3 GB) in arround 4-12 hours (sorry that i dont have some real numbers, I could check again later for that). So you probably won't be able to say "hey, i just saw this new i2p-torrent, lets quickly download it" but its defenitly usable, especially when building a library. The "worst" torrent I downloaded was like 50 GB of House M.D. that was seeded by just a single person, but after roughly 1,5 -2 Weeks it was done!
I'm loving it too! I am finaly feeling as if I am (mostly) in controll of my phone
While it's true that i2p torrents are slower than clearnet torrents the speed is not really as bad in my experience. I would say i can download most shows, movies and files in general in 1-2 days max (I know that is slow in comparison, but its OK if you are just building up your library, atleast for me). On average i would say a "normal 1080p movie" finishes in 5-6 hours (In my experience). The bigger Problem is sometimes the lack of torrents and seeders, although this is getting better
Für ein Paar wenige ist diese Statistik gerade so sehr nützlich
