at some point really soon, people are gonna realize they should treat their phones like they do computers. - don't trust what comes from the factory - format and install your own os - remember the verizon in-q-tel debacle a few years ago? - dont worry, nobody else does either.

fThe ASUS live update tool that delivered malware to customers last year is installed at the factory on ASUS laptops and other devices. When users enable it, the tool contacts the ASUS update server periodically to see if any firmware or other software updates are available.

Replying to and
I absolutely did not leave of my own accord, and I am still actively developing and maintaining the original open source project: github.com/GrapheneOS. James explicitly agreed that we would build a business around the project, while I would retain control and ownership of it.
He changed his mind about that and broke our agreements, since all he cared about was earning money and he felt that I was becoming a barrier to that happening instead of being a useful tool to make that happen. He switched from taking advantage of me to trying to seize control.

I didn't give him control of the project despite the empty legal threats and ultimatums so he seized control of the infrastructure and pushed me out of the company. He stole the donations sent to the open source project and started using my code against the terms of the license.
