This is not a conversation about guns. This is a conversation about items that have withstood abuse that are near unbreakable.

Some items I have heard referenced as AK47 of:

Gerber MP600: It’s a multi tool

Old Thinkpad Laptops

Mag lights

Toyota Hilux

Google Pixel phones, with GraphineOS you can keep using it for a decade or more

I was under the impression that Graphene OS stops support for Pixel models at the same time as Google does.

Is there a reason why nobody has ported postmarketos to any of the pixel devices?

A lot of them have pretty good PostmarketOS support too, so can double down as a Linux server if you ever move on to another devicd

I have a Galaxy S3 somewhere, which is apparently supported by PostmarketOS. Interesting.
