  • Is VoLTE not supported by default on GOS?

    Yes and no. e.g. see https://grapheneos.org/usage#carrier-functionality

    Wi-Fi Calling, VoLTE, Visual Voicemail, MMS, SMS, Calling and 5G (SA and NSA) all are supported, however some functionality may not be usable due to Google not supporting carriers on the stock OS officially or due to GrapheneOS not shipping proprietary apps required in order for this functionality to work on some carriers.

    Generally 5G, SMS, MMS, Calls and VoLTE will work fine on GrapheneOS with officially supported carriers by Google.

    Some carriers may restrict functionality, such as VoLTE, on imported Pixel devices as they only whitelist the IMEI ranges of Pixel device SKUs which were sold locally.

    And https://grapheneos.org/usage#lte-only-mode

    VoLTE / VoWi-Fi works on GrapheneOS for most carriers unless they restrict it to carrier phones.

    So… it depends

    If your carrier is official supported by google, your carrier itself supports it and your device is not imported, it is likely to work.




  • Is there even a “before”? The very first release of Firefox was in 2004. Google started paying Mozilla in 2004. The only time there was no funding from Google was 2014-2017. In that time Yahoo took over that part.

    There was however the 2 year period from 2002 - 2004 when Firefox was still “Phoenix” which was mostly funded by AOL.

    To my knowledge, there is not a single moment in the life of Firefox when it has had to get by completely without external funding. And 95% of that time, it was Google.
















  • The driver shows up as “cups + gutenprint” and as far i can tell there is no other. so i guess that is already the one and only available driver.

    and i have to correct myself, it is a Canon, not a Brother. Canon MX300 from 2007.

    I mean it is not that big of a deal anyway. there is a single Windows machine left in this household that i can use for print jobs. and yeah, maybe i could use it as print server, that is actually a interesting idea lol.

    Printer are worse. try to get a decade old brother to print more than a half page without completely freezing and needing a hard restart. driver is unmaintained unfortunately.

    on Windows the printer works perfect though. which makes me quite unhappy :|

    wifi on the other hand is not a problem i can remember. even on a 15 year old laptop, the AUR has a driver that it extracts from a ancient .deb and then patches it to make it work with modern kernels. lovely.
