When buying Google Pixel you're telling them what you want from them, good and secure hardware that other companies don't offer.

As a consequence maybe more hardware manufactures will try to fit this market too, creating competition 👀

It's insecure and not PRIVATE for a lot of reasons, some of them:

- Leaves unlocked bootloader

- More attack surface by adding bunch of system-app to AOSP

- No basic privacy features like "Contact Scopes", "Storage Scopes" and network Permission to deny network access for apps

Fake, It's the best option for custodial Lightning

AND, the Google Pixel is the only device right now that fits in the security requirements of GrapheneOS, it's project's fault

It's better to buy the devices and make them to move their business to hardware manufacturing than using Google services

What kind of proof is it?

If you’ve seen Sour Grapes, you know the story:

A guy sold millions of dollars of fake "fine wine".

The reason his scam worked reveals something deeply engrained in the wine industry.

Most wine drinkers are being fooled. Just in a different way.

Rudy Kurniawan blended cheap wines and passed them off as rare Burgundy.

He wasn’t exposed because something tasted off.

He got caught because some of his labels didn’t match historical records.

That’s how easy it is to manipulate wine.

People trusted the story, not the contents.

Wine is ephemeral.

Every bottle changes every year and every hour after opening.

There is no fixed flavor to test against.

You could open five identical bottles and each one would taste a little different depending on how it was aged.

That’s part of the beauty. But it also makes it easy to hide behind.

The wine Rudy made wasn’t necessarily fake. It was engineered.

He used blending, additives, and packaging to mimic the character of rare bottles.

That same playbook is used across the wine industry.

Only now, it’s considered standard practice.

Most grocery store wine relies on:

- Low-grade grapes

- Oak flavoring

- Sugar

- Concentrates

- Lab-designed enzymes

It’s a formula made in a lab, sold with a story that is designed to make it feel like art.

The same confusion Rudy exploited is what allows commodity wine to dominate.

A wall of bottles, branded with warmth and tradition, hiding a product built through food science.

The wine world keeps you in the dark. On purpose.

How do you avoid this?

You don’t need a cellar or a huge budget to drink something real.

You just need to get closer to the source.

Shake your winemaker’s hand. Ask questions.

No one worth buying from will make you feel small for wanting to understand.

If they do, they’re part of the act.

The wine industry sold its soul.

And most people are still drinking the lie.

I make Unfiltered Wine in Colorado and am happy to answer any questions.

If this helped you understand wine differently, give this post a reNOST, it really helps me keep doing these.

Every Wine is Wine

Google Pixel or iPhone?
