Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    OnePlus no longer supports that as of ~ColorOS~ OxygenOS 12 unfortunately.

    That's a bummer. Seems like Google Pixel and Fairphone are the only ones left. I don't even know why manufacturers wouldn't allow for relocking or even unlocking of their phones. I can't imagine they make much money with user data and the phone is already paid for. Warranty claims shouldn't be much of an issue either, as modifications can be easily detected and it's likely not a relevant amount of people anyway.

    As I understand it, the stated purpose is to prevent supply chain attacks and ultimately possible damage to their brand. In practice many of these same vendors ship their own spyware and do not want it removed.
