Cool.
My country has limited choice in phone OEMs. Soon the only unlockable choice will be Motorola.
And when they too stop allowing it, I guess I can go fuck myself🖕

The hell is the point of putting more powerful silicon in the damn things if they'll just keep restricting what you can do with them more and more each year?

I fucking hate tech companies, man.

Member back when you used to be optimistic about the upcoming innovation? Now the only "innovation" is enshitification.

The point of more power technology is to easily control their users more. The days of having "open" phones died with Nexus

I'm fragmenting my devices more and more.

I recently bought a cheap mp3 player, quit streaming, found new piracy routes for music, back to basics. Still use Spotify for browsing and finding new bands. All good.

I use a kindle and read ebooks a lot.

At the rate phones are going, I'll have a digital camera and a dumb phone soon.
