Neither. I prefer a completely open non-marketplace aka PC minus Windows 10. Phones in their current iteration are the death of device freedom. Sure there are work arounds for some things but they're band-aids on bullet wounds.
- fixermark 11y agoIt's a death of device freedom that is on-track to have over 2 billion adopters this year. Sounds a lot like "device freedom" isn't a feature people actually want.
- waspleg 11y agoOnly because they don't know what it is, nor largely that it exists, nor what it means for them to not have it. Most of the big tech companies prey on ignorant users these days in the most insidious and pernicious ways for their profits - to a far greater extent than the seemingly innocent things like making a quick buck because someone doesn't know how to snap in a DIMM. EDIT: Nor any viable alternative in the same form factor.
