- tracker1 10y agoIn general, I'm just opposed to locked down platforms... I may never install a 3rd party build of anything on my phone, but I tend to buy phones that I could. I'm still pissed at Asus (and the FCC) for locking down my latest router (no tomato option).
- bostand 10y agoOff topic: I don't think Asus had much of a choice in that particular case...
- tracker1 10y agoHence the (And the FCC) comment... there's a number of things that Asus could do. Certify third party firmware configs. Abstract the radio firmware interface to lock down certain bandwidth ranges, and signal power. I know it can take a while... still pissed about it.
