Yeah, but it’s still Android… Yuck.
- fartcannon 4y agoI actually even go further and degoogle my android phones so it's just this quiet, open source minimalist utopia. It's magnificent.
- ThunderSizzle 4y agoGive me a third option. Both Android and iPhone are inferior products compared to even Windows 10 in terms of what control I have on my device
- px43 4y agoWhat a crazy thing to say. Do the konami dance on Android to set your device to developer mode, and it literally gives you a root shell on a Linux system with a completely open source OS that you can tweak, complile, and reflash yourself. That whole process is simple enough that any given 10 year old can figure it out in a weekend and have complete control over their device if they want it, no fancy exploits or anything required. The fact that Windows 10 has zero protections WRT physical or app security is not something to be proud of.
- easrng 4y agoYou can't root or reflash all android phones. You can use the adb shell without root but it... isn't root.
- px43 4y agoYou can't root or re-flash all Windows devices either. It's an open platform, so of course there are a ton of bad actors in the space who are going to add their own garbage and try to prevent people from removing it, but if you buy a phone from a reputable source, it's going to let you put it into dev mode. Obviously don't buy the malware encrusted garbage sold directly from shady telecom companies etc.
