- bhelkey 3y ago> To unlock your device you need an unlock code This appears strictly worse than Google.
- kuschku 3y agoIt's precisely the same as with Google, just that Google does it directly via an API call and Sony does it with you manually typing the code.
- bhelkey 3y agoHaving to find a website, find identifiers from ones phone, go through the form, and enter the unlock code is a non trivial barrier to entry. There is a huge difference between the two approaches.
- Zuiii 3y agoYeah, sony's is the better approach because it doesn't force me to connect the device to the internet. Both are deplorable practices.
