The thing is that, despite owning rooted Androids, pinephones, and jailbroken iPhone (old days), I have found no real use personally for all the unlocked potential of those devices, beyond the fun and coolness of tinkering.
I need to access some photo from PC maybe once every year. I don't edit photos, or categorize them, and if I were to share them, it's likely that the channel already is on the phone.
Writing programs on the go? I have installed vim and emacs and set up a lot of crazy stuff on phones, but at the end of the day, I'd rather just carry a laptop. It's too hard to type on the phone regardless of what program you install, and if connected to a external keyboard, the screen is too small. I just don't have a scenario where I want to write programs while not able to bring a laptop.
In other words, the hardware and form factor is so limiting, that I don't find unleashing the software to be much of a use, even after spending a lot of time setting them up. I hope I can find some practical reasons, because I really like the tinkering, but I haven't.
(This is, of course, highly personal. A lot of people might find many practical use cases.)
- graphe 3y agoI used to set an 80% battery limit and want root for adblock and backing up apps. With a desktop chrome equivalent it becomes very useful even without root today. The iPhone gets better and better but I jailbreak for a clipboard that isn't a single paste.
