Why can’t a manufacturer just decide that they don’t want people jailbreaking their devices? It’s a black hole of a use case to support, especially when there are plenty of open Linux-based platforms for power-users to hack away on
- trealira 3y agoWhy are you arguing? I don't have any control over what manufacturers do. I'm glad there are open platform equivalents, like the PinePhone and Steam Deck. I just hope businesses like that keep existing, or else there'll be no way for you to control your devices without building them yourself. It empowers manufacturers and disempowers the individual user, even though the law hasn't changed. That's why I said it's mixed, not unilaterally good or bad. Maybe it'll be good in the long run by making people buy from platforms like that if they want control, promoting legitimate business.
