Heard for years that it wasn’t possible. Would love to hear that I’m wrong. https://forum.fairphone.com/t/relock-bootloader-step-by-step/98339/10

I’m currently in a part of the world where labor is pretty cheap so it didn’t cost me much.

One of the reasons given as to why GrapheneOS is not available for the Fairphone is because the end user cannot lock the bootloader.

I just replaced the battery on my pixel 7 and I’m asking myself the same. I use my phone for fewer tasks than you. Calls and messages only.

As far as smartphones go the pixels aren’t so bad if you ignore the endemic battery issues that have affected every pixel device from the 4a up…

I would expect surface level nationalism from a right winger and Google is very much a foreign interest in Germany.

Developers have been using Linux for a while. There are tools for CAD and video production too.

They might want American made, they just can’t afford it.

Your idea for an alternatives to website sounds like a great idea.

This means to release a remix legally, you must seek copyright permission from the original artist or band who created the song or the sample you want to remix or reuse.

Facebook was leeching? No way…

How many Vita games are worth emulating?

This is why I don’t like the idea of one device for all my communication and media needs. I have smartphones for comms and dedicated audio devices for music and podcasts, with headphone jacks.

The Anbernic rg35xx h has served me well. Likewise the Nintendo 2DS XL.

Par for the course.

Never had a problem with it on Gentoo, Arch, Void or Tails.

My favorite laptop ever is the x200 in large part because it has a trackpoint and no trackpad.
