Who would’ve thought? This isn’t going to fly with the EU.

Article 5.3 of the Digital Markets Act (DMA): “The gatekeeper shall not prevent business users from offering the same products or services to end users through third-party online intermediation services or through their own direct online sales channel at prices or conditions that are different from those offered through the online intermediation services of the gatekeeper.”

Friendly reminder that you can sideload apps without jailbreaking or paying for a dev account using TrollStore, which utilises core trust bugs to bypass/spoof some app validation keys, on a iPhone XR or newer on iOS 14.0 up to 16.6.1. (ANY version for iPhone X and older)

    i have unlocked bootloader of every single smartphone I’ve ever had, ranging from Xiaomi, Samsung, Motorola to Google.

    pixels are the easiest to unlock. there are several mediocre things about pixels(battery life, refresh rate, etc.). but unlocking bootloader isn’t one of them.

      I didn’t say it was hard, and I’ve done it myself, but try do that on your work phone

        why the hell would you root a device supplied to you by your employer? It’s not yours.

          I don’t, and that’s my whole point. It’s way more locked down than a PC operating system. It’s also mine in the sense, that it is intended to be used for personal stuff, which I do use it for.

            I steer clear of doing anything personal with work related devices. but even then, Android at least allows for two separate profiles.
