It is, but I’m fine with using stock Samsung in exchange for near complete control of my own device. They take away side loading and I’m out of here.

I hope so. But I’m gonna be real grumpy about it when I can’t tap to pay for shit anymore because all of the standardized payment apps will only work on signed Google and Apple devices.

I’ve used Windows my whole life at home. Last year I realized I kind of hate gaming at a desk since I’m at one all day for work, so I bought a used Steam Deck. Literally have not touched Windows since. I probably don’t need a home computer anymore and if I need one in the future, I’m confident it won’t be running Windows.

It’s objectively a good thing that at least some of the vast amounts of e-waste out there is getting repurposed, but it’s also funny as fuck that US tech companies are already in scavenger mode over China’s halted exports.

Kind of hard to think of a use case for this. Not sure I’d ever trust a piece of tech that big, heavy, and expensive to just transport me into unpaved wilderness far from any of the resources it runs on.
