It's ludicrous that my phone costs more than 2 different cars I've owned and I have to go through this kind of bullshit so they can make another 15 cents on average per user.

so why would you buy an $1800 phone if you can't root it and load some FOSS on it?

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Because I don't want to lose my warranty on a phone with a soft plastic foldable screen.

Yeah, denying warranty for rooting is technically illegal, but knowing that doesn't do anything for me.
