Lobby lawmakers to label phones and devices that do not have full user control

Maybe its time to fork what can be forked of android

Didn’t apple just lose some court cases about this?

Cackling. Cheaters can eat sand. l

I don’t even think whoever made this uses linux; Linux is by far the gayest OS

The only way they could make a PC more modular without making more proprietary is to use laptop expansion ports or USB C expansion ports.

They need to get better marketing people. “Gonna go play a game on my frame” just sounds silly.

My dude, this is technically correct but a bad metaphor; there’s a lot of important differences between death camps and postal bans that make the comparison absurd.

Now if you have a problem people will just tell you to get good.

I’ve looked at a couple linux phones and those tend to be designed with hardware switches for antennas and cameras, which I would argue are more secure

Usability makes sense. Security is a real head scratcher here.

Not even all the google phones have battery recalls, why are you so invested in defending google with such bad faith nonsense?

You’re still doing the fanboy stuff. This isn’t about “mobile devices” in general this about a history of google phones having battery recalls.

If you read “bad battery design” and just make assumptions about what that means, then maybe thats on you because it only takes the slightest amount of curiosity to say “I wonder why somebody would be talking about having to replace batteries”

I’ve had both pixel models affected and the 4a at one point was smoking because of a related heat issue with the phone where the charge port overheats. The 4a at least was an easier fix- the screen is easier to remove.

I’m talking about the phones catching on fire.

And yes I’ll be waiting on EU battery replacement laws before I buy another pixel because I’m 2/2 on pixels that have battery recalls. 1 model with battery issues is an abberation. 3+ is a pattern: google makes shitty, flammable batteries.

The downside is they have bad battery design and replacing the batteries is a huge pain in the ass. I will be waiting until EU regulations on battery replacement to kick off in 2027 before I buy another pixel.

Edit: To clarify for the pixel fanboy, the 6a and 4a phones have been catching fire from battery overheating. Its speculated several newer phones (such as the 7 and 7a) will also have this problem as their batteries age.

Truly a legend, if true
