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…

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

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

What good did the increased face-to-face meeting do for previous generations?

From what I can tell Gen Z have lower teenage pregnancy rates, lower rates of alcoholism, lower rates of violent crime and are the most “educated” generation ever.

It’s not “/s” if it’s true…

discord was never “nice”.

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.
