"root detection" is not actually detecting root as that is very difficult it's detecting an unlocked bootloader or modified software that didn't come on your phone(like a custom rom such as graphene os)
This is a different sideloading. The sideloading you are talking about is installing apks this is where you download a software update zip file and then sideload the update to the device to either upgrade or downgrade the os. This also has nothing to do with Google as their phones still have this capability
Yea kinda but look at apple. There has never been any freedom to do what you want with their phones and people have loved them. While you and I as enthusiasts may move to another platform because of stuff like this most people don't even know about it.
In this case though the 9a is the exact same as the 10a except the 10a has a slightly higher brightness screen and you can get a refurbished excellent 9a for $160 less than a 10a
It will probably be faster because it is essentially the same device as the 9a the only differences that might affect software are that the screen has a slightly higher brightness and it has slightly higher charging speed. Everything else is the same even the soc
How are they money grabs? Fortnite and valorant(only 2 games I can think of that are / are going to do this) are completely free with the option to buy cosmetics that don't help you in anyway competitively.
I personally don't because while I switched to Linux because Windows got too shit I am the only person I know who did that. No one else has switched at all and I still have to go back to it to use it for things that I can't do on Linux or don't work nearly as well. So I would much rather use Discord in its current state not with the dumb age verification thing with the people I currently use it with. I would love for there to be a popular alternative that is actually good but I don't know of one.
It's not really complicated at all you just download the tailscale app make an account and then hit share to your friends. That's how I run a Minecraft server for me and my friends because I was too lazy to figure out how to port forward. It was easier to just sudo apt install tailscale and essentially be done.
How are they too different to be compared. Genuinely asking. As far as I can tell they aren't too far apart considering they have very similar outcomes in terms of elections. One party stays in power for all of eternity
This guy is not actually saying he doesn't want to pay into social security he is pointing out how dumb of an argument it is "I don't use it therefore I shouldn't have to pay into it". Although even if he is complaining about it it's valid because until now it's been something that you could pretty much count on for getting after you retire. But now for my generation we are probably all fucked
That is nasty
