    Just don’t buy that crap. I’m perfectly satisfied with a rooted chinesium Android machine for a third of the money. It’s actually better in many regards than my cousin’s iphone14. Hardware wise. And oh, you can change parts rather easily. These are so easy to root, I don’t know why not everybody does it. Or give it to someone you know / in the family to do it. Had a Huawei before this for 6 years, changed the battery and the screen. Still kinda love my old brick.

      These are so easy to root, I dont know why not everybody does it.

      Probably because not everyone has a valid reason to root. What about people who use GrapheneOS? Rooting does involve valid security risks that doesn’t make it suitable for every single person.

      This is about Macbooks though. It’s an interesting video, the guy who created it will even open source the little device after 350 orders.

      Any recommendations on those chinesium devices? My Pixel 4a is getting a little long in the tooth and I’m in the market for a new Android phone with a vanilla Android experience.
