Am on the edge for the remarkable, but the pine note would be a definite buy. But I do know that the pine devices most often are tinkering devices. Don’t know if that is the case for the pine note, just saying.

This very much depends. Are there technical ways to restore this? Something like a jumper to make the flash storage writable. This would be possible with access to the firmware source code. So yeah, they can fix it themselves. Who is responsible? If the device is bricked after this: the company.
Build locked up products? Die.
Build in fuses? Better make those chips accessible by providing the plans to build them, otherwise refund your customers and die. Now everyone can build them, this won’t be a monopoly and everyone wins.
It doesn’t matter if they care about this. They are too dumb to do anything about it anyway. They still can get to take advantage of this. Most notable would be that stuff like “bank apps only through play/apple store” would be much harder to pull of.
The kind of control we are talking about are different. You look at the law, in which I have only little trust, while I look at the ability to manipulate the hardware.
So no, they do not have control over the hardware, they just don’t care that much. They do care if they are inconvenienced in any way, say by a service that disallows some parts that were previously offered. They don’t understand and don’t care, but they do win from some more control over their stuff.
I already live without any of the services you mentioned, I suspect most of Lemmy do. Well, not without YouTube (for me), I guess, but that gets more and more replaced by stuff like peertube.
Millions of Americans would still only occasionally visit those things if they had more options to plan their recreational time. Those options are mostly limited by less free time available while also having less money available. In that regard, and mostly limited to that regard, was then better than now.
I am aware of this narrative. I don’t agree.
All power to the users. And I do mean ALL. Complete control over cellular modems for one. Control over every little bit of hardware in the consumers hands.
That includes warranty promises, that includes schematics, source code for firmware, everything. For all current, past and future devices.
“Runs a custom version of Android”. God fucking shitnuggets. I just want computing to be mine again.
Why would they? They know how it’s made!
A plugin for yt-dlp will suffice. It’s also easier to maintain.
But it IS giving the copyright holders less attack surface to bite into. Haters gonna hate, let them.
Awesome, then I’ll probably get one. Thank you!
They seem to be consumer grade, but dumb. Does someone here have one? How are the refresh rates? Can I play FPS games with at least 60hz on it?
*without reaching statistically relevant levels of seizure induced deaths.
No, I think they are referring to your username.

I think my problem lies elsewhere, as in “what” to read and write. But it is generally good advise, thanks.
I know, it’s why I’m a bit sad about it.
I always was rather bad at the “soft skills”. Which is probably why I left them unattended for so long. Thanks for the reminder! (Not sarcastic)
Okay, but what if I can’t put my feelings into words? If even LLMs have a better grip on human emotion than me?
Edit: Well, then I wouldn’t have a daughter in the first place; and I don’t. Yay?
I’m really sceptical an insurance app can do that. And even if it does work, what’s stopping them from taking the photos from the mail (Don’t start with data protection, if they really want to they can give me a link to upload stuff; or a key to encrypt the mail)?
I agree that an app would be a better user experience. If it would refrain from sending any kind of data other than the photos. Also the photos need to be only the pictures, no EXIF or other stuff.
Also LIDAR in phones? I need to read up on this.
Edit: ah, apple only. Welp.
Nice, thank you for the writeup!
