Samsung just needs to shut the fuck up. They’re worse than Apple by a fucking mile. They make fun of them for something then turn around and do it next month. Fuck off with this shit. They removed the headphone jack, the charger from the box and the SD card slot. Samsung sucks more than Apple.
And you can’t unlock their boot loaders. You must suffer their changes to Android, their assistant, their UI, their spyware, and bloatware. You don’t own the device.
I’m writing this from a samsung with unlocked bootloader.
Well, congratulations, hacker.
Maybe I should’ve specified that it was unlocked via the official “OEM Unlock” switch provided by Samsung. Yes, there are Samsung phones that can be unlocked, though you’re right, many cannot be (usually US versions).
Lol where did you get that from? You can absolutely unlock the bootloader of every Samsung Android phone.
Edit: detail
Not in the US
Oh man, don’t get me started on that.
You can root/jailbreak both apple and samsung, but that would massively downgrade the phone security and make it vulurnable to hackers. So that must be avoided if you have bank apps, creditcards, or important and sensitive data on phone (who doesn’t)
Samsung is like the apple of the android world, which makes it way worse
Unless they build something that isn’t locked down and obsolete shit after 5 years, it is just as fucking useless as a 5 year old iPad.
I thought the Apple commercial was really clever. Squeezing all of the stuff into one device. I don’t really understand why people decided that it was about the death of creativity, there’s plenty of creative shit you can do on a tablet. And it’s not like the existence of the iPad precludes using instruments and paint.
Shit, 98% of what my wife does on her iPad is piano and vocal sheet music related.
I mean there’s a large sentiment that goes back to antiquity that technology is here to crush the working/creative man. I think people felt it was too on the nose that a tech company worth trillions was making a commercial that reminds them of that so directly. especially in today’s day and age where people feel like certain industries are on the cusp of being completely wiped out by LLMs and stuff.
Luddism definitely comes to mind.
In fairness to Apple, if you play the video backwards, it’s an amazing commercial. Maybe it was like all those classic rock records where parents thought you could play it backwards to learn about Satan or whatever.
“To be fair, if they did the exact opposite of what they did it’s amazing.”
Well, I don’t care about any company but seeing Samsung take the shot is always refreshing. I wish more companies would be at odds to call bullshit out publicly like that.
