@GrapheneOS @ohno_itsnate Granted that's on #Fairphone [or any other #OEM]'s part ...

@Gianluca @thpar @chris @fairphone@lemmy.ml @fairphone@mas.to @shiftphones Not shure if #ShiftPhone is much different to #Fairphone in that regard.

• But I'd be surprised if they or #Teracube as #budget - #OEM|s are able and/or willing to meet @GrapheneOS's standards given their devices are cheaper than Fairphone's.

@GrapheneOS @chris @fairphone@lemmy.ml @fairphone@mas.to based off the security update stance basically almost all Android devices with few exceptions should be illegal to sell by @EUCommission standards in the #EU.

• At least the cheap #shovelware / manufactured #eWaste like #SOYES (they still sell Android 8.1 devices!) and #Unihertz (they don't ever deliver update at all)…

Maybe let the #OEM of your choice know that and pwn the market for good?

Bruh this isn't a #competition anymore, but a public execution of how #enshittified devices get just with #Windows instead of #Linux on.

• And that's the #OEM #Preinstall of #Windows11 vs. #SteamOS, so not even like some custom 1337hax0r gentoo config optimized to maximize battery life!

@GrapheneOS pretty shure some #OEM would be helping in return for a #GrapheneOS #port to their devices...

@stevenaleach @hannah The problem is that #Microsoft pays the big #OEM|s $25 per preinstall and #TechIlliterate #Consoomers and #Normies don't know better...

• It's the same with #Adobe #Acrobat: EVERY SINGLE #PDF READER IS BETTER - INCLUDING pdf.js on #InternetExplorer!

#Update: Everyone who thinks 100% #Nylon #Stockings ain't worth their money are either paid shills of the "#Elastane Cartel" or never had #Nylons or are just jealous of people who can afford #NylonStockings.

Pretty shure "#VickysNylons" is just an #OEM-#Rebadging of #gio, but that isn't necessarily bad - in fact I'd rather see some good but expeneive product rather than a shitty but cheap one.

- I did use the #gloves included to pull them on, so no ripped seams!

The feel is just perfection!

@simonzerafa I mean obviously #reuse / #UseLonger is better and if your options are "corporate surplus" or nothing then I'd never judge.

To me it's just that #ThinkPad as a brand has really died as every single Device is a #downgrade in #repairability & #upgradeability compared to my #X230Tablet:

• They have #SolderedDownRAM even on P-Series #Workstation machines, not just cheap cheap #Lenovo consoomer devices.

• Batteries ain't toolfree-swappable anymore!

• #WWAN modules are worse (i.e. #Fibocom #850GL aka. #Intel #XMM7360)

• #Linux support gets worse and neither Lenovo nor @ubuntu feel responsible on a "#Ubuntu-certified Workstation" (i.e. #P15v)

• Less & Worse #Docking options.

• Most machines don't offer Linux or to eveb to opt-out of #Govware noone should pay their overcharged premium for (in fact #Microsoft pays Lenovo $25 for every #Windows #preinstall so they don't ship Linux, they don't even pay the $10 for an #OEM-#UEFI-Key, much less the $135+ of a #SystemBuilder version they charge for!)

• ...

Personally, I wish I had €.€€€.€€€ so I could just develop the #NUCbook and be done with the #Enshittification of #Laptops / #Notebooks!

@SweetAIBelle Needless to say I've to dig deeper at the #OEM #Installer mode at @ubuntu / #UbuntuLTS #Desktop and how to setup a System so it'll retroactively encrypt at least $HOME with #LUKS...

• I seriously wished #Canonical (and other Distos) had some Customizer tool for #OEMs and #SystemBuilders / #SystemIntegrators similar to #nLite / #vLite back in the days to provide a good #OOBE [ #OutOfBoxExperience ] for #Linux Desktop novices beyond having #drivers and some additional #Software preinstalled....

Alas I should look at my own #postinstall tool and get it up to snuff...

• I just wished I'd be paid to do my projects full time, cuz that would really kill the anxiety and frustration and provide the necessary stability to do so.

@m I'd just refuse to buy anything that comes with #Govware-#OS #Windows11 preinstalled.

• In fact I'd rather not buy anything or pay more than the $25 #Microsoft pays for #Windows preinstalls to #OEM|s just to get around this shit and not having to wipe it off.

Just buying the devices without any #SSD / #HDD in or explicitly without #WinShit on is one of the best option...
