Oh, I'm just certain they are absolutely frightened to death. /s

Proving all this in court could give Samsung a powerful weapon moving forward. Legal experts believe the company might take sworn statements straight to the US International Trade Commission, a body with the authority to block foreign products from entering the country entirely.

Which does not help because not every country will ban them and The other manufacturers will then have less demand and therefore have to reduce their prices in order to continue selling the same amount

Edit: Doing so may slow the rate of the price decline in the US, but it will not stop it.

Oh no, I'm so terribly upset. /s

I clicked uninstall on Windows years ago.

So, target practice.

Hmmm, good point.

Might get you in the news too, like Florida man burns out meet-a-glass-wearers eyeballs with high-powered laser.

Might make others think twice about it.

Get yourself a very powerful pocket laser, and if somebody is wearing one of these, shine it directly into their eyeballs.

There are consequences for being a glasshole.

I think there might be a signal fork similar to how Mali operates that would let you use it on a Linux phone but I've only heard about it in passing and so I don't know the name of it but you might want to take a look

That's something I will need to look into as well when I eventually make the switch.

If nothing else, you can use WayDroid until you get the apps you need. I understand that it's still using Android as a crutch, but at least the base system would be Linux.

I think they will eventually do it. Or they will make a new system and not have it be open source. And leave AOSP to languish. And this is why my next device is going to be a device that supports post-market OS.

I'm going to make sure of that before I buy it, because even if it's difficult, it will be worth the switch.
