If you are interested, here is the book that taught them all how to do it:

Here is the book the same author wrote when he realised his kids were getting addicted to devices:

My only point was:

these restrictions have the capacity to carry real impacts on people that amount to more than mild inconveniences...

I already can't access many (and growing to MOST) government services without my government's "my gov" app.

The mygov app won't install/run on my devices as it is not a stock Android OS.

I'm LITERALLY unable to gain access to many government services without having to run a less secure "stock" device.

This isn't an "oh my, what an inconvenience" situation over here.

It becomes an actual life limiting event.

Hyundai bought Boston Dynamic.

I feel it's less about their factories and more about using them as a proving ground, as they will have to make that investment make some kind of revenue.

I hear you. My philosophy changed about 20years ago when Apple switched to Intel:

Mac laptops are expensive, but I regularly get 4-6 years from them without too much drama if I simply max out the ram when I buy them.

My thinking of my eventual move to Linux full time, a Framework or System76 machine costs similar to a Mac, and use the same Max ram philosophy.

I just wish the build quality was just a bit better for the price, but I'm willing to trade a little for user serviceability...

I* want* to buy one. But:

• I'm mid cycle with my last laptop; and
• who the hell can afford to buy RAM for a new system these days?!?!
