  • That’s the thing though, I’m pretty sure all of them have an unlocking requirement at some point from the FCC. Depending on how you read the law that should include the bootloader. Verizon especially is screwed on that regard since they can’t “restrict what applications a handset user can use on the device” (paraphrased from their agreement). I’m pretty sure if I bought a Pixel from Verizon and wanted to use GrapheneOS on it, their bootloader lock is preventing that and they’re in violation of the terms of the agreement.

    If we had a more favorable FCC it would be trivial to start a class action over that could literally include most Verizon customers (and second hand device buyers) since they made that agreement with the FCC. The damages would probably be $50-100 (time and effort of trying to get Verizon to do their fucking job) per device up to the cost of devices (they’re not fit for purpose). Like either way that’s either a substantial blow up to a death sentence for them.


  • When we take our dogs to my parents once they realize where we are they get all excited and start staring out the windshield as if to say “Go faster!

    Once we get there we open the car door and they run inside (because they know they’re gonna get a treat)

    My parents spoil both of them and get all the treats they want and my mom will make stuff like beef or chicken to add to their kibble as a topper.

    How they’re not a billion pounds each each time they leave I’ll never know

    Evidence:

    That big bed my parents specifically got for our greyhound because he’s so big and likes to stretch out, but his old bones don’t really let him lay on hard floor anymore
