    My banking app won’t work if I’m rooted and before that when I had developer mode on it wouldn’t work. Just gave me a error so I have the login to Firefox each time. I hate apps that block you because they can’t track you anymore

      Banks that do this are just ignorant and hypocritical. Those same banks will let you log in from a web browser on the phone that is just as (un)likely to be compromised or from a desktop computer where you also have admin rights.

    >reboot to bootloader -> unlock -> you will use your warranty -> yes

    It’s fucking outrageous that companies are allowed to blatantly lie like that (you will not, in fact, lose your warranty – Federal law doesn’t allow it). Every company that displays such a fraudulent message ought to be fined by the FTC, or worse.

      Fines don’t work, just start throwing people in jail already.

    Don’t forget the part where the preinstalled OS forces you to accept the Google ToS. You just spent a few hundred bucks on a new phone and then it won’t let you use it without also selling your soul.
