Sounds like a worthwhile tradeoff for something you're strapping to your face and therefore want to be as light as possible.

Well, on the bright side, I guess I was wrong about Trump's vandalism of the reflecting pool being permanent.

That presupposes they actually care about the prisoners, as opposed to dumping them in a hole to die of neglect.

Mix it with sour cream and dip wavy potato chips in it.

Makes sense; there wouldn't have been any flowers or tetrapods for them to suck on yet.

Wait, the $15 2K model you bought yesterday can be rooted? I figured anything made in the last few years would've been patched.

Can you tell me the exact model (the code on the box, like this, as explained in this XDA thread about the model I got where I experienced disappointment), and where you found the information about rooting it?

I appreciate that you're happy with yours even without rooting, but I don't think I'd be able to trust it not to enshittify in the long run on the stock firmware.

I have a couple of them that I bought shortly after the LTT video on the topic with the intention of rooting. After figuring out that I'd unfortunately got the newer hardware revision that can't be rooted, I had them just sitting in a box.

If "debloating" them without rooting and installing Lineage or whatever is "good enough," maybe I should take another look. Do you know of a good guide to follow? Is there anything special that needs to be done, such as preventing it from updating or connecting to the Internet before the factory malware is removed?

I like how that adds up to 110%.

Goddamnit. I got my Boomer parents to ditch cable and get a Roku, in part, to keep them away from Fox News.

Yeah, if Trump's sycophants filed for voluntary dismissal, it's because they wanted to preserve the opportunity to try some other bullshit tactic later.

There is no rule that you have to put "rule" in the title. It's just a tradition.

Global warming sure doesn't help, but the Colorado basin was dry AF even before the industrial revolution. IIRC, the Anasazi got fucked over in a similar way.
