Comment Dependance on vendor service bites users in ass (Score 4, Insightful) 88

Shocked I tell you! Because Google has never shut down a service with little regard to users. And in fact, no other company ever has either!!! And no trendy online startup has ever gone out of business either, with the end users being the only ones who get screwed. If you depend on some proprietary or online (or both) service, you're going to end up screwed eventually. Plan accordingly.

I run it on my One Plus & Samsung tablet. I will not buy a device that doesn't let me root it & run Lineage. It also enables me to run adaway & block trackers and other stupid parts of the android ecosystem which I do not like. I may eventually move to Purism & LibreOS though. Privacy respecting technology is unfortunately not mainstream, but it matters to some of us.

The problem is that the data has a direct cost to humanity. And to those who say that 'privacy is dead' and 'data is everywhere - deal with it'; until we find a way to do away with prejudice in any form, data must be protected. Unfortunately, no matter who you are, no matter what your persuasions, there is another group who will hate you, charge you more, take advantage of you for something. So change human nature, then we can talk about data as sunlight.

The sales #'s will tell. I love my 3T, and a few coworkers also like their OnePlus devices (through 5). Not a single one of us plans on buying a OnePlus again. For me, the headphone jack is a deal breaker. The notch is just ugly. I want features for a decent price point. I don't want less features from a copy cat manufacturer. Bye OnePlus. I hardly knew ya.
