I stopped buying Samsung when they started with the Knox bullshit. I saw it as an anti-consumer move.
Why is Knox anti-consumer? I just saw it as their security partner?
I believe that once you buy a device, you own it and you should be able to do whatever you want with it. You should be able to root or install a custom OS and customize it to your heart's content. Knox coupled with Samsung's locked Snapdragon bootloader prevents Samsung phone owners from doing any of that. And on Exynos phones, when you trip Knox, some features stop working on the stock OS and your warranty is void. Doesnt matter if you relock the bootloader, those things are gone. That was already unacceptable to me. Recently though, they also began disabling the camera on the Z Fold 3 when the bootloader is unlocked, which makes me even madder.
Dayum Samsung, arbitrarily disabling the camera? That's some apple type shit.
Fair enough. Cheers for explainer :)
Sure, it's like denuvo on games if you are familiar. First it was "security" then it was adding third party bullshit that isnt removable only "freezable". Hogging resources and killing performance.
You can absolutely remove any app using ADB commands, which can be run from the phone itself.
Not trying to argue against your point in anyway, just letting you know you can
Ah, the classic bloatware, because they can!
