      That’s the exact reason I have only bought budget phones. That, and they actually have a sim/sd card slot.

        I ‘downgraded’ this year and realized what an upgrade having one of those was. We cannot cede those things.

    Making me feel like a freak for asking for the freaking sudo.

    If you can’t do any software change you want, you are not the owner of the device.

    They are slippery. So they require a case. Why not, i dunno, make them easier to hold? The phone design doesn’t matter if it’s always hidden.

    Generally: That I can’t mount my network samba shares into local folders without rooting the whole damn thing.

    That I can’t force my device to stay in wifi if no internet connection is available (to access local network only).

    Device specific: That sometimes volume control is very buggy while putting in a headphone jack and I have to navigate into sub-sub settings hell to set everything back.

    Under screen fingerprint reader (pixel 7 pro) . It’s a downgrade from reader on the back of the phone (pixel 5). It’s slower, less accurate, and worst of all, at night it often results in being flashed with a bright light.

    I thought it’d be more convenient having the reader on the front, so i can unlock the phone without lifting it, but most of the time it’s a nuisance because i doesn’t work as well.

    Battery life is a little short, and the software support ends in about a year. Really wish I could keep this phone going for another 3 or 4.

    The cost to use it no matter the network no matter how cheap the plans it’s still a bill regardless that has to be to use it. Would be better if all we had was intranet via relays so nothing cost to use it not the internet not conversations over it etc.
