You can install whatever you want on Samsung's android variant. This change makes it so you can't install software (such as F-Droid, NewPipe, Google Camera, Samsung Notes, etc.) from APK, unless you install them directly from Google's Play Store [without going through unnecessary hoops and 24-hour delays]. And, pretending "Samsung has been doing this for ages", it doesn't make it right.

This change was precipitated by a change that allows you to install an app outside the Play Store without the user seeing a scary warning or going through the existing hoops, as required by the Epic Games v. ruling. permalink fedilink source parent [–] StarvingMartist@sh.itjust.works -2 points 6 months ago (6 children) Lot of assumptions here, and you know what they say about that. Samsung absolutely has a wait timer to unlock bootloader, especially from Verizon or T-Mobile.

No one said anything about bootloader. This change doesn't change bootloader. This change is about apk installation. Reading the many available articles regarding this change helps in understanding it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] StarvingMartist@sh.itjust.works 0 points 6 months ago (4 children) My man, I brought up bootloader, I was talking about it, if you didn't get that that's on you. Conversations don't just stick to the one thing you want, typically it's a group effort, but don't worry in the future I'll take it slow just for you permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub -1 points 6 months ago (3 children) Don't assume I'm your man lol. It seems you're responding to the wrong thread, as no one mentioned bootloaders before your comment from an hour ago. Maybe you are, in fact, attempting to fabricate a conversation out of thin air. You lonely? If so, I'd be more than happy to have a genuine, respectful conversation with you, but none of this bullshit. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] StarvingMartist@sh.itjust.works 0 points 6 months ago (2 children) Once again, it doesn't matter if "noone mentioned it" I mentioned it, since it's time delayed lock is relevant, my man you really need to take a chill pill permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 0 points 6 months ago (1 child) Ok permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] StarvingMartist@sh.itjust.works 1 point 6 months ago Good man! permalink fedilink source parent
