2 months agoEven if the “grace period” (aka “offline mode”), Steam also times out without connection, and if market coverage statistics are to be believed, most people don’t seem to use services that provide DRM-free gaming. And as Steam also provides movies and series (they still do, right?), the situation is worse as barely any stores offer DRM-free videos.
(On an upside, at least musics seem to be fairly common DRM-free, including on Steam.)
You’ll lose all your local data as the bootloader gets unlocked, so back them up.
Tutorials on modding phones, from my experience, are fairly obtuse despite the process itself usually being rather simple and straight forward.
If you want to go as privacy-oriented as possible, you’ll likely pick a vanilla system (that is, as close to AOSP, “Android Open Source Project”), and will often be on the lookout for software that is either DRM-free (no dependency on 3rd party software), or open source / FOSS (“Free and Open Source Software”). Also VPNs to mask your online usage may come with their own set of cobsiderations, like some sites breaking, some others considering it ban-worth, and others setting prices, languages, etc., to a given region.
