    still just not gonna update my phone for a while until they’ve for sure have allowed side loading. Got my pixel because it’s just a nice phone, and i can put graphene on it when it’s paid off. Half of my apps are all from f-droid, too.

        Some carriers lock the bootloader until you’ve paid off the phone.

        Phones produced for sale through Verizon have a permanently locked bootloader.

          Fuck Verizon for this exact reason. Never buy from them direct if you can help it.
