Gay: Bought a samsung phone

P.S the kids have been raving about this phone just reduces all those steps to "buy phone".

    In the EU, I'm not headphones with jacks will be allowed to be sold (Arstechnica).

    Laptops get until April 2026 to comply, but most other things—phones, tablets, handheld gaming devices, computer accessories, and wireless headphones—will have to be powered by USB-C to be sold inside the EU from now on.

    I think it's only a matter of time until phones with dual or triple USB-C start emerging.

    I don't see how this has anything to do with blocking headphones w/ jacks, this only says wireless headphones have to be powered by USB-C. I've had wireless headphones that also have a jack so you can still use the headphones if the battery dies, and I also have headphones without power whatsoever and only work with a jack.

    > buy fairphone because I hate constructors adding their bloatware to my phone.
    > Boot it up, insert SIM.
    > Next reboot, my carrier tries to get me to install their shit with a permanent notification (thankfully I can hide it, just have to do it every reboot).

    How the fuck is that even legal

    Is this some US thing? What do you mean? I've never seen this.

    I thought that could only happen in third world countries like the US but unfortunately this is in France. I'll reboot my phone to show you.

    Edit : well, apparently that's related to connecting to the carrier's network because right now I'm in another country and it doesn't happen

    I can show you a screenshot of the shitty app it installed the first time that happened, that it appears I can't uninstall without rooting the phone. Keep in mind I bought the phone directly from Fairphone so it was not "SIM locked" to my carrier :

    I looked again for more info about that app and it appears they are pulling that shit with the phone constructor's consent. After all they are the main mobile phone carrier in France by a huge margin, which probably helps for these kinds of deals. I would have liked to have been consulted too though...
