    I stopped buying Samsung when they started with the Knox bullshit. I saw it as an anti-consumer move.

        I believe that once you buy a device, you own it and you should be able to do whatever you want with it. You should be able to root or install a custom OS and customize it to your heart’s content. Knox coupled with Samsung’s locked bootloader prevents Samsung phone owners from doing any of that. That was already unacceptable to me. Recently though, they also began disabling the camera on the Z Fold 3 when the bootloader is unlocked, which makes me even madder.

        Sure, it’s like denuvo on games if you are familiar. First it was “security” then it was adding third party bullshit that isnt removable only “freezable”. Hogging resources and killing performance.
