> might not be available otherwise. Like how they stopped showing movies on TV once VCRs entered the market, or stopped playing music on the radio once home taping killed it. If only we had had DRM on radios and TVs back then, perhaps there would still be some entertainment industry left.
You are avoiding my point. Where is the user outrage over Netflix using DRM and blocking their rights to fair use. And if you don't like it, don't subscribe. Are you against companies being able to choose if to use DRM or not? Do you want to ban DRM? What about encryption, do you want to ban that too?
Personally, though I don’t like DRM, I don’t think we can ban it generally (though I could probably think of a few more specific cases where we should). I would like breaking DRM to not be a felony, though.

#1542021 will be the year of Linux on the ... Phone
God, I hope so. I've been meaning to try the PinePhone and maybe others at some point

#155This problem really reminds you that Android is Linux. Everything is a file, even the bugs.
Well...Linux plus rootkit preventing you from doing what you want on a device you've paid for

Won't unlocking the bootloader make banking apps not work anymore? Had this issue when I tried LineageOS on my old phone, and I really like the convenience of those apps as opposed to using the website, which is extremely bad. Also, how do I do all you said above? (I need a step by step tutorial). Also is it reversible? Are there any other security implications?
Your mileage might vary, but I'm using 4 banking app (one of them even disallow taking screenshot in Android 10) but they are working on custom rom (lineageos) with unlocked bootloader as long as I don't install root.

The worst I've found is a few apps that complain and push a bullshit scare story at you ("your device is insecure" LOL. My house is technically less secure because I have a key to it, too). Bank accounts are commodities and most banks have no monthly fees with no minimum balances. The easy answer is to choose banks based on who doesn't engage in user-hostile shenanigans (see also: snake oil "2FA"). Moving between accounts over the course of a few months is quite easy, especially if you do not write checks.

>make banking apps not work anymore If you live in a country where you have to use your phone for banking and can't use the web then you need to talk to your politicians. That seems like a pretty extreme violation of your freedom. As much as I dislike the US at least we don't have that.
Some banks and bank-like products only make themselves available by mobile app. It's a commercial decision, and seems to have been a trend with some "challenger" banks. I have two of those, and I chose them because of unique banking features (not the mobile app) not offered by other banks which I found valuable. It's nothing to do with the country. To be honest it would be nice to have web access as well (or even pho…
It's never safe to bank from a computer you can't control. I would always consider a phone to be compromised. These are the richest targets going for exploits so why risk it.

They already block you from disabling location services if you want to use bluetooth.
Jesus, I had no idea. Remind me to never, ever switch to Android
This works exactly the same way on iOS or any device that supports Bluetooth low energy, since it allows very fine grained location detection. Try it yourself.
This has caused some issues for covid apps since, to use BLE on Android, you need to request the location permission - which people were naturally afraid to do.

I live in the UK and have used 5 banking apps so far (not all of them at the same time): - Barclays (App won't work with LineageOS, website is horrible). - Monzo (App only, no website, works with LineageOS). - Revolut (App only, no website, works with LineageOS). - TransferWise (Web and App, both work well, but never tried it on LineageOS). - ING Home Bank (App won't work with LineageOS, website is manageable, but st…
Monzo have a pretty comprehensive API that you can build your own web based interface around if you wish. If you look on github a ton of people have done that, all you need to do is clone the repo, plop in your Monzo api key and the jobs a goodun.
Are there any banks that provide EUR accounts that do the same (Monzo is GBP only)?
