#2> And now a word from our lawyers. Finally, in order to unlock your device, you need to agree to important legal terms[1], which can be found on the next page. Agreeing creates a binding legal agreement, so be sure to read them carefully.
From linked terms:
> Devices that have been unlocked are for your personal use only. Once you unlock the device, you can only use it for our personal use, and may not sell or otherwise transfer the device.

I don't think you understand that Louis Rossmann's job and attitude used to be the norm. Owning and repairing things are core to industrial living, but modern economic forces want to make you think that its about licensing and disposability.
Ownership and agency are part of liberty, renting and dependence is not.

This is first principles thinking, people cringe at the descriptor but I really appreciate you simplifying your argument.

#10I do not own Motorola's devices but would still like to send them big warm FUCK YOU. As for me personally now it is guaranteed that I will never buy any of your crap.
