Correct me if I am wrong, but the bootloader on phones is much more restrictive than macs.

Newpipe is essentially an rss client for youtube, and a couple other services. It is probably the most private yt watching on android. You subscribe to channrls, and are notified of new uploads. No algorithms, no ads.

I think so, because that was during the peak of the ram shortage, and LPCAMM2 was barely produced then.

Yeah, thats true but framework solved this with LPCAMM2 modules, which have much higher write speeds that sodimm. And just because “few actually upgrade it” doesnt mean all ram should be soldered, as having unsoldered ram caters to a completely different consumer market.

Leprosy.
