Did someone say pants shitting?
I do the best shitting of pants, tremendous. Big men come up to me with tears in their eyes -from the stench- and they say "sir," they all call me sir, they say, "sir, that's the best pants shitting I've ever smelt. The sound is like a volcano erupting. Please, do it again".
Some people say that they've never seen pants being shit on so vigorously. Yet it's something I do multiple times a day!!
You know, they say. And they all say, "Crooked Xi has stolen the design" because he ONLY steals from THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, the USA, made GREAT AGAIN by me, Donald J TRUMP. And they say, "he stole the design to mock us", and he did, but look at his phone. It's NOT GOLDEN, which everybody knows. Every expert can tell you, you know, if it's not GOLDEN then it's not as good as the TRUMP MOBILE. Gold actually makes it faster, like our ships in the STRAIT OF HORMUZ. You know, the ships that will TERMINATE IRAN and lower Oil Prices so that the TRUMP PHONE becomes CHEAPER. Thank you for your attention to This Matter, DONALD J. TRUMP
they moved the position of the light LED nearby the camera. That's a surprising amount of effort for something that even has the wrong number of stripes on the american flag
If you compare the photo of the back, it looks like the flash light and the noise reduction microphone swapped positions between the two phones. On the scan they look identical because the LED and the microphone are in the same spot, just inverted.
Obtaining root isn't jailbreaking, it’s just taking full control of your linux-based system :)
Jailbreaking is so called because you have to escape the walled garden (jail) of apple products, which is a challenge because they wrote their own code. Not a problem you really have with android to begin with. You don’t even need root for most of what you want to do with android.
Jailbreaking does not only refer to apple products. It just means overcoming software limitations set by the manufacturer. Rooting an android phone is also jailbreaking
rooting and unlocking the bootloader are not the same thing. if the manufacturer provides steps to unlock the bootloader, then i agree that that is not jailbreaking
Sure, but the method of rooting that I'm familiar with (and one I suspect is the most popular) is to unlock the bootloader and modify a boot image that you can freely download from Google's website in accordance with their license, and then load and run that boot image onto your device.
Bootloader unlock, although there are basically no Android phones which support root and not bootloader unlock in 2026 since you generally need an unlocked bootloader to flash magisk
And they’ll even admit it. They’ll admit to how bad things are and still do it. Conservatives are requisite morons and no, being “educated” has nothing to do with being or not being a moron.
How much cheaper than the base price would it have to be for you to willingly carry around a Trump branded phone that's so immediately recognizable that everyone you meet will know what you're using?
I'd like to say I'd stick to my principles here, but cases cost $10. Worst case I'm in a red state, wouldn't be proud of it, but a bit of maga camo would make my life easier.
Yeah, inside the case, under a layer. I printed the PLA layers, paused the print to insert the magnets and change to TPU filament, then resumed.
I had to extend a bump outside of the case a bit to accommodate the depth, but the bump worked nicely as a coping to seat the phone tightly in the mount so it didn't come loose with e.g. road bumps in the car.
You're thinking of Huawei. HTC is a Taiwanese company that used to be a major player among Android OEMs, but their business dried up and they exited the global market. I didn't even know they were still making phones, to be honest.
I think I'm thinking of ZTE, the change was like 2016-2017.
I had a ZUK phone at the time, and it was amazing. Lenovo bought them and incorporated them, and my Lenovo phone was also excellent but useless in the States due to using different bands/lack of software for the West.
OK but isn't HTC's reputation pretty good? Or maybe used to be...
So far I always heard the T1 would be some even cheaper no-brand from China.
OTOH, it could still be exactly that - a no-name rip-off of the HTC U24 Pro. The article actually supports that: the boards are the same but not identical. Like somebody used the same plans, not the same factory.
I'm going back to an old LG phone after my current phone dies. There really has not been much real progress in hardware or software, more like loss of features and controls with new updates these days.
The article actually supports that: the boards are the same but not identical. Like somebody used the same plans, not the same factory.
The article literally says:
Digging deeper into the phone reveals more of the same. As in the same component shapes, the same component placement, the same screw placements, and even the same anti-tamper sticker placements. Do you know what else is likely to be the same? The factories that made these parts. The biggest clue? The mainboard itself.
OK I didn't read that far. You must admit the pictures look like what in German is called baugleich - identical in construction, but not completely identical.
And say what you will about the T1, but let’s give credit where it’s due. Trump Mobile aren’t gouging their fanbase…not yet anyway. Against all expectations, the T1 is actually well priced when compared to the equivalently specced 512GB U24 Pro, and the only things you give up are the 60W fast charging and your dignity.
That's from the iFixit article. I checked the website and they're currently listing it for $499, whereas Amazon has the U24 Pro 512gb (which I think is what they're saying is the equivalent?) for $699. So maybe it's actually cheaper? But I wouldn't buy either one at this point anyway. The U24 Pro released in July 2024 with the promise of two years of security updates, meaning it'll be out of support in a month. I can't imagine this "new" version will get any support at all.
How long ago did people order these ago, and what was the cost then? The price surge on RAM and storage due to AI has already caused the prices of many mobile devices to go up, especially the ones with larger capacities.
Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if these were manufactured in 2024, and Trump Mobile got a deal on them as unsold inventory of an end-of-life product. But that's pure speculation.
Well they're charging $500 but it's anyone's guess whether you'll actually get the phone or not as far as I understand it the only people that have seen it so far are tech reviewers

With you so far.
Not if the method to do so consists entirely of steps that the manufacturer allows and documents.
Depending on the manufacturer and model, unlockable bootloaders mean that custom software can be installed without a jail to break out of.

You can do it. I designed and printed my phone case in TPU on an Ender 3.

GSMArena lists it as being available on the market.
The T1 is not exactly this device; from the article I get the impression it's built from the same plans, but in a different factory.
It's fairly common for any smaller batches produced mobile devices to be a bit slow to develop & hit the market.
It's still a grift and a rip-off, but the phone having been on the market for just under 2 years is not the worst part.
Johnmannesca@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 81d
