       I believe all hardware should be open to user modification in hardware and software.If a manufacturer stops providing software support/updates for a device, I should be able to run my own code on it with no barriers so I can support it myself with my own kernel/OS or another community maintained system.I should also be able to upgrade it with newer parts over time without having to own a soldering iron or have serialisation on the parts.We need control over our legally bought devices.

       This is why jailbreaking/hardware hacking exists. We work around what companies set on us because they want money.We'll hack devices to make them last longer until we die as I very much doubt that these for-profits will have a change of ethics.(Notice how I didn't say change of heart? Yeah, they don't have one. Shocker.)So yeah. Buy that Apple device. Buy that locked Android. Break their security. Find vulnerabilities but use them responsibly to truly own them.Hack what's yours.

       @mrmasterkeyboard often your personal devices are a kind of extension to your own body. so bodily autonomy should hold with themwhat this means is that you need full control over them, no exceptions. no weasel-words. full control

       @mrmasterkeyboard a part of your body must not be owned by someone else
