@[email protected] Windows just keeps getting ever worse because nobody screams - "Stop. This is bad". I dumped Windows back when XP was still around. There has been no version of Windows that hasn't been bad in some way or another. I went from XP to OSX to Linux. I've used Linux exclusively for most of the past 10 years.

@Bro666 The annoying thing is most phones would work really well if it wasnt for the flimsy usb and the spyware. Most phones are truly bogged down with it, straight from the Chinese manufacturer

@Bro666 Dosn't that need the phone to be unlocked by the provider in order for a new OS to be installed?

@floofloof Yes - if you phone has wireless charging. Most do not. My current phone has an almost totally broken USB port. I'm considering cracking it open to add wireless charging capability. Or I could just find another cheap phone.

Yeah, tell that to the phone companies. I have a perfectly good iPhone 6s that I can only use for the one game that still works. Apple killed that phone for everything else through lack of support. Some for my iPad Mini. My Android phones are all made with flimsy USB connectors that always break and sometimes within literally weeks. The phones are still good but killed by bad USB ports.
