    I have two of those old phones, I flashed the stock but the Android was too low, I flashed the lineage with Android 13, re-locked the bootloader, and the App still fucking said no. Once you’ve opened the bootloader even once, a flag is set in the gsettings.

    At that point I wasn’t even sure if my boss was going to let me keep this job, so I just went out and bought a new phone that I knew would be delivered the very next day

      If it was a work requirement, it should have been provided by work. Employers passing their own costs down to employees needs to stop.

        Agreed, but welcome to the US where people are fearful of losing their health insurance because they got fired after pushing back at their job.
