There’s a certain “people’s republic” where they introduced a new government signature on all android apps. For “safety”, as they “check” the apps for you 😉
For now it can be bypassed after three pages of scary warnings but in the future?
Maybe it could be a big reason of why they’re liking harmony os that much, you don’t need to manually approve android apps if android apps are completely unsupported
Can you install a jailbreak OS, or is that not allowed for “safety”?
In this specific case can do it but the bootloader unlock request must come from a Chinese ip address, from a verified Chinese number (get otp code via SMS) and wait like one month
And I bet this process is going to add you to some list of people to keep an eye on.
Augh i hate xiaomi so much.
Businesses tend to follow local laws, even outside China.
Have you tried yelling " WHOOP WHOOP" at it?
Fucking Smart Phones, how do they work?
At least your country is down with the clown.
Whoop Whoop
Fucking phones, how do they work?
Well you bought a Chinese phone. The Chinese government likes to restrict what its people see like all authoritarian governments.
Get something with stock Android or iOS. Better yet, go foss droid
pixel with a custom ROM for OG freedom lovers!
I’ve got your ICP registration info right here baby WOOP WOOP

Why have we given juggalos so much power?
It was always going to end this way.
It must run on magnets.
Because there’s magic everywhere in this bitch
Hot lava, snow, rain, and fog. Long-neck giraffes and pet cats and dogs.
FAFO… bought the chinaman phone, got fucked by the chinaman
Gonna be one yike from me, fam.
Why did you even buy a phone meant for the Chinese market in the first place?
Could live in China.
Odd since he is on an Italian-speaking instance
Plenty of foreigners live in China and sign up with smaller lemmy instances that aren’t blocked (yet). lemmy.world (and funny enough,.ml) are. I also chose mine because it wasn’t blocked, spent almost 7 years in China and only left in July.
Presumably because it’s much cheaper.
There are reasons why it’s cheaper, and none of them improve your life.
Well today it’s maybe a bad idea (I havent really digged through it all recently but it seems to be a not good idea), but back in the day Xiaomi was the beast phone for cheap, with all the bells & whistles like swappable battery, sd card, good CPU & RAM etc. for a fraction of the cost of an iPhone or Samsung.
So well, time changes!
It sucks!
Don’t buy Xiaomi.
I used MIUI.EU on Xiaomi phones for some years and it was pretty great (and inexpensive). But I wouldn’t suggest it in the USA because the carriers here don’t always play nice with them.
ICP?
That’s right; the Insane Clown Posse demands you register your apps with them for your saftey.
