They're actively blocking North American and international iPhones from connecting to their Network. Apple has updates for each region that automatically download when you get there, but they're claiming it's a trade secret so only the phones they sell can get that update that's made by Apple for them. It isn't even a firmware update it's a little app that downloads in the background. Google does the same thing with Android, the pixel line, and anything running the stock with Google services or pixel experience.

They also refused to use the standard voice over LTE and refuse to let any thing that they didn't sell try to connect to their voice over LTE even if it's compatible. Leaving restricted Apple from enabling voice over LTE for iPhones not from Australia even though it's just a software update that you need that doesn't run on the firmware level.

They have to have graphics feature parody. So if you have Ray Tracy on the x you have to put it on the s, if you have complex shadows are lighting on the s you also have to put it on the x.

Then ruins oleds too. Oled need giant heat sinks to work properly, but they've been being very thin and having plastic bags so they can look sleek. It's especially obnoxious because full array LCDs and uniform thickness OLED are much thinner than the protruding bulge that comes out on most super thin TVs.

They are popular since they cost less than non internet version. This is them removing the internet/subscription version that they were tricking people with.

I'm in California and it was on by default. To comply with California rolls anyone in the US who resides in California can be covered even though it's not their billing address. So enabling anything like that by default or not prompting to have permission for cookies or selling data is in violation for anyone who does business in California. The gdpr rules also apply to anyone who's in EU citizen or resident even if they're outside of the EU so since T-Mobile does business in both they need to comply.

They do but not this T-Mobile. It's in violation of California's privacy rules to be opted in by default for something like this.

Trucks are commercial vehicles. People driving commercial vehicles should be professionals and we should have required a commercial class c license for all light duty pickup trucks or SUVs. Anything that gets an emissions credit so they can have lower MPG for being a commercial vehicle should also be classed as a commercial vehicle for licensing purposes.

And clocked at under half the low power mode frequency the chip was designed fornwhen used in tablets and handheld devices.

The socket has big reductions in ram and pcie signal integrity. If you don't plan to change the CPU and motherboard separately soldering it would save money and the store could do it for you when you order both together.
