/tech/ - Technology

They don't exist. Phones came out later than PCs, when capitalism already figured out how to do tech and didn't have to carry on legacy. So the free market gives you choice with phones: get screwed over or get screwed over, or get fucked.

What's a brand that'll fuck me up the least

Brands exist to fuck you up. Buy used pixel and install lineageos or maybe grapheneos (never tried the latter). Or even use stock, stock on pixels seems the least cursed. Pixels seem to age well, surprisingly, and even get stock security updates for a somewhat reasonable period, and they're very popular.
Always buy used, it's unethical to pay corpos. You already pay them with your data, don't pay with real money on top of that.

I simply buy a new smartphone for €70 every year and throw the old one away. Smartphones are short-lived, disposable items that aren't worth agonizing over. They’re all the same and even the cheapest devices handle the basic functions.
