Yeah, it's easy to do.

And you could do it with a large language model.

You could sit there and be walked through on how to do it, which is a great part of that.

No, it's not something I would do with a phone that you care about the first few times because you're going to jack things up.

You have to get the bootloader and essentially the starting mechanisms of the phone that launches all of the other things, you have to get down to a level and

unlock that so that you can... Is that available for all Android phones?

No, not all Android phones.

Lots of them lock it down, so you can't do that.

No, not this one.

So the question has to become, can you unlock the bootloader?

And that is the starting... Think of it as the starting engine of the rest of the phones.

I'm not sure why they do it that way.

I haven't looked into that.

It's just pixels.

And the older Samsung's made it available.

Older Galaxy S7s, S10s, you could do more than you can with like, and I've got the Galaxy Fold here, and you can do almost none of that on here.

That is fucking sweet, though.

Yeah, I love this phone.

But like I said, I went away from doing all that, A, because it was work.

B, because I'm not working in national security anymore, and I haven't written an exploit in years.
