  I thought nothing was going to be the OG oneplus, bringing flagship killers at decent prices. Not the case, I got the first ear ones, had heaps of issues, no help from support and they stopped updating them. Years go by, looking for a watch, try the CMF watch by nothing, I’ve had nothing but connection issues and bugs and a dislike for the weird lack of customisation (can’t make a timer widget unless its one of the set times they choose? Why??) It’s put me off ever getting a phone by nothing.

  Not at all surprising for anyone who followed this company for a while. They’ve pretty much been all marketing. The phones are far from what they are advertised to be. Hell, it’d be great if they at least worked properly.

  Not that it isn’t scummy, but the screenshots in the article show that the Facebook app can be uninstalled, and the “Meta Services” app can be disabled. So it’s not the end of the world.

    Can it be uninstalled, or just “uninstalled”? I’m concerned it’s going to be like andoid, where it gives you the option to “uninstall” chrome, but it just reverts it to the factory image and leaves a gaping hole in your security.

  Privacy, user control and consent means nothing to these companies.

  More new ways to spy on us. Nothing is a good brand, but this is wrong. ( •_•)

    @Mattr @Toasted_Breakfast They're trying some things like lock-screen ads on some models too. Turned "off" by default (for now). But their Phone (3) isn't getting that, if i understand correctly. Just the (a) models.

  With ongoing enshittification in the quest for the lowest common denominator, why it might as well be mandatory to keep a 3310.
