@fsfe Now we need to stop banks from insisting that their dodgy apps can only be secure on a non-rooted phone.
(personally, I found it much more secure to do banking using a desktop machine which required me to also have access to a PIN for a second device to login rather than needing nothing but a mobile phone and four digits).

@fsfe please use alt-text or image description to make your post more inclusive.

This makes the legality of such acts unclear. So, you can root your phone, but if you wish to keep the warranty intact without any problems, then reverse the root to the stock operating system and check if everything was undone. If the stock OS functions as it should, then you do not have an issue.

Some manufacturers, like Samsung, will permanently disable certain features when you unlock the device, even if you restore the device to stock.

@fsfe I really wanted to boost this, but it has media without alt text.

@fsfe just another thing to add to the list of downsides to Brexit.

@fsfe thabk you!
