Tried to de-Google an old Samsung A50 today. The plan: a 1-hour job to turn it into a privacy-focused node manager (Lightning, DNS, Vault). 10 hours later, Iโm staring at a "Custom Binary Blocked by OEM Lock" screen.

Itโs a brutal reminder of the state of "ownership" in 2026. You pay for the device, you hold the atoms, but the manufacturer owns the logic. We aren't owners; we are just tenants of a supervised license.
This is why Freedom Tech and Open Source matter. Itโs not about tinkering; itโs about the right to own the tools we use to navigate the world. If we don't own our hardware, our hardware owns us.

P.S. If Google/Samsung is a walled garden, Apple is a maximum-security prison with gold-plated bars. Even worse.
