A smartphone is a handheld computer. Why should it be restricted to what software the company arbitrarily decides should be allowed to run on it?
Also suggests she's a technically minded person who likes to know how things work and is not satisfied with a black box. Jailbreaking uncovers the complex machine a smartphone truly is, something that Apple tries very hard to hide behind its patronizingly simple interface.
Fun hobby, sometimes challenging.
I have several android phones all with a unique OS that isn't the default google android.
My daily phone is running GraphenesOS that restores your privacy by sandboxing googles apps away from the main system. As well as some other hardening functions.
First of all, keeper.
This person has a lot to teach you about the pursuit of freedom. Why don't you ask her? And ask her to teach you?
Damn, the kids sound cool these days
Most of them are, especially her! She got my son into it :)
Admit it, you only made this post to brag about the cool kids you know!

You basicly described Uno. Which is jailed Macau.
I've heard of some younger kids getting into older digital cameras and camera phones. Apparently it's like having an (old-timey) Instagram filter built in.
Not sure if that's the reason, but I know I've done jailbreaking and odd tech stuff 'just because I can'
