I'm in the lucky position to live as far away from the US as humanly possible, but I still fail to see how that's an achievement.

I don't think that's necessarily a bad idea. Too many people are still not backing up their data, and the article says "...automatically save to OneDrive or your preferred cloud destination".

As long as they really give users full freedom to choose any cloud service, I consider that a win.

I don't think that's what the OP intended to ask.

Receiving a salary doesn't mean a clergyman can run around drunk and stoned, there are other guidelines to follow that aren't publicly available.

Green? Brown? Where I'm at it's either transparent or milky/white. Why would that stuff be colored?

Liquid diabetes you mean? That stuff is so sweet it makes my teeth ache worse than coke.

If you bought it outside of China that might be a thing, for Chinese phones it shows a cancel button only. There is a confirm button, but it's greyed out and not clickable.

Oppo = OnePlus

Huawei bootlaoders can't be unlocked, so absolutely no custom ROM there.

Honor bootlaoders can't be unlocked, so absolutely no custom ROM there.

Poco seems possible for now, never used one of their phones, but well good that there's something possible.

Apart from Xiaomi and OnePlus, which are released for international audiences, I'm not aware of a single Chinese phone with active rom development.

LOL. Chinese phones are way worse, they simply block installations of "unsanctioned" apps with no workaround.

My wife is Chinese and I used to live there for 7 years, it's an absolute privacy nightmare.
