No special skill…
I know lots of people that A. Have no idea what model phone they got and B. It would at the very least take 10 min to guide them to where they can find it. Saying “all the information needed is available at a forum” would in itself be a step too complicated.
Yeah but the bar for that skill is gradually lowering, just ask the old timers, it used to be hard to tie knots, hell some young guys can only barely just tie their own laces lol
Most importantly: the banking-apps won’t work. And as a Dutchman, where creditcards are virtually non-existent, I need my banking-apps to pay my regular bills.
Use a nice rooted phone as your daily driver and keep a shitty burner to use on wifi for any such finicky apps. Keep it off so the camera/mic is useless.

True enough. And the persons I described are also the least likely to care about the issue described in the article.
My SO can’t even tie their own shoes… absolutely embarrassing. And they are an educated person who is teaching students in university.
I think some skills we take as trivial others just never bothered putting the time to master sue to a cost benefit analysis.
There are just so many things in the world.
yeah but then suddenly play store treats your mobile as rooted, and important every day apps wont work

The are ways to make almost all banking apps work on a rooted, even de-googled, phone. See here: https://lemmy.world/post/683341
It’s funny how ABN AMRO works on my rooted phone but the Toyota app for my car flags rooted phones as unsafe.

The off button doesn’t actually turn your phone off anymore
That’s fine. A cheap burner with a removable battery works fine.
