Never buy a OnePlus phone ever again. They now have a hardware anti-rollback fuse that blows if you revert to an earlier version or install a custom ROM.

Oneplus phone update introduces hardware anti-rollback

Something doesn't check out.

So there are fuses in Qualcomm SoCs that can somehow be blown from the software? Fuses that, if blown, _only_ prevent installation of certain operating systems, but have no other effect on the functioning of the device?

I have a hard time believing whoever wrote that piece knows what a fuse is.

Ah, nevermind. Should've read the article before commenting.

That's pretty fuck up. I'd say you should not buy anything with a Qualcomm SoC in it.
