Knox just displays a message when you boot the device. You can still install a custom ROM. I'm typing this on a Samsung tablet running LineageOS.
Never said the fuse prevented the execution of a non-Samsung OS.
But the tripped efuse is permanent.
I assumed because of the headline.

Another company to add to the list.
Last I hear OnePlus was on the verge of collapse. Not because of this, but because of the mismanagement since carl left. It will probably be absorbed into oppo soon enough https://www.androidheadlines.com/exclusive-oneplus-collapse.
At the end of the day the makers of smartphones determine if you can mod their products to their liking or not, and in most cases they really hate it because they want to continue selling phones and make them more difficult to fix without special tools.
How I was then doing fine with a feature phone allowing me to play music and take pictures. That was in 2009.
so does that mean we're done with OnePlus?
Havent we for a while?
I personally never trusted Chinese phone no matter how good they were.
Ironically, the best phones for security and privacy are Google's Pixel phones because they're the only ones that GrapheneOS supports
