The Inquirer reports that Huawei has ended the support for bootloaders on its devices. This greatly reduces the utility and desireability of the phones for developers and others keen on customization. It's for our own good, apparently:
"In order to deliver the best user experience and prevent users from experiencing possible issues that could arise from ROM flashing, including system failure, stuttering, worsened battery performance, and the risk of data being compromised, Huawei will cease providing bootloader unlock codes for devices launched after May 25, 2018," the firm burbled.

There's no point in feeding that particular troll.
He has never been to Europe, and gets all his knowledge of it from Fox and Friends.
He probably thinks Paris is in Texas.

Probably been watching too many videos posted by German girls scared to walk their neighborhood streets. Or just sickened by the sadistic rape gangs terrorising European cities.
