yes, thx for that hint indeed! Looks like I have to jump into that cold water indeed. (have to educate myself first on what that all involves exactly…)

I just am also frustrated that these big corps can make such anti consumer decisions and get away with it …

elsewhere is mentioned adoptable storage was removed by google though… ?

vanilla android 15 (auto-updated by sony/google)

has to do with Pixel not having an SD card slot, so Google stopped developing those part of the code

that or they want to promote their cloud offering …

isn’t encrypting an SD card a very basic feature though?

I don’t get it …

so far only option i found (but did not yet try) is for a rooted phone:

Thanks a lot for answering!!

time to switch to graphene or e/os?
