Mandated is the wrong word. “Required for absolutely everything” is more precise. In Denmark you need an app called “MitID” to do any kind of digital verification. You can’t do online purchases, banking or digital bureaucracy without it.

I would love to make the switch, but I am certain that absolutely zero of my government mandated apps will run on this thing.

I had a Galaxy Note 10 die on me after just a little over 2 years (such a shitty fucking phone) and then, swearing I would never pay so much for a phone again, switched to a Motorola Edge 30. It cost less than a third of the Samsung, and it even came without the bloating bullshit. Highly recommend it.

And still using micro-HDMI for some godforsaken reason

It’s like a more mountainous Denmark, with a more arrogant population. Awesome place!
