My Broca's and Wernicke's areas often go on and on about how good a job they would do with sudo privileges. And they say their arguments are well formed.
An unlocked bootloader can sometimes be converted to root, but it is not itself root. Once you unlock it, now you need something to ask it to boot: you need a working kernel for that device. I, for the record, cannot find the GPL2 source code for the kernel that is on this device, nor is that even guaranteed to allow me to boot it (due to Linux allowing binary blobs in modules, etc.). Therefore, I feel somewhat forced to use exploits to actually get root on the device so I can modify the software, or even dump the kernel from it and potentially take advantage of the unlockable bootloader.
Given the way that babies flail around uselessly and can't produce meaningful output for years, I was under the impression that vim was the default editor ;)
Come on.
UPD: I already have my mind where I don't have "root" on. It's kind of a black box. And it is counterproductive.
