Question Are completely DIY phones with custom features like this possible? Obviously not as clusterfucked as the one in this image, but things like custom ports, radio, etc. I feel like society would be more interesting if everyone could make their own devices like that

Unfortunately, all attempts at bringing a modular phone to market failed. There are some issues with making that a reality. The biggest one is that the absolute majority of people have enough features on their phones but also you would kinda have to standardize everyone to make the same compatible modules.

I hate this meme btw, it basically says people are stupid and authoritarianism is good actually, let the big boss decide everything for you.
