linux won't recognize this pixel-xl over usb. i am inconsolate.

@noiob i do now, thank you. though unlocking the bootloader eludes me.

@noiob the problem is the oem unlock is always greyed out, and is notoriously difficult to change on the Verizon version of this phone.

between the end of life on updates, the verizon unlock prohibition, and the dodgy not-meant-to-be-replaced battery, this functional pixel-xl is practically e-waste.
