    Great. I’m still disgruntled by them restricting device-trees, AOSP development and app installation in the future.

        Yeah, looks like a coordinated effort. They’re re-aligning other things as well. They also forfeited their pledge not to develop AI for weapons and surveillance. Joined that “age restriction” effort to collect people’s IDs. And I’ve seen a massive crackdown on Youtube, from ramping up advertisements, making it harder to circumvent these, or download videos, to what they pay to creators which has also reportedly changed substantially.

        I guess Android is amongst the more annoying ones, because we all rely on smartphones and the operating system on there.

    Stop buying that shit!

    You know what I just discovered? My phone has a laser right next to the camera and it is on all the time.

    If you have an automatic shade welding helmet, all you gotta do is put it on and look at your phone. The shader will be blinking like at 60Hz going completely berserk and without doing a thing.

    Your phone is basically a laser mapping system just measuring your house and sending Google the data.
