  • I don’t know if I would trust that, though.

    Google’s authorized repair centers have diagnostic tools and software that allows very deep access to the phone. Something that a random maintenance mode wouldn’t hide.

    When you take your Pixel in for repair, they force you to factory reset it, because they take privacy serious. They don’t want anyone to have access to your data through their repair tools.

    I’d actually be very skeptical about this if I had a Samsung device. Is there proof that this mode cannot be accessed by their repair tools?



  • So even if another company releases a tracker (like Pebblebee), it still won’t work until Google is able to push the necessary updates to Google Play services.

    Ya, but if that takes them a few months, my concern is that there will be a better tracker, or these trackers will be on sale or something.

    Sucks to have a purchase sit in limbo for an unknown amount of time when tech moves fast.




  • I hate this response.

    Mojang also spies on your private server hosted on your own PC with your own internet playing with your own friends.

    Mojang shouldn’t get that kind of control. That’s crazy.

    Also, does Mojang require photo ID before they ban people for “slurs”? I’m not sure if a black person should get banned for saying the N word on their own private server.

    Maybe if Mojang helps pay for my internet bill or my electricity bill they can have control over my private server. Until then, they can kindly screw off.

    And the fact they’ve released patches specifically to block mods that remove chat reporting and nothing else goes to show how scummy they are.

    Chat reporting should only be enabled on PUBLIC REALM servers hosted by Mojang. That’s really the only place you can justify what they are doing.




  • Every other phone is full of garbage bloatware that is not easily uninstalled from the worse companies, like Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft.

    Other companies promise updates, but you’re waiting months if not years (or even never) for them.

    and most importantly, every other phone I have used is super laggy or stuttery. Even though the Pixel 6/7 have lesser specs than the S22 Ultra, the S22 Ultra performed terribly compared to my 6 Pro (I now have a 7 Pro).

    I posted a comment on Lemmy about my experience with my S22 Ultra and how it was filled with ads, despite it costing $2000 CAD ($700 MORE than the Pixel 6/7 Pro) and being an unlocked model.
