That's a fair point. It depends on the manufacturer. Some brands don't have google play preinstalled. I probably should have mentioned that before, sorry mate. The Xiaomi I had didn't have playstore installed, so I had installed fdroid and aurora store. I'm actually not sure about the future of aurora store with this play store integrity bs.
Is there a specific link, or is this like an app on my Google account?
Yes they are. And it's bleak.
Install a custom ROM. Or buy a Chinese made phone, such as Xiaomi (which I do not recommend***).
Edit: some custom ROM links in no particular order:
*** Edit 2: I don't recommend the route of a Chinese brand, because I've had only bad experiences.
It's not his fault. He used meta ai to engineer the network, and it had wifi issues.

I found my old iphone 3g, and want to use it as an mp3 player for my niece. However, I can't, for the life of me, remember the pin I set for the restrictions, and I can't reset it without that. Is there any way to reset it without that pin? I already got everything I wanted to keep off of it, so I'm fine if everything gets deleted. Like I said, I want to give it to be niece as an mp3 player, but want it reset first.
I found a pen with a very minimalistic design that I really like, but I've never heard of the brand.
Is Bastion brand fountain pens a decent brand?
At $20, I'm not expecting the world, but I also don't expect garbage at that price point.
The reviews look fine enough, but those are so easy to fake, so I wanted to ask the real experts here at Fountain Pens.
They also routed all traffic from within the building to their dev server. Who does that?? Vlan that shit. Noobs
