LOL genuinely thought it was a case of "engineer hates the user", instead it was a case "management said we need to save 5 cents for the voltage regulator"
Google enforces rules only against small devs. Big companies are allowed to do what the fuck they want.
Example with one of those "ad viewing apps disguised as games", every single screenshot is misleading, showing a different game to what actually will be downloaded. It's clearly a violation of Google Play terms that read:
Screenshots must demonstrate the actual in-app or in-game experience, focusing on the core features and content so users can anticipate what the app or game experience will be like. Use captured footage of the app or game itself.
In the example not a single screenshot demonstrate the actual game experience.
Google sees the big cash influx from ad impressions and IAP from whales and is closing all the eyes
Tencent and Alibaba instead are still allowed to illegally fingerprint and track the user by placing tracking data in /Pictures/.gs_fs0 which for some reason they can access even without storage/photo permission
I saw a bank in my country requiring to have the permission for apps usage, the one that you have to go in settings and toggle it. Refuse and it closes the app
I don't know a single bank that hasn't reinvented the wheel and is using their app as a glorified authentication app for generating totp codes
And then i complained that my bank blocked access if adb was enabled...
If there's no loan attached to that account, for me this message reads "sorry, we don't want you as a customer. Please contact a bank teller to have a full refund, uninstall this app and don't forget to leave a 1 star review"
I'm not willing to compromise on this shit. My phone is my phone.
No it shouldn't validate the license, at the time I purchased it using a Google workspace legacy account and when they raised the prices I deleted the account and it didn't complain
Put the apk on an old android 8 phone and doesn't crash. One day I'll try to inspect logcat to see if it's something that can be fixed
main issue is that i purchased the pro, and there's only the free over there... wait! I can take the apk from the old phone before I wipe it! OMG why i didn't thought of that, i'm dumb. (no sarcasm, I actually forgot to take the apk from the old phone and i was about to wipe it! Thank you for mentioning that!)
edit: fuck.... on android 15 the app crashes when going in background... so it's the dev that intentionally delisted for everyone as low sales = patch not worth the time 😢
It's a cr2032 from Duracell with that coating, later I'm going to try that
I can't believe everyone knows such an obscure reference
Raid wasn't designed for data safety but to minimize downtime. Just swap the drive an continue operating the server seamlessly. Full backups are still required as the chance of complete failure isn't zero
Nice try, openai bot (/s)
