I installed NetGuard about a month ago and blocked all internet to apps, unless they’re on a whitelist. No notifications from this particular system app (that can’t be disabled) until recently when it started making internet connection requests to google servers. Does anyone know when this became a thing?
Edit 2: I bought my Pixel 6 phone outright, directly from Google’s Australian store. I have no creditors.
Were the courts not enough control for creditors? Since when are they allowed to lock you out of your purchased property without a court order?
I don’t even live in the US, so what the actual fuck?
Edit 1: You can check it’s installed (stock Pixel 6 android 14) Settings > Apps > All Apps > three dot menu, Show system > search “DeviceLockController”.
I highly recommend getting NetGuard, you can enable pro features via their website if you have the APK for as low as 0.10€, but donate more, because it’s amazing. You can also purchase via Google Play store.
Remember when Google said don’t be evil. Ha
I think it was “don’t. Be evil.”
“Don’t be.” -Evil
It was actually closer to: you don’t have to be evil to make money
But they’ve definitely lost their way
Well yeah, you don’t need to be evil to make money, but you can make more money by being evil.
So, don’t be evil until you have a commanding market presence, and then be evil to make even more money.
Seems to be the MO of any large org.
‘Dont be evil’ was a warning to the users…cause google be watching you.
Their definition of evil was insubordination, their way of telling people to listen to them, while also trying to legitimize their message.
It was a command to the slaves using their services: “Don’t be evil.(We will know and judge)”
