Thanks for the answer!

The google location timeline convinced me to get my ass off of Google more than anything so not having it is a big plus

Do location services work nicely without Play Services? I use them daily so I’m a bit hesitant to try…

Am I supposed to be impressed?
Most of these pirate TV Boxes run the rankest Android 4 ROMs you’ve ever seen.

Like wow, you’ve found a exploit on 2011 user-debug Android, amazing.
There used to be 1-click root apps for these shits back then, am I really supposed to be amazed that you managed to reproduce that and brick some shittily made boxes? Running old chipsets chock full of vulnerabilities? Running an ancient and unpatched OS? Running the shoddiest programmed piracy front-ends ever? Really?

Well, my dream is for them to focus on the fucking browser and nothing else but given the whole question about “What’s important to me in AI” I think that’s out of the picture already

Well if you run Movie_x265_Webrip.scr the joke’s on you tbh.
What really called my attention in the article is the sheer …polish? Of the Malware-as-a-service they’re using.

Look at this, they advertise it like it’s nothing. They even adopted that clean 3D style you often see on Chinese software. The fuck?

Okay, and now find a messaging app that supports RCS that isn’t Google or Samsung messages.

Being stuck to 2 apps, one of which is OEM exclusive sure defeats the point, now doesn’t it?

And RCS on top of not being available in a lot of places, is a closed standard, no matter how Google tries to spin it.
