By force mainly. Most average joes have no idea how to stop it from auto updating. I guarantee this is where these numbers are coming from.

They sussed that a lot of us are using older OS's on our phones, And that some of us block all of android & google's shit (literally all of it), And that said people will never receive a 'devoloper verification' on their device. I will sideload whatever I want, Whenever I want and no fucking 'big tech' dickhead is gonna make me do otherwise. I would rather destroy my phone entirely than give these people an inch. And I'm not fucking joking.

Anything you want, It's still the same old shit. This SI, AI, Whatever only benefits one class of people. And we all know who those are.

You could use RI (real intelligence) and just never buy anything from these piss takers again. Trust me you won't be missing much.

But I'm struggling to see why this is suddenly a problem now for you when in the past you just ignored it. Tech is good (well sometimes) but this just states to me that you are not fit to do your job and now are trying to hand it off to some dumb AI. Please tell me where the logic is here. Why are you even in your job? Oh, Same excuse as everything else. Money. Sorry but that's not good enough.

People finally sussed it out. And I'm sure the Gamers Nexus video has done this. These are being snapped up for one reason only. To be used as internet holes. It's the only way to stop the spying, Not just from LG, But from them all. It's a long time coming but it is here finally. People are waking up to the real issues online.

Gives a shit, I'm not giving any of them a penny of my money and I have zero desire to use anything they 'create'. It's a total waste of time, And they will soon find this out. The hard way, Obviously.

They can close that as far as I'm concerned. The less google in life, The better.

Is a simple answer to this. Use enterprise 10 iot. Supported until 2032. I use it, And everyone else should too. My personal rig will never, Ever see win 11 on it. And that is because it is me cleaning up the aftermaths of other peoples machines that do run it. And there is one one major factor here that is fucking everything up. It's AI vibe coding, And microsoft being to lazy to actually do any work on their own 'flagship' product. In fact to be honest it isn't even a product anymore it is nigh on malware.

It's simple, Just stop 'updating' your phone and stay on an older version of android. I'm on 13v and not moving. I don't believe the hype. Security this security that it's all a bunch of excuses to lock you down further. It's a phone ffs, There is no more innovation, I'd rather keep my functionality than get some bigger bump on the back of my phone, Or AI assistants, Or any other crap they want to put on there.

Why would you want to do that?

I guess you are dumb enough to use whatsapp, Believe their claims of encryption and so forth. Please tell me why 96 of the population is so dumb and can't see the big picture here? USE SIGNAL FFS. IT DOES EXACTLY THE SAME THING without the bollocks. No ZUCKERBERG, No BEZOS, No SATYA, And fully encrypted. Don't trust any of these cunts because they definitely don't have an ounce of care for you, Your data, Or your life. They don't even want us here.

You ain't even close to doing that with me, Because I am simply not as stupid as you think I may be. You think a bunch of social media posts is gonna change my way of thinking? Are you really that dumb? And there is no 'wake up' 'woke' or any of that other bullshit you like to spew out, Common sense prevails here and I work with facts not fiction. If some news post or fishbook post makes you think otherwise, Then you seriously need to start using your brain before your eyes.

Great news to be fair, I use DNS domain blocks all the time. Redirects ahoy!

Nothing to do with particle accelarators? You know, those 7TeV electromagnets spinning at Ungodly amounts of speed over miles of distance? It's the only plausible thing on this planet that could affect the earth's iron core. But nah, Nothing to do with it, Of course. Brains people use them.
