i get that this is the android thread, so doing stupid poo poo specifically to bypass security is de rigueur, but why would i want to do that?

chip is too slow, so sabotaging my card and having to wait for it to fail 3 times and take the card in and out so I can eventually swipe is a totally feasible solution

quote:There are two possibilities here. First, this could simply be a bug in the listing that Google will fix at some point. Second, Google is locking the install count to hide the number of Pixels in the wild. As Pixels are the only phones that run the Pixel Launcher, this install count gives a general estimate of total sales. Before this change, the Pixel Launcher was in the 1-5 million installs group.

Generic Monk posted:why do you have to download the camera app from the store? you dont its preinstalled but if its on the store the manufacturer can update it without having to push an update to the phone. phone updates are routinely blocked by carriers so this allows the manufacturer to actually fix things without having verizon stopping them large portions of the os itself are also broken into apps which are on the store for the same reason

Last Chance posted:lol what a mess its worse than i presented in the interest of clarity weirdly there some os framework "apps" on the store that can be updated silently like google play services and the store itself so one would have to wonder why things like the webview or carrier frameworks need to present updates to the user. if a user were so inclined they could avoid updating apps critical to security by doing so within the play store interface (and its android so users are definitely inclined to do this)
