Android is just the overarching system that allows tesla-like fuckups like Essential and OnePlus to exist and it's fair to blame it for that.

quote:

With cars becoming more connected than ever, cybersecurity is a hot-button topic that extends past your computer screen and into your car. Using a bit of technology, an alleged car thief was able to get his hands on a Model 3 at the Mall of America and drive away without needing a key. The alleged crime was reportedly committed via smartphone.

A computer forensics specialist who commented on the happenings of the incident was able to narrow down just how the alleged stolen Tesla was taken with such reported ease. The person allegedly responsible for taking the car is believed to have reached out to Tesla's customer support to add the stolen Model 3 to his Tesla account by its vehicle identification number. Once the vehicle was accessible on a smartphone that was signed into this person’s account, he was reportedly able to unlock the car and drive away without ever needing a key.

I don't follow this stuff closely but I think OnePlus is just another middling tier Android maker. I don't think they're noted for being much better at any of the things most Android makers are generally bad at.

Right now, if a person was looking at a non-Pixel Android, I'd suggest looking at some of the HMD "Nokia" phones that promise proper monthly security updates and 2 years of OS updates. That isn't great of course but I think it's better than anything else out there.

wasn't there some goon a while back who downloaded cyanogenmod nightly builds onto their phone every night. and they defended it with the logic "oh but it just does it while i'm sleeping". why yes fellow goon, this is a normal behavior, to download untested critical cell phone code every day that's pushed out by volunteers

we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
what if your telephone just sorta worked, out of the box?

that'd be lame, right?
