Anyone wants to take one for the team and spoil the article? I don't click on clickbait article. I'm curious but fuck this practice.

This isn't an article. It's an ad.

This is just an ad covered in more ads.

It is worse. You’re willingly feeding them the data that’s needed for ads.

Any ad marketing people here can say how they themselves feel when targeted by ads. Do you feel like Ah man that’s a good ad, good job whoever made that or do you feel like the rest of us and can’t stand em all .

I'm sad to see so much click bait on this site.

That hacker known as “4Chan” is at it again!

Yeah they are collecting on Android too but if you have Google Play Services, I like Google apps like Youtube, Gmail, Photos but I like to also minimize data collection using microG and I'm recommending this to anyone having custom vanilla ROM without Play Services.

I'm actually trying to be very careful with my data, to the point where I get sidelooks from some people who don't care at all. Yet I try to still be able to use the services I want to. Like Google Maps. I know that I am selling my data to them. But the service helps me so much in my everyday life that I am willing to pay this price. But also I use AdBlock on all of my devices. So I really don't care too much about advertising. I'm more concerned about other consequences like, individual pricing, or change of government to a dictatorship which would prosecute me for my beliefs I posted online, or Netflix not fuing finishing the series because they already calculated that they wouldn't make as much fuing money as they would like to.

So is MementoMori half bot, half human? I’ve blocked bots because they post so many articles of poor quality, but then you have people like this who also posts a lot of low quality posts without any opening comment, but is not marked as a bot and occasionally write some comments.

This is not only an ad written by a hack, it contributes to widespread gaslighting on what our phones do.

It's well documented that our phones are always listening and sending keywords to advertisers.

Battery life is the single biggest indicator of how invasive our phone are.

If you're old enough to remember flip phones, you know they'd last easily days, to a week, or even longer between charges.

Even as Blackberrys came about with GPS navigation, WiFi, Bluetooth, etc, the battery life stayed about the same. Over time we've expanded the ability of those features, but we've also made them all significantly more power-efficient.

Some argue all the "always-on" features for optimizing signal and spontaneous device pairing is responsible, but these can all be turned off.

Even with all the Android Dev settings optimized for minimum background activity and all apps restricted, an S22 Ultra with 5000 mah battery will burn through most of its capacity in your pocket in a day.

Worth mentioning how tiny flip-phone batteries were too. A 500-900mah battery would take a flip-phone through a week where a modern smartphone with a 5000mah battery barely lasts a day.
