Updated my Samsung phone and it installed unwanted apps

  • In US it is common to buy carrier subsidized phones, and those come with their bloatware

  • I'm aware. It is forced standardization. As for "everyone", not sure how that is defined but I assume if Google, Samsung, HP, Dell etc decide, Apple has to go along.

  • You can't disable those without breaking GMS. Feel free to try though! And again, there is no guarantee that is what actually breaks Safetynet.

    Let's compare this to videogames. You can get banned without an update being pushed to you, because Safetynet is a server side DRM "service"

  • Yes, forced standardization

  • That is not what the law is about. We aren't locked to a single connector. We are however locked to a standard. Meaning if the industry wants to move they can, but they all have to do it at the same time.

  • No, they don't. And even if they needed to, they can do it without me knowing it. When was the last time Play gave you an update notification, let alone one that contained Play Services?

  • You do realize Safetynet is Google's service, running on their servers, right? If they change how it works in the background, it will break on your phone.

  • Yes because Google totally can't change Safetynet on their end... which is what happened last time I ran a custom ROM, in November 2021.

  • On that I will agree, but I still stand that self driving taxis are stupid. BUT, they are necessary due to how NA cities are built, and getting rid of them would require many other changes as well

  • Magisk and Safetynet do.

  • It does until it doesn't. Joy to one morning discover I can't pay for my bus ticket, while I'm already on the bus.

  • No, I'm not. Homeless on our public transit isn't an issue because our police actually responds to driver calls.

  • Not if you need to use apps that require Safetynet

  • You know what has much smaller fatality rates? Walking, bikes, trains and buses

  • Yes, but SanFran ain't one of those. Taxis have the same problem cars do, which is size.
