Of the largest android sellers, only samsung requires gplay. Xiaomi, vivo, oppo, realme, honor, are all chinese companies that require non-bundled google play for their domestic (and maybe other countries?) releases. Google can’t alienate these sellers, and if they did, all of these companies would create their own AOSP fork (or just switch to HarmonyOS)
I recently bought a xiaomi android tablet that doesn’t have google play services luckily.
Comrade dessalines, shilling chinese corpo slop instead of the standard open-source solutions.
Not very revolutionary!
While technically true, this feels malicious.
Let me swap the pedo king for shepooh!
I’m assuming hardware backdoor, or backdoor in general rabbit hole goes really deep, but I’m not tech literate enough to process it, so I just assume everything is backdoored in some way
Sir I am regarded
But I never seen any good tinfoil on the hardware level, wouldn’t it need physical acceess?
I guess it depends. Intel ME doesn’t need hardware access, it’s a backdoor in the open.
