I think it’s due to some other setting, like “wipe the phone if password is entered wrongly ten times”. It’s possible to enter bootloader mode accidentally, but wipe the phone requires too many steps to be done multiple times in a row.

Backups and android always suck. They made it on the developer. It’s the developer that has to write a function to backup the settings on the Google servers. Not difficult, takes like a couple hours tops, but nobody is doing that.

Instead on iOS it works on the opposite way, the operating system backups everything and it’s the developer that has to waste a couple hours if they DON’T want their app data backupped on iCloud.

The result is that on iOS a backup restore gives you a almost 1:1 copy, while on Android a backup restore gives you a phone with all the apps resettled to zero

Already happening slowly? Look at genp

Do as we want and we will pay a 15% tax on everything. Otherwise, if you ignore us, we will pay a 15% tax on everything

Makes total sense

I use newpipe on phone but metube isn’t too hard to install with docker

The problem is that you also get malware with legit premium plugins. I bought a $59 plugin on codecanyon and my WordPress install was hacked because it had an unpatched bug that allowed anyone to register as admin.

Did not get any single warning email from codecanyon or the dev, I just got lucky that the hacker was dumb enough to try to claim my site on Google search console and Google warned me immediately, so I could just revert a backup after understanding what was going on. Luckily, again, the hacker left the hints in the admin panel by uninstalling my “premium” plugin, so I understood that was how he could get inside.

If it’s a new website, avoid WordPress. It’s a security mess and extremely inefficient. I am burdened by this technical debt, migrating now it’s very time consuming.

Android Lollipop was first released in November 2014, nearly 10 years ago

False statement from Google, as they know that OEM started to slowly adopt it over months. They still sold Lollipop devices in 2018
