Yeah, this is the part that it feels like 80% of the world missed and/or doesn’t understand. The techbros usurped the term “AI”, applied it to this generative token predicting garbage, and renamed the other stuff “AGI”. In today’s terms if we want to look back at all that cool ‘AI’ stuff from movies and science fiction past, we need to call that stuff “AGI” to level set the terminology.
I hate companies going out of their way to try to keep me for modifying/repairing hardware I BOUGHT. 😛
The problem is right there in the name - “Oh shit, everyone has a set of Torx bits now… let’s fuck with them so they don’t work anymore! evil laughter” … even using Torx to try to “keep people out” though (which is by far the most common purpose I’ve seen and now of course we have companies like Nintendo and BMW trying to go even further and more proprietary to do it) can get fucked. I bought the hardware, it is mine.
Empty stub APKs, for the other Google Android Auto dependencies (e.g. Google Maps, TTS Text To Speech, …)
Can it be redirected rather than empty? I tried to use 3rd party GPS software with Graphene + AA and it still forced me to install Google Maps for even the 3rd party software to work :-/ … I do want GPS with traffic, I don’t want Google knowing every move I make and using it to make their executives richer.
Frickin Torx security bit. Hate those things.
THIS is what kept me from buying another after my 13 Ultra. Sad, I REALLY liked that phone with xiaomi.eu ROM on it.
