Well that’s just great.
Here’s the website to see if your PIxel6a is an “impacted device”. Mine isn’t, not sure why… zero transparency on this.
Thanks for the link. I put my phone’s info in and it told me I’m eligible. But the color of the phone was completely wrong.
I’m done with Pixels. The first one was amazing. But the quality has been going gradually downhill for both the main series and the A series phones.
pixel 5 was there last great one, thats when they decided to enshitify with AI, devoting the whole line to only AI.
Is there a way to do it without a google account?
o shit, I was signed in.
Well bummer. I only use it for app development, so I keep it powered down most of the time, so it should be OK, right…?
I don’t think they’ve made the failure conditions public. That may not mitigate the risk.
RC car enthusiasts use “lipo guard” bags to control any runaway fires during charging and transport, one the size of a pixel is under $15.
Absolutely, it only requires you to allow a Google representative to check your pulse via fingering your asshole. It is worth noting that results and feedback of this authentication method vary based on age and sexual orientation*.
Why the fuck do I need to verify whether I’m an adult
Because children can die in a fire, I guess.
It’s probably a GDPR or similar requirement.

Because yours doesn’t have one of the batteries from the batch that catches fire.
