The absolute state of Android Community in Freelancing

In the Android community, freelancers often build apps for businesses. And here comes the custom ROM community folks.

Some people are offering custom ROM development gigs on Fiverr, claiming to provide Pixel OS with full Google services. What's shocking is their FAKE claims, like developing for ANY device—even Android 6, which is impossible as many devices just don't support bootloader unlocking.
They also call themselves "XDA-recognized," yet clearly don't know that commercially redistributing GMS outside of MADA is 'illegal'. And they’re selling it all for $1200.

And now comes the masterminds who discovered the ultimate hustle: take a free ROM like GrapheneOS or LineageOS, REBRAND it, and SELL it for $400 on Fiverr—because who needs to pay developers when you can just hit 'repackage'?"

Some people even created a gig to "advise" others on which smartphone to buy, charging $5 for something we've been doing for free 😭😭😭

Alan Wake Remastered [Xbox]

1. Grab the free trial of Alan Wake 2 https://xbox.com/games/store/a/9PNZH065X7PV
2. Alan Wake Remastered should then appear as 100% off "Because of a recent purchase on Xbox" https://xbox.com/games/store/a/9NKB1B50PZLZ
3. If you get asked for payment info, you should be able to hit back and try again. I wasn't asked for payment info so idk.

I don't have an Xbox so I can't test if the game actually installs. This is definitely a bug so no idea how long it'll last and whether the licenses will be revoked later.

This is the forced update for the pixel 4a for those who didn't understand the context of the post yet

Google dual sourced battery for the Pixel 4a for cost cutting. The ATL battery models 4a are unaffected and going good as usual.
However, with the Lishen battery model, Google is quite serious with the 4a to avoid a class action lawsuit.

I want to meet the person who switched from iPhone 16 Pro to Nothing Phone 2a Plus (not even Phone 2) only because of NothingOS

The hardware of the smartphone doesn't matter to that guy because Carl Pei knows that it is possible only through cheap marketing by paying people around.

This makes it even easier to believe the claim that his Nothing company is just 1 failed product away from shutting down entirely.

Also, why do these banking apps cares what other apps has the user installed on their smartphone outside the play store ? 💀
Clicking on Proceed button simply removes the notification and the banking screen appears normally 🤷🏼‍♂️

Anyways, UNKNOWN_INSTALLED field of Play Integrity API is responsible for showing this notification to the users

Galaxy S25 Series is the most boring and useless Samsung Galaxy S Series ever

Samsung is so scared that they are NOT even allowing customers to cancel the Galaxy S25 series who pre-ordered it from the Samsung website instead of Amazon or other e-commerce websites, arguing that "its a premium product".

The product isn't even packed yet to be shipped. After insisting, Samsung India is then charging a fee of Rs. 2,999 (35$) to cancel the product. Even Apple allows cancellation without any fees.

Meanwhile, YouTuber JerryRig has confirmed in his durability test that the Galaxy S25 series camera rings are FAKE. Watch it here

25 year old Rhiannon Evans of Wales, the United Kingdom, has been sentenced for a short stinted cyber harassment campaign which consisted of her farting into her cell phone camera.

As a result of an on-going child custody conflict, Ms. Evans began sending Deborah Prytherech videos of herself farting into her phone camera.

From December 22nd, 2024 - January 1st, 2025, Ms. Evans continued to send videos of herself farting into her cell phone camera, subsequently turning the camera toward her face, and smiling, to Deborah Prytherech several times a day.

Deborah Prytherech went to the police. Local authorities found the messages indecent or grossly offensive.

Representatives of Ms. Evans state Ms. Evans had been under the influence of alcohol and did not intend to cause distress to Deborah Prytherech. Court officials disagreed and asserted Ms. Evans smiling following each fart was sufficient to prove malicious intent.

Ms. Evans has been sentenced to:
- £100 in compensation to the victim
- £199 in court costs
- Abstain from alcohol for two months
- Complete 15 rehabilitation sessions
- A two-year restraining order prohibiting contact with Deborah Prytherech

The situation is NOT good. (post summarized by ChatGPT)

Hector Martin discusses a controversial forced update for Google Pixel 4a that appears to significantly reduce battery capacity. The update introduces a new kernel, but it was built on an engineer’s personal machine rather than the proper build system, violating GPL rules and showing signs of a rushed implementation.

Critically, the update lowers the maximum charge voltage from 4.44V to 3.95V, which directly impacts battery performance. This change only affects Lishen (LSN) batteries, while Sunwoda (ATL) batteries remain unaffected. A new “debug” battery profile cuts capacity in half (3080mAh → 1539mAh), suggesting deliberate throttling.

Users can check their battery type by looking at the number next to the QR code—8230015901 indicates ATL (good), while 8230020501 is LSN (bad).
