Checks were definitely written.

Balances were certainly also involved.

Just not the ones you hoped for.

Well, you should not!!!

The researchers found preinstalled malware on devices with model names associated with legitimate manufacturers, including the Doogee S200 X and Cubot KINGKONG X, as well as phones impersonating Samsung and Apple products.

In case you were wondering which brands are mentioned here.

Sad read. Sociopaths should really not consider raising kids.

I am sure they collect it. But they do not show it freely. Katharina had to request all the data, what the OP article talks about is just shown without any request.

Dude, there are so many places online you can get free insults from, I mean you are already here so why not post about the Ukraine war on lemmy.ml or mistake Star Trek for Star Wars or something.

Does not look like they do this on German Amazon.

Is it really spying if people are giving out all their info freely? I guess the agent with its cutesy demeanor is kind of pressuring people to do that, which is obviously not ok.

But a different side of this is people just not giving a shit about any of this. And not for the first time. Facebook wouldn’t try this if they didn’t know most people would go for it. Not saying that to justify their actions, but we desperately need people to realise what the outcome of all this is.

There was a time when I was excited for any new hardware coming out. That was long ago.

“reportedly”

That implies there was an Elon that is different from the lizard person and that is simply not true. There was only ever lizard person.

“owe”

You might have excelled at it already

Maybe my tone was a bit negative, I definitely appreciate you posting this! Good to know about alternatives, I’ll keep them in mind if I am looking for new earbuds. For now I went back to wired oldschool earbuds and over ear headphones. Still using the beans though every now and then, just their battery life is slowly getting worse.

Interesting, hadn’t seen this before.

They keep emphasizing its comfortable, but it definitely does not look like it.

I’d like to believe it is but I also know that the majority of people online do not give a damn about user experience and things getting shittier. I do not understand these people, but its because of them this shit is still happening. If they all left sites like reddit there’d be no incentive to become shittier and shittier.

Not trying to shift blame though, in the first place its companies like reddit even coming up with strategy who are to blame.

I just hate how most earbuds these days are “in ear”. Still love using my old Samsung Beans, and I will always refuse to call them by their real product name.
