Hopefully you’re not working for NASA.

Just wait until they have to deal with places that don’t use full hours to adjust the time.

Whine all you want, doesn’t mean I have to listen to it - especially if you’re not going to listen to me.

Amazon app store actually was just killed for non-Amazon devices a couple months ago.

I wasn’t speaking about awareness of the existence of tracking. I meant how to safely disable it.

My current vehicle is just about 20 years old, so I’ve never had one connected to the net before. I’m dreading the day this thing finally dies, and I have to find one that doesn’t do that, or figure out how to kill the connection without affecting functionality.

I don’t use the Pay Store version, so I don’t know what you’re running into there. May not matter though, as I remembered after commenting that you have to have “Wireless Debugging” enabled, which requires the hidden-by-default “Developer Options” to be enabled - something I’ll bet the Parental Controls disallows anyway.

Sorry.

I never.

Install Shizuku to give the apps of your choice elevated rights. I use Hail from F-Droid, but it looks like this is a similar app on Play that’s used via Shizuku to “freeze” apps that you can’t remove. It keeps them from running and hides them from your app drawer.

OP said they can’t install from anywhere but the Play Store.

There needs to be a massive FYI campaign to inform the average citizen of how to do that.

Thx for the explainer - I have some research to do.

I’m not sure what that last part means, but TY.

I don’t ever want to have to set up my PC again. Will Tumbleweed be good to accomplish this for a user used to Windows?
