    They stated this, which you conveniently ignored to build your straw man:

    Later we found out that this request originates from microG, an open source re-implementation of Google’s proprietary core libraries and applications.

    And the hardware still communicated with a Qualcomm server, without using Google Services.

    This is a known issue and has been documented elsewhere. It still occurs under Lineage without Google Services.

      I’m not conveniently ignoring anything - I read the article. For them to find this out “later” would require that they didn’t understand what the fuck they were doing from the beginning.

        My life has gotten better since I started doing everything perfect the first time with full knowledge.

          Do you also try to sell a secure phone by inaccurate reporting, poorly researched guesses and casting aspersions on competitors and then report all the criticisms and inaccuracies at the end of your piece without editing it?

          That’s what happened here so your snark is completely off the point. Nobody expected perfection, but we do want accurate reporting and proper accountability.

        As I said before, they are hilarious in getting statements wrong. However, their facts about A-GPS are correct in their entirety (AFAIK).
