In my country, there is court executioner, who has legal right to act with your bank account, and transfer part of your salary (of course leaving necessary for monthly bills). It might take some 30 years to pay it off, or he might not ever pay it off completely. Probably easier to just become homeless, and stop working at all

Android uses proprietary drivers that are mostly compiled in by system manufacturer, and actual Widevine support is passed to hardware for verification. Afaik Pocophone does have only basic level, so Netflix won't work on it

Comment So, where is the investigation? (Score 2) 21

I am player of Niantic games for more than 6 years, as far as I can tell - they are logging your interactions at certain points of interest, but not every location.
You can actually send GDPR request to them, and you will get your history back - many have done so, and there are only interactions that you intentionally do.

There are things like egg/portkey hatching, where your location is sent to Niantic in order to calculate distance you have walked, however i hardly doubt they are storing it, as they have enough problems with other mechanics due to server capacity.

Not to mention things like GPS drift, and GPS spoofing - the raw location and movement data is mostly useless.
I do turn my spare phone into hotspot mode while at home in order to get more distance - i get about 10km/hour just because my GPS is inaccurate. Imagine how useful this is, if all hardcore players are doing that.

That's true for everything _except_ the speed of light in a vacuum which is a universal physical constant. Everyone measures the same speed of light even if you are travelling at 99% of the speed of light parallel to a laser beam according to an observer in the lab you will still measure the speed of the photons in the beam as being equal to the speed of light.

This is best explanation about light speed, i have ever seen. Just to add - is it due to your time being so slow, that it causes speed of light to be the same?

Comment Re:Shit Android skins (Score 1) 16

It is not that bad, if you compare it to other android skins.. Literally every manufacturer makes their own skin. Search for Poco launcher, it's intended for Pocophone to look more like clean android, but works on other xiaomi phones very well.

Additionally, Xiaomi has one of best software updates, even few years old phones are getting regular updates.
