There's so much tracking shit running on devices now that they actually slow down from it all.

I could see this news being a shocking revelation for teenage girls.

What? A persistent identifier is being used to secretly track users? I never would have guessed!

I've been enjoying grapheneos on pixel 7 pro and I do get the irony of the google phone being the best hardware to degoogle.

I put it on my 6a the day it arrived and have run nothing else. Irony that my wife has the same phone and mine is easily the more reliable....

Get rid of the "spy" device.

It's way worse than this, dumb ass.

All phones even when they shut themselves off due to "dead battery" have a tiny bit of charge left.

All phones have hard wired location ID that periodically self reports. It is hard wired and can not be turned off. It also takes only the tiniest bit of charge to work, that is it will keep reporting your location on a "dead battery" for months, years maybe.
