you need to get a different device. As others suggested a watch is your best bet but dont expect those options to respect your privacy any more or less than google.

getting bots to fake engagement for a profit is money laundering, believe it or not. its a pretty vague crime that basically amounts to getting paid in a way thats deceptive.

admits isnt the right word, they are exaggerating their capabilities for the sake of marketing themselves to other marketing people who have no idea how device permissions or internet packets work.

"We always knew it"... No you just didnt know about your own confirmation basis, you didnt notice all those times when you hadn't talked about whatever you never shop for and it was shown in ads anyway.

If a marketing company had the ability to spy on behalf of advertising whats stopping some random app or the local police dept from doing it? And you can bet if this was at all possible the cops would be all over it to monitor "criminals"

LLMs helped me with coding and debugging A LOT. I'd much rather use AI than have to try and parse stack exchange and a bunch of other web forums or developer documentation directly. AI is incredible when i get random errors and paste them in to say "fix this" and it does and tells me HOW and WHY it did what it did.

Is that supposed to be a whataboutism? You mean the same administration that launched a national database for police misconduct? That one? They're funding STATE cops? how? Or do you mean the feds beating up protesters like that time trump sent Homeland Security to abduct protesters off the street and detain them without charges, did The Biden admin do that too at some point because if they did I must have missed it. So what is your point exactly, that we should enable fascists because why fight it if bOtH SiDeS ArE thE SaME?

send more AND put you in jail for protesting that he's sending more

Unless you need online multiplayer it doesn't make much difference. I have my switch block Nintendo by DNS so its effectively me banning them instead of the other way around but if they did ban me I probably wouldn't notice.

I haven't needed to root a device in a while but its fairly straight forward.

The first step is to unlock your bootloader, do this by enabling developer menu (click on rom version in system settings 6 times fast) and then select to disable the booloader lock. if you cant do that then you probably cant root the device.

if you can get that far, the next step is to find a recovery for your device, youll want to boot it using fastboot and load the recovery image, that will allow you to flash SuperSU.

If you need more specific instructions Id need more info on where you get stuck (I'm just going of memory with this reply) but I know windows has some drivers that you need to install for adb to work and there might be other nuances I'm not remembering off hand

I'd also advise when searching for stuff like this, its better to avoid saying the device name unless you are limiting results to XDA or other well known android development sites.
