This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Honestly. It's terrible, but i might actually have to give Apple money for my next phone.
I'm just done with Android at this point.
We had a good run, but it's over.
Apple is horrible aswell, not just their practices but their interfaces.
So now Chinese who managed to bypass the firewall cannot access western sites behind Google's new Captcha-wall?
Wow, great job, Google. 🙄
(I mean unless they managed to import a Googled-phone into China too)
Not trying to be an ass here, but why the fuck would Google care about Chinese ILLEGALLY accessing the world internet. They shouldn't even be on it in the first place according to big daddy pooh. China is a utopia according the the CCP, they don't need to access the evil Internet.
I have absolutely zero data to back my thought up here. But Google probably cares about illegal Chinese access because it would piss off the Chinese government. Google would love to get into China, it's a huge market.
Whatever this is for, guess I'm not going to use it anymore.
So wait a moment. How can the browser even check if play services are installed? And scanning a QR code is just accessing the camera, what does that have to do with Play Services?
LOL, just as I started using an /e/os phone
Gonna have to switch to Tor browsing completely then.
How likely is this to affect Linux phones?
If I understand it correctly it would be something that certain websites chose to add.
If a website add this new captcha you wont be able to access the website without a verified android (and I suppose apple too) device.
The device with google play would be use as a way to verify, no matter the device used to browse that website.
