It's a Google update. Lineage doesn't do Google updates.
The whole point is that it's not safe to run it without the update, so that's actually a minus.
never had a lithium battery explode due to old age. So, that's a myth.
And I've never died from Covid so that also must be a lie.
Mate has never seen a spicy pillow in his life. And above all, it's not just age, it's defective batteries.
I have infact seen spicy pillows in my life and replaced the battery. And above all, if the battery is defective then the company has to bear the cost of replacement or explain why they sold products that can explode.
instead you seem to indicate it's perfectly normal for the company to reduce battery life as if its their god given right to rip off customers like that.
But they did offer refunds?
Maybe only in the US? Here in Sweden I've recieved no such offer.
Oh, it's one of those battery overheating issues. Again, seriously?
Yes, batteries get old
