Wondering what people are thinking about this and why the internet is so quiet about it. I am not happy. Today it decided I couldn’t use the camera without giving it extensive permissions and agreeing to it. Not cool.

Totally forgot about this until now… (thanks) but I remember having to tape a tiny wire to the charging pad on one of my first android phones and then squeezing the (dead) battery pack in on top, because the cursed thing would not initiate charging unless it could read the eprom in the battery pack.
Google and some other authentication providers use to let you generate offline authentication codes. I’m not sure if this is still a thing, but it definitely saved my ass a few times.
I don’t have charging pad. I suspect the phone death was manufactured obsolescence. About 24 hours after google sent a message, the phone stopped charging. I think you mean backup codes. I used them.
They’re almost famous for it… although in the case of a phone, something most of us; hold while charging, sleep next to (or with), etc. an abundance of caution is probably warranted.
