Yea... Sure. You think Google doesn't have hardware level telemetry? Ok buddy.

I got beach front property to sell you in Kansas.

    For what. Thats a lot of effort for a small userbase. And most importantly a userbase that doesn't see Google ads. Custom hardware is expensive and doesn't provide much additional data for most users and provides unprofitable data for degoogled phones.

    Google doesnt spy on us just because they are evil. They spy on us to sell more expensive targeted ads.

    Yeah I think you just have to not let perfect be the enemy of good, as they say. I'm sure they still get something out of the mess of VPN'd sandboxed apps and addy.io burner email logins that make up my phone, but at least I can make things as difficult as possible for them.

    The user base of Pixel phones is small? What?

    Can the OS not monitor hardware level network usage on the device?

    I’m curious if nobody has checked for something like that… it doesn’t sound hard to catch.

    Huh… why’s this phone still calling homebase?

    Maybe if it only activated over the mobile network?
