I Turned ON All Ubuntu Telemetry.

on
I  did something today that will make certain corners of the internet audibly gasp. I didn’t disable telemetry. I didn’t firewall it. I didn’t put on a tinfoil hat and boot into a Faraday cage. No. I installed every Ubuntu data-donation tool and opted in manually like a lunatic with intent. Yes. Telemetry. On. All of it. Step 1: Installing the “evil” telemetry tool First, I installed Ubuntu’s main data-donation package: sudo apt update sudo apt install ubuntu-report Then I looked at the data it collects: ubuntu-report And what did I see? CPU model GPU model RAM size Screen resolution Oh no. My computer… exists .

Flash stock / Unbrick Pixel Devices with Android Flashtool

on
Android Flash Tool in my opinion, is the easiest and safest way to flash your Pixel device. If you're upgrading, or unbricking it'll almost always save the phone. I recommend using  Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome 


The device will need USB debugging enabled in developer options and OEM unlocking toggled on


Plug the phone into a PC with a USB to type C cable.




If flashtool displays the following just run adb kill-server in terminal in the platform tools folder




Tap on add device and confirm the connection in the prompt 



Tap on back to public




Make sure to use the up-to-date builds as google explains here
