What a misleading, fake title. Honestly disappointing coming form HackerNews... The post quite literally says it's an experiment, accidentally enabled. A bug. L

  > What a misleading, fake title. The title is accurate. The Google account linked to says just as much. > The post quite literally says it's an experiment, accidentally enabled. A bug. And this can be accurate too, without being in conflict with any claim in the title. > Literally an A/B test, which they do all the time. On accounts enrolled into beta programs. Not on regular accounts. This one happened to phones with only regular accounts. > The title makes it sound like they hacked in your phone. The title makes it sound — at best — as if it was unexpected. Which it was. The title does not make it sound like they "hacked in your phone". Perhaps you're reading some outrage in the title that isn't there.

  Nobody here is talking about intent. They're just talking about Google's ability to do it. Who cares if they "didn't mean it".

  You're projecting and reading something that isn't there. How is the title "fake" and "misleading"? The title is: "Google remotely activated battery saving more on multiple people's phone today", which they did (saw it on my own 2XL). That's it. That's a fact. There's no mentions of Google hacking anybody's phone.

  Judging by your comment history, I would say that you might want to disclose who your employer is...
