- xuhdev 3y agoYeah, this is how Google cares about sustainability: https://sustainability.google/ https://sustainability.google/ The culprit is really that Google wants the device to be only usable with connections to Google. However, being unable to update risks security and Google. I agree this is unnecessary and probably entirely about profit. (how hard is it to allow creating local non-Google account?) Faced with profit, all the public relation persona must give way.
