 . make the situation even weirder, why do americans need the defective battery box to ship the phone to google, while europeans don't? and why isn't a free battery replacement an option for us, when they are clearly capable of offering the service? because it's too expensive (81€)? but... the google store coupon is 100€... so we're now back again from "safety" to "planned obsolescence to push you into getting a new phone", neat.<br>
 well, at least one thing is clear: the situation is really messed up in both cases.
+/01/25 - Anonymous user reporting a rather important update
+Google seems to have quietly removed all previous pixel 4a software builds from their developer portal (initial source: https://www.reddit.com/r/Pixel4a/comments/1i7tmmb/cannot_locate_tq3a230805001s1_build_for_update/)<br>
+#1 https://files.catbox.moe/t5kvmh.png as you can see here, phones before and after the 4a have all sorts of builds of all versions of android, the 4a only has the latest a13 update, archive.org doesn't seem to work as the list is loaded dynamically via javascript or something so the available builds don't display there.<br>
+#2 https://files.catbox.moe/dnir9e.png only the latest a13 build is available for flashing in the official Google flashtool<br>
+maybe I should've quit with my conspiracies a while ago, but... let me wear the tinfoil hat one last time, why pull all the previous builds if it's just a stability thing and not a safety thing?
