Samsung is advertising a malicious scam website in the Samsung Pay app.

The banner ad shows a bike, with the brand name Trek next to it, and $89. When you click it, it takes you to:

Google spamming users via the Play Store app
I recently got an unwanted ad notification, aka spam, from the Play Store app. It was about Google Play Points in combination with Pokemon Go, an app I never used. I had notifications for marketing purposes disabled in the app.
So, naturally I contacted the Google support and was more than surprised to actually get an answer. But it isn't a pleasant experience to deal with the support. First they tried to deflect it by claiming it might be another app displaying notification spam. And after ba...

Pixel 4a 5g is the best value phone for android of 2020
Everyone is talking about the Pixel 5 but why isn't anyone talking about this phone? $500 for a 765g, stereo speakers, headphone jack, 5g, slim bezels, good battery, and a dual flagship quality camera setup! I'd say it's a tie between this and the s20 fe!
For comparison, I'd say the Pixel 5 is a bad value for $700. I mean with the Pixel 4a 5g, you can pretty much throw the Oneplus Nord away as there's almost no reason to buy that phone anymore....
