Also boo on Google for not being open and honest about this.

I'm sure the lawyers believe in minimizes...something?...by not going officially on the record that the reason is there's a heightened risk of fire. All corpospeak, the original was: "Pixel 4a will receive an automatic software update to Android 13 that introduces new battery management features to improve the stability of the battery. This update will reduce your battery’s runtime and charging performance.", and I presume this one isn't better.

Then again, that "forget about Nvidia" blog last week with the extremely poorly designed melting connector that they don't cop to is probably worse.
