The article discusses the issues with Google's Pixel 4a battery update. The update has caused drastically reduced battery life for many users, with some experiencing only two hours of charge. Google has offered three options for affected users: a battery replacement, $50, or $100 in Google Store credit. However, the update has been criticized for its lack of transparency and the inconvenience it has caused. Additionally, the update was built on a personal machine, not the proper build system, and has led to confusion and frustration among users.

Yeah, i think its awesome and liberating to be more in control of my phone. I am rocking it for over a year now and haven't had any major issues yet (I had more issues with the stock software of my Xiaomi I had previously). Except for some nasty apps (like some banking apps) everything works flawlessly for me!
