You're right, and someone else might be a part of the lucky 10,000 today.
I got a Huawei Honor 8 from when Doctor Strange marketing was promoting it. I think it came with a comic book. I still have the phone that I keep around for kids. I even replaced the battery once and it is a very solid phone. Sadly, it doesn't get updates and without warning was not longer supported by Google Fi.
I'd get another Huawei device after it has been thoroughly vetted by people that are more capable and motivated than myself.
With Pee Wee Herman on the shirt, right?
Look for those "call before you dig" signs, then do the opposite.
How about throwing it into a faraday cage? Like the bags used for those transponders for tolls, or wrap it in foil... Or just mute the phone and ignore it.
Thank you Skeletor!
I learned that if you create your own subreddit, it bypasses the restriction.
