I was on board with the first guy, but this is going too far. We should compromise between the 2- and 4-spaces camp, and we settle on 3 spaces.

The prophecy predicts there will be exactly four major cyber incidents this week.

The prospects for China are not looking particularly good. Decades of a one-child policy seems to have helped normalize one child per couple.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_total_fertility_rate

China has a fertility rate of 1.02 children per woman.
For comparison, in the US that rate is 1.62 children per woman and in Germany 1.46.

A “healthy” fertility rate, where the population remains more or less stable (not accounting for immigration), is roughly at 2.1 children per woman.

The West is going to have issues with their low birthrates, but the looming Chinese demographics crisis is looking to be much worse than what the West is going to be dealing with.

It could maybe be convenient to transmit files to your own devices without having to fumble around with wires, bluetooth, or the cloud?

Any specific reason why they should be phones older than 2020?

Emoji aren’t strictly prescriptive with their meaning. They are generic symbols that can have many meanings in different contexts and cultures.

The name of an emoji is more a suggestion than anything else.

That is not what the eligibility tool for the battery program is telling me.
And Google Support told me the same thing when I asked for clarification about how the eligibility is determined.

Edit: The email says Pixel 7a, but that is a mistake on their part. I have a Pixel 6a.

Not OP but it would appear that any phone that is out of warranty will be denied a repair or refund.

I’ve been emailing back and forth with Google support about this issue for the past two weeks, and thusfar the only information I’ve gotten is that the reason my phone is denied a repair or refund is because the warranty expired in 2024.

I don’t even have information on whether my phone contains a defective battery in the first place. Since the refund eligibility tool doesn’t say that, and I haven’t received an answer to that question yet from support.

Given that the Pixel 4a came out in 2020 and the Pixel 6a in 2022, with warranties generally lasting 2 years, most phones will be out of warranty.

Edit: This is the most recent response I’ve received from Google Support.
The reason why the terms “eligible” and “impacted” are used like this is because I was trying to figure out the reason for the inconsistencies between the terms on their support page

I am very disappointed with the way Google appears to be handling the issue. They ship their phones with defective batteries, and are now not really doing anything to properly communicate the problem and fix the issue.
Instead we get a mandatory update and no real information

That seems like something that could pretty easily be added to the label down the line.
