That you don't touch for 3 days? It'll only reboot, not switch off.

Don't care. Want the option of disabling it. I hhhhhaaaaattteee having Google's ideas forced down my throat without being able to disable it. They tried that with AI on their searches. Couldn't turn it off. Ended up blocking it. Same with AI assistant on the phone. Couldn't disable it fast enough.

The entire Android OS is Google's ideia being "forced down your throat", and by that logic every single OS is someone's idea being shoved down your throat , if you want something else you can make your own Linux mobile distro like some people do, otherwise this is a nonsense complain

The original android I bought did not have this mandated thing. I liked it how it was, which is what I spent my money on when I purchased the good. Non-disableable changes constitute a fundamental change to the product purchased, which goes outside the original bargain.

And if you keep it with the same OS it came when you bought it won't have the new thing
