This smartphone mode could save you from drunk-texting your ex
A little-known Chinese brand has patented a drunk mode for its smartphones.
This would block certain apps and restrict specific functions.
The mode would require sobriety verification to disable it.
Using a smartphone while drunk isn’t necessarily the wisest decision, as it could result in you contacting an ex, posting an embarrassing video, and more.
We’ve seen some developers try to combat this situation with apps that prevent drunk texting and other intoxicated escapades, but it looks like a little-known Chinese manufacturer is working on a drunk mode for its smartphones.
The company says users can still transfer or download this data before then.
Google shuttered its long-running Play Music service late last year, calling on users to hop to YouTube Music instead. Since then, the company has been allowing people to download their Play Music library and data or transfer it to YouTube Music.
You might want to act fast if you haven’t gotten around to downloading or transferring your data though. Google sent an email to Google Play Music account-holders this week, warning users that their data will be deleted on February 24, 2021.
“This includes your music library, with any uploads, purchases and anything you’ve added from Google Play Music. After this date, there will be no way to recover it,” reads an excerpt of the email. Check out the screenshot below.
