#fakeOS? (see captions)
I bought this cheap non branded #i15 mini #phone online to use on my bike. It claimed to have Android 14. But in checking for updates I see that it's actually Android 8. Not a big deal for a cheap phone, but then... If in the About view it shows 14, this isn't a solid OS. It's been tampered? The icons were wrong too.
If I don't use bank and email apps on it, what's the worst that can happen? π³

CHP Barstow 7/28/24 5am
** MAJOR UPDATE / CLOSURE LIFTED
All lanes of northbound I-15 are now OPEN.
I-15 is now fully open and moving across all lanes in both directions of travel.
Crews have worked non-stop through the night to carefully move the hazardous materials container a safe distance away from the roadway. As you resume your travels, take all safety precautions and drive with care to your destination.
I love this:
"β οΈSafety Tips:
- Remember to prepare for travel, especially during the current elevated temperatures.
- Provide plenty of water and supplies in your vehicle.
- Plan your route accordingly and ensure you have enough supplies, fuel, and charge in your vehicle.
- Use caution with any electronic routing systems that may suggest alternate routes, especially those that include dirt roads. Often, these areas are unimproved trails and roads, which can lead to vehicles getting stuck, a significant problem experienced throughout the day yesterday."

It appears it did trigger heat emergencies (as I suspected last night) and also looks like it disabled many vehicles (overheating?)
San Bernardino County Fire: "The San Bernardino County Fire Logistics Division has brought supplies to the Clyde V Kane Rest Stop off the northbound 15, south of Afton Canyon Road. Water has been provided at this location for motorists who are stuck without water and experiencing other issues due to heat and vehicle mechanical problems."
9pm also there was an update on firefighting operations.
