Fuck you Mobike!! Stop polling your applog.mobike.com server literally every 10 fucking seconds when your app is not even running! And why the fuck did it suddenly start last night, of all things? It's fucking creepy and invasive.

Related question: does anyone know how to permanently shut down a background app service on an unrooted android 7? Even if I kill the background process (not the app itself - that one has not even been opened), it still restarts a minute later

Dev: We should use some kind of push thingy.
Manager: Too expensive and my diaper is full. Just poll it, no one will notice.

@irene well, I would at least like to get my money's worth out of that. Besides, I got a pi-hole blocking all those requests anyway, so I'm not too concerned about it. But it really pisses me off, and I'm definitely gonna uninstall the app and cancel the service when I'm done
