They have already practically ended it. The official process makes the user jump through so many hoops - registering account, using it for 30 days (!!!), installing their app, begging for unlock through it, getting random errors which the official support refuses to explain (!!!) and only after that having the chance to try to hit the daily unlock request window which lasts less than one minute each day (!!!) - that it is practically non existent. Fuck the fucking fuckers.

Holy shit, are you serious? Can you elaborate on how does that work? You get an email saying you can do that between 3:27:15 PM and 3:27:50 PM or something?

[–] daddy32@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

No, it's the same minute every day, for everyone in the world. 0:00 GMT+8

[–] QuizzaciousOtter@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

Oh, ok. Still crazy though.

GMT is subject to DST. You sure it isn’t UTC?

[–] HeneryHawk@reddthat.com 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't think the GMT time zone ever changes. Some countries going in and out of GMT but the GMT hour never changes forwards or backwards

We do, twice a year and it annoys me no end since I work some shitty continental hours and sometimes have to watch the clock go backwards through the night.

Well this is how the app states it. It resolves to this: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=0%3A00+GMT%2B8

Unfortunately not easy in my country - only for repeated warranty claims.
