A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Got the same stuff some minutes ago. After some checking, there's a Twitter thread about the subject, including Motorola going out of its way to avoid answering what's up.
It doesn't look malicious though, more like plain stupidity.
EDIT: !programmer_humor@programming.dev is saying that this is a notification test, and that someone didn't catch the intern doing this yet.
I didn't see anything, but I did uninstall/disable some motorola default packages.
You probably uninstalled the device help application, it's the one sending this.
And my mum just got the notification. Sent me a desperate message, thinking that some Ricardo (fairly common name here) hacked her phone. ¬¬
My family has the name Ricardo, so I would have been especially interested about the notification had I got it!
