To think I was worried about buying a Xiaomi tablet while already using a Motorola.
Gonna flash a rom on the Xiaomi anyway, but all oems are doing this type of stuff.

Note that Xiaomi today is very hostile to bootloader unlocking -- to get unlock code you need to win in daily first come, first served "lottery" (they limit total number of unlocked devices per day). After a second or two passes you're already too late for the day.
Thank you for letting me know, the plan right now is to try for about a week or 2 and then give up and return the tablet if I can't.
Which is a damn shame because not too many options exist with a headphone jack and a Snapdragon processor. I'm in an environment where Bluetooth is unreliable for a good chunk of my day.
The only other tablet that fits my needs is a gosh darn Surface which is like 1000$.
And the only way to win this lottery is by using an automated script that starts sending automated requests as soon as the new day starts at Beijing time.
No wonder there are numerous dubious sites doing it for you ... this breeds abuse.
All Android OEMs are "doing this type of stuff."
