Banging my head against the wall for over an hour, wondering why my Android app is reading binary garbage from a simple text file. Did I specify some weird encoding for the reader?? Did I make a mistake and read past the end of a buffer??

The “pinned_docs_files_do_not_edit” folder under Google Drive has files that are either obfuscated or encrypted or something. Makes sense I guess…
