## 🚨 SCAM ALERT! 🚨 Fake Play Integrity Fixes That Can Brick Your Phone!

Hey everyone, pay attention! Play integrity issues are common these days, but the solutions are usually easy. Unfortunately, some people are exploiting this with fake "fixes" that actually contain dangerous code designed to ruin your phone!

This is what happened to me:

Last night, a user with the ID 7402776516 messaged me about a "PIF fork module" that supposedly fixes play integrity issues. I was tired and didn't think twice, so I agreed to use it later.

(See Screenshot 1: The message I received.)

When I looked at the module's code this morning, I was horrified! It contained malicious code that could completely destroy my phone.

(See Screenshot 2: The dangerous code.)

Thankfully, I recognized the danger and didn't proceed. But many people wouldn't be so lucky.

Here's what you need to know:

• Never download modules from unknown sources or shady websites.
• Only trust official release channels or reputable developers.
• Be wary of unsolicited messages about "play integrity fixes," especially those from unfamiliar users.
• If you're unsure about anything, ask a tech-savvy friend for help.

Remember: Your phone is valuable. Don't let anyone trick you into ruining it!
✓ Reading this telegraph might help someone

Stay safe and share this information with your friends to help stop these scams!

Google continues revamping 'Do Not Disturb' for Android 16 with new 'Modes'

The Priority Modes feature that I spotted before is now just called Modes. Plus, Google updated its QS tile and made Modes icons appear throughout the UI.

More details on this upcoming Modes feature can be found in this article.

BREAKING: ARM Cancels Qualcomm's Chip Design License

ARM has given Qualcomm a mandated 60-day notice of the cancellation of a license that allows Qualcomm to design its own chips based on standards owned by Arm. If the cancellation takes effect, Qualcomm might have to STOP selling products that account for roughly $39 billion in revenue or pay for massive damages.

The current situation traces its roots to a legal dispute from 2022 when ARM filed a lawsuit against Qualcomm after it acquired Nuvia. Arm claims that Qualcomm failed to renegotiate the ALA terms post-acquisition & is demanding the destruction of Nuvia's designs that were created before the Nuvia acquisition. They can’t be transferred to Qualcomm without permission.

Qualcomm, however, argues that its existing Arm architecture license already covers Nuvia's work. That said, Qualcomm accuses Arm of anti-competitive misconduct. The trial is set to begin in December 2024 & both the companies are confident of their win.
