Random stuff I consider worthy of sharing. Mostly tech.

We certainly need PairIP and Play Integrity on our desktops! We could finally replace all of the insecure websites with them! We love GMS and being logged in! Congrats John Wu! Buy Googlebooks to make it real! Yeah, it's totally normal to ask your current OS for permission to install another on PC!

https://kitsumed.github.io/blog/posts/android-may-soon-restrict-on-device-adb/ Oops, looks like wireless ADB is somehow too convenient to access and your granny will use it to bypass the 24h cooldown and install malware 🀯
As I don't think I'd write it better than a model, it looks like for the sake of preventing your granny from advancing her device clock to get scammed, your offline device must be powered on for the whole 24h Google forces you to wait, otherwise internet access is mandatory.

If non-standalone (NSA) 5G isn't something you care about, here's the first compact 8eg5 device getting official LOS: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/fairlady
Just in case the COS17 builds happen to be unfriendly to deeptesting enrollment (I don't know that), a downgrade package to 16.0.9.400 is available at https://downgradefs.coloros.com/downgrade/26/07/27/af2624b130b649248abb710023ed1eb8.zip
Mirror: https://files.itsvixano.me/firmwares/oneplus/af2624b130b649248abb710023ed1eb8.zip

Deeptesting perm obtained on COS16 remains available after update to 17.0.0.107, while OEM unlock toggle visibility and state is preserved in that case. What I need to add is that executing a bootloader lock supposedly results in losing the deeptesting token from oplusreserve1, so you may want to back it up.

Things that happen only with Chinese dedication to tech:
A simulator of the vision angle cost inflicted by privacy display upon Mi 18 Pro Max, supposedly based on measured data. Not gonna lie, it does feel like an LCD. The only solution would be a pixel density that allows narrow angle pixels to be fully turned off without consequences.

Tldr of the whole ordeal if you didn't look it up yet: modified Ledger hardware wallets were silently put on the market, but instead of getting their secrets out to spoof the real thing (very difficult or super mega ultra impossible if you're a TPM cultist), the real thing got a physical implant reading the Ledger's screen contents while the seed phrase is displayed, then uploading it.

Unrelated: EU wants (I don't even have to look up how much set in stone it is, material disrespect of existing right to repair laws doesn't inspire confidence, hence wants) users to have an option to disable auto updates and to be able to install security updates decoupled from functionality.

Sony Mobile, for your own good, retract this before you're completely wiped off the market

It's for your own good, Meta should totally have hidden API whitelist on your phone, the world would be much worse otherwise xD

A widely enrolled CA got their private key leaked, present on Android since 11.
Implications: update your browsers and operating systems if you'll be in a risky network, otherwise check whether you own any locked down hardware or software that may not use cert pinning in areas that matter, to make it yours.

Fun fact: not once anything written in text on this channel was formulated by an LLM, although I sometimes fear sounding like one. Back when this channel started, I could completely skip the "implications" part for the initial audience, but I'm not mad about it. I'll never try to over explain, as that by itself takes too much time, while lessening the value for people who primarily need concise information. Been there, done that.

Xiaomi released a Poco literally using Mi 17 parts and barely anyone noticed. The dimensions match 1:1, design is extremely similar, the panel makes perfect sense to be exactly the same component. Honestly WTF.

Yes, the SoC is a qcom midrange, the cameras are very basic, but it's a rare sight regardless. Extra tidbit: both of these phones either have a 6.35" panel or the official ppi spec on Mi 17 is incorrect. It's very unlikely that X8s would receive smaller bezels in same body. It's also likely an LTPO they're not advertising as one as it'd sound too good for the series.
