Just like 16MP in a phone spec for many years meant a subpar sensor format, now the difference between a high-end and midrange camera setup is in whether 200MP+50MP combo refers to tele+main, or main+tele.

The largest telephoto sensors to this day are 200MP and the largest main camera sensors to this day remain mostly 50MP. You may see a LYT-901 main, but you'll be guaranteed to see it in combination with a 200MP tele through the foreseeable future because of its market placement.

Tldr: if the two sentences from the pic are correct, expect a HP5 main on OP16.

Exploit chain is here (look for it, it's everywhere), Lei Jun is mad. Buying Mi 17 series is thereby finally acceptable.

Sounds valid

Tldr: a really cringy way to describe a fix for an actual vulnerability the anti-cheat vendors were mad about.

In the FDE days, you could mostly nullify someone's encryption by telling them to enable accessibility services. Users who ended up in such a state often had zero clue about the reason they were no longer asked for their decryption password before seeing their lock screen.

List sorted and updated, enjoy

Hi Google, okay, I need your GMS to send files fast between offline devices, okay, got it. But why do they need to be visible to everyone nearby and can't just pair at home, contrary to the ancient Bluetooth capable of it, unless I obviously login into a Google acc? Hmm, I may know why.

New Google Play Certificate added!

Can't wait for other innovations inspired by Xiaomi's bootloader unlock policy, like:
1. One sideload per year
2. Having to click a button in the American midnight to participate in sideload permission lottery
3. Exam about history of Google and chemistry of your battery

So many options left on the table!

A solid contender came out on the dumbwatch market. It's just a Casio (W-221H-1AV), but rarely anything comes even close to the screen size of a smartwatch, with the body of a classic digital, so it's appreciated.

The perks of dumbwatches are immeasurable:
1. You don't worry much if you lose it
2. It never becomes obsolete
3. You don't charge it, you find it in your drawer after few years and it still runs
4. It's visible under extreme sunlight
5. It's lighter to your wrist than a smartwatch
6. It isn't a mirror of your phone, you can't procrastinate your time inside it

Tldr Qualcomm said you shouldn't buy laptops with their SoC.

I've been thinking about captioning this pic for a minute, and yet no amount of sarcasm would manage to hide what I think.

I need these questions answered on public record by a googler:
Will a developer who wants to publish solely on F-droid still have to provide personal details to Google?

Will Shizuku be broken?

Would a victim change the system clock to bypass the 24h wait?

Will backups of Google Play apps install successfully when developer didn't enroll into GP's automatic protection?

Will you provide any remedy like an option in setup wizard because a person setting up their device with sideloading in mind certainly knows what they're doing?

If ADB is allowed to instantly install any app, why wouldn't it be allowed to instantly change sideloading availability?
