Random stuff I consider worthy of sharing. Mostly tech.

Does Vivo (and not just them) really think that people are buying compact devices in 2026 because they're cheaper and not because of size? X300 FE is missing both stacked and full res raws in its stock camera. Can X300 and X300 FE buyers really be convinced "I should buy an Ultra next time" because of few unadvertised differences?

Can't be arsed describing the lore, but Google designed an API for Android 13 vendors that's basically meant for torch power control outside of camera apps. Two versions later, they realized that something designed as a part of camera API should rather have something to do with it.

In short, OPlus adapted it, Xiaomi and Vivo did not.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.accessibility.magnifier would be the only camera app taking advantage of this API that I'm aware of if you want to try it out.

Why did I look into this? For the sake of Aperture PoC that utilizes manual focus that works seamlessly through logical cameras and an intuitive flashlight power slider. The first is more straightforward to add because of the above.

Here's your notification LED, on the back, likely unable to function as one on stock, but certainly pulsating in a cool way to the voice of Gemini.

LLM as a translator sounds cool, until white knights come in.

ColorOS System Apps Updates
OnePlus unlocking policy in the China market has been updated. https://bbs.oneplus.com/thread/2175833961601695750
OPlus is killing OP's global market presence with so much dedication that they're going out of their way to presumably prevent even the import of Chinese units. They want it gone off the global market, you must all buy Oppo now in their mind.

To run an untouched (just kidding, the toggle in question and GP signing cause your app to be far from "untouched") original app enrolled into this unnecessary restriction, use: pm disable com.your.app/com.pairip.licensecheck.LicenseContentProvider
Update:
pm disable com.your.app/com.pairip.licensecheck.LicenseActivity

This shouldn't need to be repeated, but:
PairIP doesn't protect your app against modification and redistribution. The extent of needed binary modifications can't be high if a single command beats it. It only serves as Google's sneaky anti-competitive measure that aims to force users to always be logged into a Google account to use your app, even after installing an untouched, legitimate version through Aurora Store or APKmirror or from a backup they've made themselves.

PS: in dev console it's called "automatic protection".

FYI: it looks like you'll still need to have PlayStore/FakeStore (com.android.vending) installed after disabling the activity, otherwise the PairIP-infected (yes, it's quite a valid word, considering most developers don't know the full implications, while being enrolled by default for all new apps) apps will crash in ~2 seconds.
