UltraM8's #gcXtension [a12+]

Experimental module to see if it's possible to make use of pixel hardware buffer lib for zero-copy RAW->GPU buffer handling for EGL shader used by merge method, portrait mode processing or HDRnet.

Starting in 2019 I embarked on an endless journey of camera modding. Not without it's downsides, of course. However it was always fun to dig in things. Closing this year, it's time to add another chapter to the journey. Last, but hopefully not least build of UltraCVM began more than a year ago, right where 8.1.1 ended somewhere in november 2021. 2022 definitely was one of the hardest years I can personally recall. Nonetheless, little by little throughout the year everything that I been studying with prior experiments over gcam puzzled together in a build that I personally can call favourite. And however there are still things left to work out, feeling tired from constant work on it - I decided it's finally time to share the work. It's also time to have some rest with holidays ahead.

🎉 First of all, I want to wish y'all Merry Christmas & Happy New Year. I'm hoping 2023 will be a better a year for everyone! 🎉

Now to the presents - UltraCVM v8.4.300 is finally here! 🎁

SafetyNet attestation in Telegram for Android

Beta version of Telegram for Android has begun performing a SafetyNet check before sending out the SMS authorization code. This was discovered by developers of the unofficial Nekogram modification.

Telegram Info found out custom ROM users don't need to worry.

SafetyNet API, developed by Google, is a tool that app developers can use to detect unofficial modifications within the app and on the system, such as mods, root access, and custom ROMs. This technology is used to protect against piracy and improve security by blocking the app or certain features on devices deemed unreliable by the developer.

Some users have expressed concern that Telegram's implementation of SafetyNet may indicate that the app will no longer allow SMS codes to be received from devices with unofficial ROMs or that the app will cease to function on these devices altogether.

However, a deeper analysis of the app's code reveals that Telegram is using SafetyNet to test a new method of delivering SMS authorization codes via Google's Firebase service, which requires the device attestation. The old method of sending codes will still be used in other cases, leading to the conclusion that Telegram does not intend to impose any sanctions on users of unofficial apps or mods.

The use of Firebase may be related to the high cost of sending SMS messages and calls for authentication. The delivery of codes accounts for a quarter of the messenger's expenses.

#Android

Whether AI is really going to be next big thing, or its yet another dotcom-ish buzz that's going to drown just like that "meta" bullshit, it's still quite impressive Microsoft was able to catch Google pants down with such fairly small investment.
