On the other hand, my old S22U that I charged multiple times a day with a 9W wireless charger everyday since I got it, without any of these silly 80% limits, had 95% capacity after 2 years and 4 months, according to a 3 month average on AccuBattery.
I have used fast charging a lot as well, considering that phone would barely last half a day due to the SoC
These new security features do not (and can not) apply to apps distributed outside of the Play Store, so it won't compromise third party stores whatsoever.
Gamers massively overstate minor inconveniences. TAA smearing, upscaling artifacts, VA ghosting and blooming, ray tracing noise, all of that you get used to it on a day or two and never notice it again but leave it to the gamer to go on a crusade like their lives and the world are doomed because of it
Seems like the bug where random things become light mode, on Android 15. I think you can toggle off and on dark mode and it'll be fixed, or change your colour theme to something else and back.
Patents are about how you achieve a goal, not the goal itself. You can have multiple parents on "switching for character to vehicle on top down 2D environment" as long as the means to do so are not the same.
it quite literally takes 5 minutes with a WebUSB installer.
With a supported phone, on a Chromium browser on Windows. It takes much more than that usually, depending on device, to unlock the bootloader and install a custom ROM
In Brazil, the officer just uses their own phone to scan a validation QR on the ID app, at no point your phone leaves your hand and in a few seconds the officer has what they need. Shouldn't this be the case in the EU? AFAIK the officers only take your physical ID to check the number, so if you're using the app they shouldn't need to confirm that as the info is already validated
If you root, unlock your bootloader or run a custom ROM, nothing changes since your device does not pass the integrity checks and Google already had a feature for developers to block apps from running on those devices.
These new additions are also entirely irrelevant for apps distributed outside of the Play Store since Play Integrity requires the app being downloaded from the store.
Also, all of these additions are entirely up to the developers to add, Google is not forcing anything.
For apps installed through the play store, developers have the option to add these "layers of security" with Play Integrity.
The one the screenshot shows keeps you from opening and using an app if specific apps are detected to be running in the background (like a bank app blocking you from using it if a screen recorder app is running on the background). Another feature is apps blocking them from running if they weren't installed from the play store (like side loading a bank app and it prevents it from running because it might be malicious).
For apps distributed outside of the Play Store (and for people side loading them) and those running rooted/bootloader unlocked devices nothing changes, as Play Integrity is no longer in effect in those cases
In my experience, doesn't matter. You can use lutris/bottles or install on a windows pc and copy files to the Deck and it'll work, the distro is irrelevant in this case.
I stick with Steam OS because I don't see any real world benefits of changing to another distro
