The new check mark system has resulted in Threat Actors successfully impersonating Twitter and defrauding users out of money

Although the account is now suspended, it rapidly got 35,000+ retweets and 4,990 likes.

A simple $8 investment can result in thousands of dollars stolen.

Enjoy what comes next:
Threat actors sign whatever they want and are understandably uninterested in helping you to install custom high level software and firmware on normally non-unlockable device, they instead want you on unpatched stock ROM.

OEMs are uninterested in releasing absolutely needed patches to EOL devices that are still in use, while being also uninterested in releasing tools and/or suitable update that would let you unlock their bootloader.

The way things are, both the threat actors and OEMs remain happy, as exclusivity of leaked keys ensures that there won't be as many rogue-signed apps as there could be otherwise, in result putting a smaller pressure on OEMs to act and to change their security support policies, while threat actors will certainly be glad that more devices remain unpatched.

Best part? The same is applicable to every private exploit possible. The only difference is that a private exploit can be reverse engineered if the exploit binary didn't get purged from device in time. The rest stays the same: threat actors don't want to get any competitors, public awareness of the vulnerability and especially they don't want to see widely available security patches.

Looks like devices with support for SCALER_STREAM_CONFIGURATION_MAP_MAXIMUM_RESOLUTION are finally starting to pop up. The device in the screenshot is Axon 40 Ultra.

Durov says that the highly non-contextual, often foreign language, cheap looking ads you rarely see made more money than 1+ million premium subscribers. I have doubts.

The leaks were right. This is a real phone.

And despite the ridiculously (and unnecessarily) huge camera island, they regressed

Could be worse, but...

Also there on Vivo X90 Pro+. The frame duration visible here correctly translates to 15 fps, as the only high-res sensor mode at 30 fps they implemented is direct 8k which they didn't expose, at least as a raw stream.
A big part of why these tables finally start being populated is because Qualcomm already implemented them in camera HAL for the recent SoCs. It's likely that their reference designs offer high res streams out of the box now with 0 code changes.

Android 13 flashlight brightness adjustment app for Pixel 6, 6 Pro and 6a. (and Galaxy S22 on One UI 5 beta)

Features:
• You can add a "Brightness control" tile to the quick settings for easy access;
• Support for dynamic colors and themed icon;
• Support for predictive back gesture;

• Demo;

You can't install this app on earlier Android versions.

Thanks to @polodarb for the build.

As media directly copied the imprecise claims of my friend on what staggered HDR actually is, let me correct it:
Typical sensor capture process works in a way that as long as your exposures are short, the integration (exposure start) of next frame won't happen any sooner than than the cycle of next frame, which basically starts when each of the sensor lines start integration, top to bottom. So for a sensor in 30 fps mode, it won't matter if your exposure time is 1/800s or 1/40s, you won't be able to capture more frames just because their exposure time is short.
Staggered HDR changes that. A sensor in such mode is able to have more than one ongoing integration start at a time, as long as a given line already stopped integration for the previous frame. This is better than bracketing typically is, as it lets the frames represent a narrower range of time. But it's really not a perfect timing match, the frames won't represent the same exact moment in time. To achieve that, you still need to rely on either dual...

/triple conversion gain merge or gain-based QHDR (or Nona, Hexa etc. equivalent of it). It's a good moment to remind of the Samsung presentation I linked here: https://news.1rj.ru/str/TadiBlog/111

A graph I made representing the non-staggered (typical) operation of a sensor. It's a bit idealized, as it skips the blanking time and other margins.
