As much as my recommendation is to purge any apps reliant on PIA from your life, I hope you'll remember to keep distance with any of his claims. Thanks.

(Context: yet another "final end of Play Integrity bypass")

TIL:
On Firebase Cloud Messaging (the most popular way of providing notifications to apps without keeping them up 24/7), the end-to-end encryption (the only one where notification content is invisible to Google) is optional and implementation-dependant. Telegram (and I presume most of the popular chat apps) seems to have done its homework, but literally nothing stops an app vendor handling your personal information to pass it carelessly in plaintext through Google servers.

For some example: https://source.android.com/docs/security/features/verifiedboot/boot-flow#locked-devices-with-custom-root-of-trust Your device will snitch by default that your AVB is yellow rather than green, if you're using Graphene with locked bootloader…
Update:
It doesn't look like it! I'm afraid that we're seeing something more nefarious – a check for custom ROMs specifically. I had no issue in orange state (even "riskier" than yellow, stands for unlocked bootloader) while on stock ROM. PIA was at basic integrity.

Realme 14 Pro+ is so overpriced in China that the price between 12/256 variant of Chinese and Indian units is equal (~30CNY of difference).
Moreover, it's so high that even in Europe, it wouldn't be considered exceptionally cheap for the spec. If somehow the whole world gets to pay the same price for this phone, this will be a really odd choice and a unique event.

Take this, Fairphone! This is what I call commitment to recycling!

Google is so scared of people flashing their Pixel 4a with builds that don't include their still unexplained battery blow-up prevention, that they removed downloads of every other build. They wouldn't do that even while Pixel 6 bootloader antirollback made flashing of Android 12 builds impossible.

Wish Meitu could come back from the death (being acquired by Xiaomi) and bring us the abomination comparable to fingerprint sensor in bottom notch. You know what I mean. That would be something...

For a reminder, this is how far they went (I love ugly phones!)
