Realme's Deceptive Game: The Bootloader U-turn

First, internal sources revealed that Realme is disabling bootloader unlock support worldwide, "except" for China users.
Then, they briefly allowed unlocking after this news spread.

In reality, they just allowed it for a while to "show" to the people that they "care" for them because servers have been killed once again.
Hence, the internal source claim turned out to be correct.

Realme's 2-month 'Security Upgrade' was just a fancy excuse to shut the door on bootloader unlock.
They LIED to all of their users.

From now, you CANNOT unlock bootloader on your Realme smartphones

If a company can't support unlocking bootloaders, it goes against what makes Android appealing - Its open-source nature.

Disabling bootloader unlocking is similar to making it like iOS.
I can't even imagine comparing Realme UI to iOS considering RUI is pure garbage

These Chinese brands just exercise cheap tactics and provides empty/FAKE assurances to the people

Honor confirmed its returning to Indian Market

In 2020, Honor withdrawn its operations from India, shortly after gaining independence from Huawei

Its similar to what HMD Global brand has done by acquiring Nokia Brand license but HMD Global designs their own phones & then adds Nokia branding

Honor Tech will directly import Honor smartphones from China

Honor's MagicOS will support full GMS (Google play services & apps) and will have NO Bloatware

Source

After launching its first 200MP camera sensor, Samsung will also launch a whopping 440MP camera sensor
Samsung is working on 4 new sensors:

50MP ISOCELL GN6:
It will feature a large 1.6μm pixel size (before pixel binning), an upgrade over ISOCELL GN2's 1.4µm pixel size and much bigger than the ISOCELL GN5's 1µm pixel size.

This could mean that, GN6 could be Samsung's first 1-inch type camera sensor to rival Sony's IMX 989 sensor

200MP ISOCELL HP7:
It features pixel size of 0.6µm which is the same used on Samsung S23 Ultra 200MP HP2 sensor.

It could be a minor upgrade over HP2 sensor that would be used in High-mid range smartphones

440MP ISOCELL HU1:
Pixel size is currently unknown, but it should be even bigger than the GN6 sensor.

We don't know if Samsung will use this 440MP sensor in smartphones or its only for cars

An unknown 320MP camera sensor is also in development that would be used in Galaxy S26 Ultra

On August 15, 2021, the Taliban defeated defeated the previous Government's military & took over Afghanistan, seizing power

Two years after taking over Afghanistan, the Taliban are considering an "advanced camera system" in "every province" of the country with Huawei pledging to work under the Taliban.

This raises significant human rights concerns, given their Taliban's treatment on women and other groups, and Huawei enabling this

For Example, cameras could be used to target women going to University to get education or beauty salons, as Taliban prohibits it

Authorities in neighboring country — Iran uses Bosch cameras to detain women who defy hijab laws.

China said that "it supports" Afghanistan in countering terrorism resolutely and forcefully

Security experts says that having Chinese-installed CCTVs in Afghanistan will help Beijing profile the Afghan people

BREAKING: Nvidia vBIOS Modding Is Back After Signature Lock Broken

Almost 10yrs ago, Nvidia introduced vBIOS signature checks, shutting the door on to vBIOS modding.
Nvidia added an on-die security processor on all its GPUs, codenamed "Falcon," which prevents the GPU from booting with unauthorized firmware

Now two members of TechPowerUp forum have independently introduced new software tools that let you flash almost any vBIOS onto almost any NVIDIA GeForce graphics card, bypassing "unbreakable" barriers of NVIDIA

TechPowerUp has "hand-inspected the binary code" of both of the new tools & verified that they "are free of any viruses or Trojans."
Using these tool, you can Raise clock speeds, Control Graphics card Voltages, Cooling Performance, Fan curve etc

OMGVflash Tool
This tool is for Turing architecture (RTX20, GTX16) cards or older
Also it allows users to "Basically flash what you desire" & also provides full "crossflash" ability
Such as:  [FE / VendorCert / XOC Cert / MasterCert etc], as long as EEPROM size can take it.

NVflashk
Its is a RE version of nvflash
Its a very powerful tool as it will "attempt to flash anything to anything."
Also, the RTX 4090's voltage could be pumped up from 1.07v to 1.1v as desired with this tool

Note: Tampering with the vBIOS will void your graphics card's warranty.
It is risky & made for especially made for power users
Remember to backup you BIOS before proceeding using GPU-Z
