Not seeing that option in my pixel 7 with the latest December update (which revamped the settings menu with a different order, placing Google at top instead of bottom)

Why smaller attack surface? Bigger attack surface. For an attacker is way easier to hack a single developer and publish a malicious APK on their GitHub (or alternative) rather than hosting malware on the official fdroid repository.

The first just requires a phishing email (trojanize a random Dev with poor opsec, get his apk signing key and his browser cookies) while the second is way more complex (get full access to fdroid build servers)

i don't think that there's no check at all. There's either a server side check or a digital signature to verify, or both. You can trick the train ticket check (here they don't even scan the qr code, they see the screen on the phone and continue) or the lazy airbnb landlord, but that can be done also today

it's more like searching messages for some keywords, then use the result to justify a full car search

and they accept that as a valid id? I mean in a store ok, but a public official? It's incredibly easy to make a fake screenshot

the digital version of id cards are glorified qr codes: they scan it and their device downloads from the government servers the official version. Or, for offline usage: the qr code contains all the data, signed with their key, they check if the signature is valid

it completely negates the usefulness of a site like that

why on their website they still link their (now abandoned) xitter account instead of the active bluesky account?

edit: their xitter account is dead, right? The latest post that it shows without log in is from 2022

it's a number that i pulled out of my ass but yes, it's about annualized failure rate. If the average battery breaks after 9 years, then it means there would be a lot of free replacements under the 8 year warranty. Like for hard drives they give 3 years warranty but it's normal to assume that it lasts 10-15 years and not break immediately after 3 years (exception: [western digital inserted a timebomb[(https://www.reddit.com/r/synology/comments/13uyk41/wd_red_pluspro_issue_drive_being_markd_as_warning/) to mark their drives as faulty via SMART as soon as the warranty is expired)

for the mitsubishi imiev most batteries are still working (different chemistry from modern ones) even if the last ones have been made in 2013

I'm not surprised at all.

Almost all automakers are offering a 8 years warranty on the battery. That means who made the battery (=the one that would ultimately pay the bill if it lasts less than 8 years) is expecting an average of 15 years or more

Can you say the same for a normal engine? After 8 years it will start to give lots of problems. Oil leaking, compression problems, dirty injectors, and so on

Aren't they "silently" migrating to a different but identical app called lemonade or something like that?

There are a lot of websites that pretend to give you a hacked version but all the download button does is to show more ads. They just automatically fill pages with automatically stolen content from play store

"for sale in Asia except Japan" => they wrote all the text in Japanese (and latin for the Lorem Ipsum on the back)
