Also... IIRC the Evo had that sort of screen that could see 3D movies ? Stereoscopic LCD ?

So, something like what the HTC EVO 3D did in 2011? Or am i misunderstanding ?

Wasn't this available since ages via secundary microphones? I remember my old devices having then in the back/top for this purpose.

My OP7 is. My OG PixelXL runnging a custom rom isn't. Acording to google:

Devices that aren't Play Protect certified may not be secure.
Devices that aren't Play Protect certified may not get Android system updates, or app updates.
Google apps on devices that aren't Play Protect certified aren't licensed and may not be real Google apps.
Apps and features on devices that aren't Play Protect certified may not work correctly.
Data on devices that aren't Play Protect certified may not back up securely.

How is my certified device secure and protected, if a thirt party can install apps without Google's aproval?

Not the point, the fact that OEMs have been bundling unremovable apps unnecessary for the smartphone is a long discussed subject. I don't like it, i don't agree with it.

But installing a app made by XPTO, that can be updated by XPTO without us, the user, be able to permit, and circunventing the known paths of updates breaking the trust in the OS is entirely on a different level.

How can you be sure that the instagram app installed by facebook app manager is the same that's on the Play Store ?

While true, that's not the point. The facebook app pre-installed by AT&T would update through the playstore,. On this case, the instagram App is being updated from a third party app downloaded from a unknown server bypassing the Playprotect and common Playstore restrictions.

They could force you to download a instagram app that each time it's opened it would snap a selfie and upload it the a facebook server without you knowing it for example.

Question: isn't this explicitly forbinden by Google on a certified for Google device?

Around here, we're forbidden from even having them in our cars here, and the footage has no value in a courtroom...

Terminal Velocity was another one, if my memory doesn't fail me...

I believe this was one of the very first games that supported VR, although it was not so refined as with today solutions.

Makes sense. Considering the method, how dificult would it be to guess/find the seed?

A system was developed some time ago to generate a virtual card, tied to your debit/credit with a short(er) plafond and validity. Also, it is limited to one entity, the first one that actually used the card. It has worked perfectly so far, although certain companies start to get suspicious about the constant adding/removing of cards, like PayPal. Regarding this number changing method, how are the new number generated? How does the bank know that numbers are valid ?

Due tell me how many updates/security fixes/service packs for your favorite OS/Software have you installed?
