Anyone know which Pixels, and if GrapheneOS would mitigate it?
[the fix] It's included in the Pixel Update Bulletin for September 2026 released on 2026-09-15 and will be included in the upcoming release of GrapheneOS.
So GrapheneOS is going use the security patch Google provides or will they implement a fix in parallel on their own?
I ask because my theory is that even if you use GrapheneOS, since it's android you are still going to be reliant on google code releases.
But I'm also hoping that's not the case,this will be a good test to see if security patches will be dependent on Google or not.
The answer to your question is literally in the third reply on that link.
Thanks for the heads up!
[Edit: Why the fuck is this app installing a Harry Potter Audible ad on my phone? Fuck you Google.]

Why the hell is this garbage being bundled woth my OS?

Ahh, so this will just give Google reason to remove any type of base and unlocking.
they don't need reasons anymore... they do whatever and don't get punished, as do all major corporations.
Would like to know if the most recent update lays ground work for the developer attestation program or if that is installed against my will regardless.
I've heard that's installed through Google Play Services so you get it even if your phone is no longer receiving timely security updates from the manufacturer. How considerate of them...
There's no such thing as privacy.
We shouldn't have lived our lives for these businesses and nations, we're slaves and we helped create it all.
We traded our privacy for free stuff.
We traded our human freedom for escapism and disconnection too.
I can't help by view the common citizen like hooker being fed drugs by a pimp so that the hooker will keep working for him. It's the same cycle and the same method...
