This Windows Registry Hack Can Extend uBlock Origin Support

uBlock Origin will NOT work on Chrome or Edge as Google fully migrates to Manifest v3 soon. Although, uBlock Origin Lite works on manifest v3, however, it is NOT as effective in blocking ads like uBlock Origin. Now, a reddit user has discovered a hack to continue using uBlock Origin unless it patches out.

STEPS:
1. Open the “Registry Editor”.
2. Go to: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome
3. On the right side of the screen in a BLANK SPOT, RIGHT CLICK -> New/DWORD (32-Bit Value).

4. Name it ExtensionManifestV2Availability & press enter.
5. Right-click it, select "Modify," set the value to 2 (Hexadecimal), and click OK.
6.Open Chrome, go to chrome://policy in the URL bar & check if ExtensionManifestV2Availability is set to 2. If not, click "Reload Policies.

SIMPLER WAY:
Open CMD as admin and type:

reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome" /f /v ExtensionManifestV2Availability /t REG_DWORD /d 2

OnePlus Silently Changes its Green Lines Issues Policy

OnePlus recently announced vouchers for affected green lines users of OnePlus 8 and 9 series users. For example users can grab a OnePlus 11R for just 50$ by exchanging a OnePlus 9R affected with green lines

Recently, Samsung also announced display replacement for FREE for green lines issues on Galaxy S20 and S21 series (including Note and FE models) but on a condition that the device should NOT be more than 3yrs old from the date of purchase. Unlike Samsung which already clarified to users about the device age, OnePlus did it quietly. OnePlus is now denying users of vouchers if their device is more than 3yrs old

Many users with their 9R affected with green lines was denied a voucher for 11R just because their device was more than 3 years old even if its just 10 days. So the only option is now screen replacement with around Rs. 500 (~6$) labor charge fee

OnePlus Becomes The World's Fastest Brand To Ship Green Lines

After hitting the market, it seems the newly released & the latest smartphone i.e OnePlus Nord 4 decided to debut its own special feature: Green Lines.

A user purchased the OnePlus Nord 4 smartphone in India (8GB RAM with 256GB storage config) and within just 12 hours, green lines introduced themselves. Acc. to the user, he bought the phone last night, and the screen went green after "just one hour" of usage. Updated the software, and voilà – Green Line Achievement Unlocked!

Nord 4 uses Tianma U8+ panel & OnePlus bragged about 69,420mm² large vapor chamber for heat dissipation & it still it got green lines under 24hrs. OnePlus advertised that Nord 4 comes with 6yrs of System Fluency certification from TUV Rheinland but it seems that software updates are introducing green lines along with smoothness.

The user is requesting OnePlus to replace and give him a new Nord 4 instead of repairing it since not even 12hrs old.

Xiaomi Service Centers: Turn Your Smartphone in for Repairs, Receive a Pocket-Sized Time Bomb Instead

People usually trust service centers to fix their smartphones, but Xiaomi seems to have a unique approach. Instead of just repairing devices, it seems that Xiaomi is determined to destroy your phone.

A user deposited his Mi 11 Lite 5G codenamed 'renoir' to Xiaomi's official service center in India. His device was out-of-warranty. The problem described by the customer in the jobsheet/service record says that, when the smartphone was turned ON, it enters the fastboot mode or the bootloader automatically. Also, it drains battery & the volume key was not working either

Xiaomi replaced the battery in the customer's smartphone & charged him Rs. 1472 (~18$). But just after 2 days, the customer's Mi 11 Lite smartphone exploded/blasted, indicating Xiaomi put a FAKE battery inside.

There are even cases where customers reported that Xiaomi has put FAKE displays on their smartphones

Scores also have an accuracy measurement to them to see how accurately the models can accomplish tasks & there’s a comparison to relative efficiency over time. Each workload is tested for at least five iterations to ensure devices reach their peak during testing.

X's new AI image generator will make anything

xAI’s Grok chatbot now lets X Premium subscribers create images from text prompts, leading to content like Barack Obama doing cocaine, Donald Trump with a pregnant woman resembling Kamala, etc. However, Grok refused to generate a single request: an image of a naked woman.

Grok will tell you it has guardrails if you ask, which probably aren't real rules, as responses vary when asked multiple times, with different policies each time.

Unlike OpenAI, which restricts prompts for real people and harmful content, Grok’s approach aligns with Musk’s disregard for standard AI safety norms amid ongoing investigation from the European Commission.

Google Security Team Researchers Discovered Nearly A Dozen Critical Vulnerabilities in Qualcomm Adreno GPU

At the Defcon security conference in Las Vegas, 3 Google researchers presented more than 9 critical vulnerabilities that they discovered in Qualcomm's Adreno GPU.

“We are a small team compared to the big Android ecosystem—the scope is too big for us to cover everything, so we have to figure out what will have the most impact,” says Xuan Xing, manager of Google's Android Red Team. “So why did we focus on a GPU driver for this case? It's because there’s no permission required for untrusted apps to access GPU drivers.” Android phones can talk to the Adreno GPU driver directly with “NO sandboxing, NO additional permission checks,”

“Regarding the GPU issues disclosed by Android Security Red Team, patches were made available to OEMs in May 2024,” a Qualcomm Spokesperson told WIRED , and encouraged end users to obtain and apply these patches from device manufacturers.

Motorola Stopped Supporting Bootloader Unlock for Older Smartphones

Motorola is stopping bootloader unlocking for their older smartphones. Users of old Moto smartphones like Motorola G5 codenamed 'Cedric' or the Moto 1st Gen, when tried to the unlock bootloader, they are getting noted that "Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking"

Upon contacting Motorola, the support responded that "the unlock key is no longer available due to its age" and thus the bootloader cannot be unlocked anymore. Its' such a shame to stop supporting bootloader unlocking of older phone since custom ROMs are still keeping older Moto upto-date.

Moto Z2 Force was launched in August, 2017 and still Motorola denied bootloader unlocking arguing that the unlock key is no-longer available. Meanwhile, LineageOS 21 based on Android 14 is still officially supported for Moto Z2 Force and it still gets updated with LOS nightly builds

OnePlus 12R Smartphone Melted

A user on XDA (unlikely from India) reported that his OnePlus 12R (16GB RAM variant) started smoking while it was in his pocket and then suddenly exploded after he threw it on the ground just in time.

The users says,
"About two weeks ago, my 3-month-old OnePlus 12R 16GB started smoking in my pants pocket and literally melted when I took it out. It was operational just seconds before and showed NO signs of any issues. I had not improperly charged it or exposed it to overheating or anything similar. Suddenly, the screen started melting before my eyes, which took a moment for me to realize. I threw it into the garden, and shortly after, it looked like this.I reported the issue as quickly as possible, and customer support responded promptly. They asked me to fill out a poorly formatted form to describe the incident and send in the device. Now, I'm waiting for further information from OnePlus."
