It had been in the works for a while, but now it has formally been adopted. From the article:

The regulation provides that by 2027 portable batteries incorporated into appliances should be removable and replaceable by the end-user, leaving sufficient time for operators to adapt the design of their products to this requirement.

        It does until it doesn’t. Joy to one morning discover I can’t pay for my bus ticket, while I’m already on the bus.

                Yes because Google totally can’t change Safetynet on their end… which is what happened last time I ran a custom ROM, in November 2021.

                  Yeah no for sure you updated something. Google can’t remotely install stuff unless you let them.

                  These days is working fine

                    You do realize Safetynet is Google’s service, running on their servers, right? If they change how it works in the background, it will break on your phone.

          I’ve been running rooted Android phones for more than 10 years now and have been using Google pay for about 4 of those years. Never had that happen. That seems very much like something you screwed up.

            You are free to think so, but it’s hard to screw up something that worked for months and without any configuration changes breaks itself
