"needs root and patches to AOSP". So there go the banking apps mentioned elsewhere and you can just use postmarketOS.

Still cool though!

I have a rooted phone and when you hide root (using Magisk app) all banking apps work just fine?

Some, not all. Last time I checked magisk wasn't able to fake safetynet hardwareattestation

Yup. I gave up on trying to get Google wallet / Android pay to work on my lineage device. I got it working sometimes but it broke after update and just wasn't reliable enough to keep trying when paying for stuff. I'm not really sure whom they're protecting with this stuff -- the credit card processing companies, maybe?

(small nit: does "whom" even go there?)

They're protecting the TEE because they do not want third parties to be able to automate Google Pay through modified software. This isn't necessarily just about normal end users but more like smartphone farms.

>They're protecting the TEE

Why do Transesophageal Echocardiograms[0] need protecting, and from whom do such diagnostics require protection?

I expect I'm missing something, but a web search for 'TEE' only returns that diagnostic test.[1]

I think, probably unintentionally, you've misjudged or ignored the tone your message is likely to be read as having.

To me, your comment comes across as having a rude and insulting tone.

I think the person you were replying to read it in a similar tone to me based on their response. ("No need to be patronizing.")

Is that the tone you intended?

A better way of handling it may have been with a simple, "What does TEE mean in this context please? Googling it didn't help me."

I'm asking the question rather than assuming it was intentional, as you put more effort into your comment than is necessary to just be rude.

It feels like you may have been trying to be helpful and just misjudged the tone. Maybe as a fellow neurodivergent person.

Your assumptions were mostly incorrect.

That said, thank you for your thoughts on this. I'm glad you shared them. Good on you.

That said, I don't need you (or anyone else, for that matter) to tell me how I should or shouldn't interact with others -- as that's incredibly condescending (and incredibly rude as well) and makes a number of unwarranted (as I mentioned) assumptions.

Again, thanks for your thoughts. I'll give them the attention they deserve.

Edit: Fixed prose.

I'm pretty sure you told the GP how they should or should not interact with others by telling them not to use acronyms. I'm don't understand how that's any different.

>'m pretty sure you told the GP how they should or should not interact with others by telling them not to use acronyms. I'm don't understand how that's any different.

Except I did nothing of the sort. I took the information given and attempted to interpolate (unsuccessfully, I might add) what OP was talking about.

While I did make the point that OP should have realized that others don't know what they're talking about if they don't tell us, I most certainly didn't say they shouldn't use acronyms.

Rather, I chastised them for not defining ambiguous terms, which wasted my time and energy trying to figure out what they were going on about.
