you have hackers mass compromising rooted android os around the world

Why does my car needs to verify the integrity of my phone OS?
Because the app on your phone has the ability to unlock, start, open, etc. the vehicle.
The title makes it sound intentional. The reality is because they added a security feature that verifies the integrity of the OS. Only to make it work on other OS they have to manually add it, but the number of users is so small that they don't even think about it. This was Google's intention when adding it.
They were going to but did not. I'll defend the people who don't though: most articles are shit and filled with tons of rambling contextual nonsense just to arbitrarily extend their length. They're also often not the original source of the content, and trying to find the original is a pain in the dick because 90% of the links just link back to their own site, if there even is a link to the original at all. That's why I often add synopses to posts but I wish the people who posted them would add them instead...

As much as I love the old way of working, I think it would be strategic to come to terms with where this is heading, and to work out how to adapt and excel at solving the challenges and opportunities that we face.
A bunch of cryptic nonsense. Saying it's turning to shit without saying it, is my takeaway.
No one said it's not gambling, I said it's not a lottery.
