We got "pervert glasses" as a thing, now what would these be?

Didn't test nor read the code, but the premise is pretty nice. Tldr Android doesn't verify (in complete meaning of this word) the signature of system apps, as the security model relies on verifying the whole partition instead. So to save resources, it trusts the signature part of the apk without trying to match the binary against it. An apk crafted this way won't be user-installable, but no one stops you from forcing your way with it into the system.

Looks like even if you disable Play Protect, GMS Android gonna be snitching what you attempt to install whenever you're not doing it from ADB.
There are other ways they can know, but looks like we're going to have a visual (user-facing) proof of that this time. Funny to think how it used to be a frustrating practice on Chinese stock ROMs, now for the rest of the world xD

And yes, "looks like" actually isn't very speculative in this regard: you'll always be notified

I don't remember if I commented about RAW14 image format here, but looks like Google isn't utilizing it for photos on latest gen after all. What's exposed on Pixel 11 Pro is RAW12 and RAW_SENSOR with white level 4095.

State of wireless file transfer in Android malware is already better than state of wireless file transfer in AOSP (there's still only Bluetooth)

Since Snapdragon 8 Elite (gen 4), a change in Chromatix caused seemingly most devices to render shadows with much lower precision than predecessors, at least when NOISE_REDUCTION_MODE and EDGE_MODE are set to off. In the past, you could usually count for these two CaptureRequest keys to allow you to get a photo mostly resembling a RAW. Now, the difference between jpegs and raws is impossible to not notice.
There are workarounds (RAW-based JPEGs, possibly a vendor key), but this is going to be your experience with Lineage's camera app (Aperture) and on many others for the foreseeable future on the chips in question.

As much as I'll keep looking for a more complete review of the official P11 gcam tuning feature (aka Camera Looks), GSMArena shared samples shot on these presets and it's clear as a day that "Minimal" looks much better than "Natural".

Not gonna say buy Pixel (please don't), but these results could finally be comparable with what Vivo allows in their stock cam, and that means usable.

Oh, so you can't just take out the phone and take a normal photo after all?

Minimal seems to have implications not just for the overall look, but also aggression of denoising. It seems to have no obvious disadvantages versus natural, but it seems more eager to clip highlights.
It's clear as it has always been: Pixels will still need a modded gcam.
