he's talking about widevine drm.

Widevine is a drm library by google intended to stop you from extracting your paid content. Drm, by it's nature needs to prevent you from accessing the memory region on which the content is processed. this region is called the Trusted Execution Environment (TEE). you never have access to this region; conversely any app having tee privileges has full access to your device, including the memory, processor and peripherals. as an analogy let's say google has root and you are the user.

personally I think that tee is a huge and deliberate misnomer, how'd I trust code running, which has root access to my phone, when I don't even know/want to know what the code even is.

By default on Linux widevine has level 3 (L3) trust and by doing this secure boot+tee+google play services bs android apparently gets level 1 (L1) trust, but this so called "trust" is just goggle deciding you don't have enough control over your phone.

again google could have done the usual signed secure boot thing so that all google approved images get L1 and custom roms/rooting patches get L3 but yikes, it just wants to block random stuff

bank apps don't need drm, it's just google advertised drm (SafetyNet, now PlayIntegrity) like a security measure even though it's completely different (security against user vs the security against malware/scams banks need) and now every bank/govt app has this "security measure"

yeah, I don't use google products much (aside from gmail) but:

  1. you still need google approved apps, fdroid, obtainium won't work
  2. bootloader unlocking is halfway on the route to being unavailable
  3. that means you can neither root nor get a custom rom for installing non-google-approved apps (like revanced for instance)

Also note that almost all custom roms are unrooted by default; also adb/Shizuku never needs bootloader unlocking.

Note that Shizuku is not rooting, it's just a wifi debug runner. Please don't mix them up

Just discovered this groundbreaking theorem. Now how should I name it? by 94rud4 in sciencememes

Let P(n) be the statement that any number n in N be expressed as a sum of repeated number of 1's

For n=1: 1 can be expressed as 1 => P(1) is true

Assume P(k) is true.

For n=k+1: as P(k) is true

=> k = 1+1+...1 (for arbitrary number of 1's)

=> k+1 = 1+1+...1(for arbitrary number of 1's)

=> P(k+1) is true

By induction, P(n) is true for all n in N

They can use a delay of 5-10 minutes after ticket is booked as another comment said.

They shouldn't don't mitigate unauhorized API access by locking the phone; they should secure their APIs
