Yes I may be confusing the two here I’ll adjust


Cars with electronicaly adjustable timing will detect if there is knock caused by pre-detonation/pre-ignition and advance or retard the timing to compensate. So cars that can do both octanes will have the timing more advanced when premium gas is present allowing for more power and efficiency. More timing with lower octane gas will explode earlier than expected causing pre-detonation/pre-ignition.
Engines that have premium requirements usually have higher compression, forced induction (turbo super, charger, ect) or even a more aggressive cam setup that advances timing where variable timing can’t compensate or it doesn’t have variable timing. So they need higher octane in order to ensure the engine isn’t igniting at the wrong time, which over time damages pistons, rings and other components.
Also if your car is not designed for both, you are just throwing money away getting premium if it requires regular. Best case no difference or in the case of my wife’s car would actually cause a check engine light.


Right? My previous car was designed to be flexible premium cost roughly the same with mpg boost and the car was more powerful. It’s really not that different I was a poor college kid at the time too.
Now if your car is premium only and you are putting regular in you are just looking to break something.


I cannot find my source unfortunately poked around a bit. Unfortunately this article was better than even the ones I was finding.


Google apple agreed to increase android security for the deployment of RCS to both platforms. This directly looked like enforcing root detection and safety net(now play integrity) enforcement to use RCS. I’m speculating restricting side loading is also part of that agreement. It would make sense considering it’s forbidden on apple.


Really starting to wonder what they signed with apple to get RCS. Seems to be they sold the soul of android.
Usually if I’m updating everything prior to having more automated updates. Some projects like next cloud and and matrix have deep dependency trees
