Its only everything from other instances and communities that the current instance subscribes to. It doesn’t subscribe to the full pipe of everything.

I stopped using it to pay because then I’d have to set up a PIN, and then type in the PIN every time I want to use it

This shocked me when I went from my Galaxy Watch 3 to a Galaxy Watch 6. I used to only have to put a PIN when I wanted to pay, but now it’s anything on the watch?

Because of that, I also disabled the payment app.

but completely backwards in thinking that an undocumented bluetooth backdoor is worse than the worst vulnerability found since the invention of the internet

Right HeartBleed was way worse than this, not on the same level. I wasn’t claiming the opposite.

I was responding to the comment that appeared to suggest they were on the same level.

No way they’re on the same level. Heartbleed allowed for remote memory reads. This requires you to have access to change the firmware and just gives you some more APIs to control the WiFi system and possibly bypass firmware verification.
