The new reCAPTCHA on Android requires Google Play Services version 25.41.30 or higher. Without these, verification fails, blocking users on custom ROMs like GrapheneOS that lack Google software.
Instead of image challenges, users must now scan a QR code. This depends on background Play Services connecting to Google servers. iOS devices running 16.4 or later pass without Google apps.
Google introduced this update as part of its Cloud Fraud Defense platform on April 23. The Play Services dependency was not mentioned then.
By linking web verification to proprietary services, Google forces Android users to run its software and share data to access many websites.
On May 10, the last Tesla Model S and Model X rolled off the Fremont factory line in California. The Model S had a 14-year run, the Model X 11 years.
The final car was a black Model S signed by the entire production team, likely destined for a museum.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced the end of these models in January, calling it an "honorable retirement." Both flagship vehicles had seen declining sales for some time.
The freed-up Fremont factory space will be used to produce Optimus humanoid robots, with a planned capacity of up to 1 million units per year.
