This is nothing new.

Up until ~5 years ago, hacking U2F to make it pass (smuggle?) arbitrary data was exactly how hardware wallet like those from Ledger and Trezor were communicating with websites and web extensions (like Metamask), for the lack of a better alternative. This is how hardware secured "web3" came to be.

An unsuspected (to me!) place for good kid friendly games, free of ads and in-app purchases or other predatory patterns, is Apple Arcade on iPad.

My 5 y/o is having great fun with the Crayola app and Cooking Mama, and, honestly, between each round, I'm waiting for an ad to pop, a nag screen to pay for stuff or review, a countdown or some other crap we're accustomed to on mobile games and no. Nothing. Just the full game and nothing else. It's a refreshing experience.

You can still use the Ledger Nano X via USB, like a Nano S.

If you're not confortable using Bluetooth, you can disable it on the device itself.

Absolutely.

Disclosure: I'm a dev at Ledger working on the desktop and mobile apps. I'm not in the hardware team nor the security team.

> all the bluetooth, screen and button IO goes through an unsecure processor

On the new device, the screen and buttons are now directly wired to the ST33 secure element

There's no Android phone, Google Now is running on an iPhone 5(s).

I, somehow, missed the news about the new Blink rendering engine and thought this was about Opera supporting the <blink> tag. Phew.
