Sony might be one of the few OEMs that'll actually implement Google's Private Space feature in Android 15.

Most other OEMs will just stick with their current takes on this feature, like Samsung Secure Folder, Xiaomi Second Space, OnePlus Hide Apps, etc.

It's a shame because these other implementations can't be integrated into third-party launchers and also a lot of apps treat them like a work profile is installed.

Google Messages is rolling out a new UI for sending pictures!

The new UI unifies the camera/gallery and also adds a button to change the media quality. The default quality is compressed but you can send in original quality, finally!

9to5Google reported on the rollout of this new UI last night, after which I checked and saw that I had it on my device.

This is not an advertisement to continue using Windows. However it is a good list of the privacy nightmare that is collected from you by default. Windows is the very embodiment of the data harvesting industry in a nutshell. There is also a good tidbit about why you shouldn't allow even anonymous data collection.

Google is also rolling out an updated UI for Circle to Search that adds a button to show additional functions!

I quite like this change, as previously, Circle to Search was getting quite cramped with all the new features Google was cramming into it.

This new UI has been rolling out to several users in the past few days, but after receiving another tip about it last night, I noticed I had it myself.

A China-linked nation-state group named TAG-112 targeted Tibetan media and university websites, using a cyber espionage campaign to deliver the Cobalt Strike post-exploitation toolkit.

More than a distribution...
Define the target
T2 started as a community driven fork from the ROCK Linux Project with the aim to create a decentralized development and clean a framework for spin-off projects and customized distributions. Another goal was to provide a more continuous release stream for stable security updates.
With T2 you can define targets for various purposes, ranging from embedded linux systems with a few MB of size over server configurations to a full desktop system featuring X.Org foundation, KDE, Gnome, OpenOffice.Org and many more. Those targets can be compiled for use on the most common architectures: Alpha, ARM, HPPA (incl. HPPA64), IA64, MIPS, PowerPC (incl. PowerPC-64), SPARC (incl. SPARC64), SuperH, x86 (incl. x86-64) - theoretically any GCC/Linux supported one.
T2 comes with many predefined targets (desktop, router, live CD ...) and over 2000 package descriptions ready to build. A quick introduction how to compile a target for your favorite architecture can be found here.

The Build Environment
T2 features an automated build system which manages the whole compilation process including a possible installer CD creation. After initial creation of the build-tool chain, all packages are built inside a sandbox environment to monitor installed files and dependencies automatically. The build system can also modify the execution of various programs to provide a generic way to control compiler flags and file manipulations.
The T2 framework allows the creation of individual custom build target definitions and to customize any build aspect, as well as every single package built for it. Due to the nature of the clean source packages and its automatic build system, T2 is highly portable. Adding new architectures is easy and can be done within a day!
Since the automatic build system controls the whole build, it can transform compiler arguments used by the various packages on-the-fly. This allows adapting the optimization for the specified CPU platform, thus accelerating your product over its current limits.
QA - Quality Assurance
During T2 development, measurements are used to assure the high quality level defined by the developers. The sandbox environment is used to review the content installed by the packages, as well as the preconditions needed to build the package. In addition, a regression tester automatically verifies cross builds for the supported architectures and tracks the build status for every package included in T2.
With all the points outlined above, T2 offers a solid base and a flexible framework for integration with your custom applications. The state-of-the-art technology reduces the development time and the time to market.
Come in, we're open
Many end users and system administrators enjoy T2 with its clean and tested packages for daily home or office use.
With developers around the world, T2 is best suited for commercial scale products, especially in the embedded and high performance clustering market.
T2 aims to be open for active maintainers, with already over 20 people with write access to the T2 Subversion source repository. This organization provides for delivery of quick bug and security fixes (not relying on a single person in the process) and offers a nice development climate.
