Remember the Google Jamboard?
That $5,000 digital whiteboard that Google killed off last year?
Three LineageOS developers have brought it back to life! Instead of throwing it out, you can turn it into a cartoonishly large Android tablet or run Android TV on it.

RIP: Google has confirmed that it isn't currently working on a new tablet until it "figures out a meaningful future for the category."
The company also confirmed it isn't developing a smart ring, either.

Oooh. Google Play will require developers submitting TV apps (with native code in them) to provide 64-bit versions starting August 1, 2026, in preparation for "upcoming 64-bit Google TV and Android TV devices."
Are we going to start seeing new TV devices with more RAM soon?

A year later, the โcriminal investigationโ against me is still struggling to find anything that I or Telegram did wrong. Our moderation practices align with industry standards, and Telegram has always responded to every legally binding request from France.
Ironically, I was arrested due to the French policeโs own mistake: before August 2024, they ignored French and EU laws and hadnโt sent any of their queries to Telegram via the required legal process. They could have learned the correct procedure simply by googling it or asking.
One year after this strange arrest, I still have to return to France every 14 days, with no appeal date in sight. Sadly, the only outcome of my arrest so far has been massive damage to Franceโs image as a free country.

๐งAndroid will soon let you decide if your Pixel can lower your loud headphone volume
To abide by regulatory requirements, Google in Android 14 QPR1 added a "sound exposure notifications" feature that not only warns you about prolonged exposure to loud audio but can automatically lower your headphone's volume to protect your hearing.
Currently, there's no way to control this feature - even in regions where it's not mandated by regulation. But Google is preparing a new 'Hearing Wellness' menu that will let you control this.

โก Palantir for Cars Hits U.S. Hardware Stores
Have you driven to the hardware store recently? If you have, your car may be in a searchable database thanks to Flock cameras. These systems scan every license plate, detect gunshots, and provide live footage to police.
All data feeds into Nova, a Palantir-like search platform where cops can look up things like โbrown SUV with a dented door.โ
The Electronic Frontier Foundation filed a Freedom of Information Act request and handed the data over to 404.media who first reported on this.
They produced a PDF showing police departments and locations that use Flock cameras, including 171 Home Depot and Loweโs locations across the United States.
I ran the document through OCR, uploaded it to the Internet Archive, and made it searchable (the first page is a bit garbled, but the rest is readabable.) Check to see if your store is on the list:
