Xiaomi fired General Manager of Redmi and Market Department
Xiaomi China promoted Wang Teng as the General Manager of Xiaomi China Marketing Department, while still holding the role of General Manager of the REDMI brand in December 2024. But now, Xiaomi has fired him for allegedly leaking the company's secrets.
Funfact: Wang Teng was recently caught using SukiSU Ultra to root his Xiaomi tablet, thus indicating, unlocking bootloader on his Xiaomi tablet could also be one of the reasons.
Wang Teng has even issued a public apology for his wrongdoings.

Xiaomi has started blocking third-party launchers like Niagara. Try setting one as default, and you get a dramatic warning about “data leaks,” “battery drain,” and other doomsday scenarios. Suddenly, switching your launcher is a national security risk.
However, users were easily able to bypass this grand “security feature” through a simple app from the Play Store. Just open Activity Launcher, tap a hidden setting, and voila — third-party launcher is back like nothing happened.
So much for “security,” but in reality, just an annoying pop-up with zero actual protection. That's Xiaomi

Nerds angry at ProtonMail today (yesterday?) due to internet drama (as is tradition). People are big mad. Is it a big deal? Are people overreacting? Why did normie accounts comment on the issue like they know what's going on?
Phrack did some silly things on the internet. They were able to get access to North Korean state-sponsored machines, or something, which were being used to attack South Korean government stuff. Specifically, the DPRK was targeting:
- South Korea Defense Counterintelligence Command
- South Korea Ministry of Foreign Affairs
- ???
Phrack was able to do some internet nerd stuff and dump DPRK password sheets (domain, username, password) which were stored in various files unencrypted (literally a .docx). They also dumped screenshots of user stuff, more credentials, tooling, documentation, and 20,000 browser history entries.
Following this, Phrack decided to be nice and notify the South Korean government regarding the DPRK.
I'm not a government nerd, but I'd guess that the South Korean government would like to be notified of any intelligence regarding the DPRK and their offensive cybersecurity actions toward them.
Here is the drama:
Phrack was speaking to South Korean nerds in proxy. Some nerd made a Proton e-mail and contacted the South Korean government from Proton e-mail. On August 15th, proxy nerd had their Proton e-mail magically nuked. Additionally, Phrack nerd had their Proton e-mail magically nuked August 16th.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to put 2 and 2 together here and determine that Proton, for reasons not explained, took action against them (in some capacity) and terminated their accounts.
Phrack then contacted Proton e-mail requesting an unban, or something. Proton replied with, "your account will cause further damage to our service, therefore we will keep the account suspended."
Phrack then decided to contact Proton legal department. Phrack contacted Proton's legal department on 8 separate occasions and was ignored.
Did Proton violate their privacy stuff by terminating the Phrack accounts? Why was Phrack stuff terminated? Did the South Korean government get big mad and decide to send legal stuff to Phrack? Is Proton illegal and for nerds?

This is likely the first Amazon Alexa device running Linux with a mainline kernel and postmarketOS.
All credit goes to Ben, who did the heavy lifting by porting everything to MT8163. I just helped by testing and providing UART logs.
Overall, the kernel is surprisingly solid, and a lot of hardware is already working , including Wi-Fi.
Interestingly, the device uses a Broadcom USB Wi-Fi adapter that's soldered internally, instead of the more typical MediaTek combo chips.
The GPU is also functional, thanks to Panfrost. We're currently using simpledrm for display, as we haven't managed to get the DSI interface working properly yet.
You can follow the full progress on the PMOS wiki page we recently created:

BREAKING: Spotify Issues DMCA Notice to Revanced over Unlock Premium Patch
Spotify claims that the patch is a derivative of their copyrighted works & it circumvents Spotify’s technological protection measures under DMCA 1201(a) as the patch enables access to copyrighted content by bypassing encryption, transfer key protocols & premium feature restrictions (eg. skipping).
But, acc. to Revanced, the patch does not copy Spotify’s code. The app requires attestation to prevent it from becoming unusable if modified. Also, the patch neither enable downloads nor give access to unavailable songs on free spotify.
However, if attestation bypass alone constitutes a DMCA 1201 violation, then not only premium but also the “make the app work when patched” functionality could be affected.
Thus, Revanced is seeking legal expertise to understand their position & risks until their deadline of 1 business day. You may also help them if you have copyright/DMCA knowledge. The DMCA Notice is attached here.
