Honey co-founder's Pie Adblock called out for copying GPL'd uBlock Origin files

And, magically, a repo appears on GitHub with attribution

Closed-source browser extension Pie Adblock was this week accused of copying code and text from rival uBlock Origin in violation of the latter's software license – the GNU GPL version 3.

The Fate of the Exynos 2500

Samsung Galaxy S25 series will be powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen Elite Leading Edition (4.57GHz overclocked) everywhere, irrespective of the country, instead of the Exynos 2500 because of the poor yields of the Samsung 2nd Gen 3nm GAA architecture. Fortunately, the Exynos 2500 is still alive and Samsung has even begun its mass production and it will power the Galaxy Flip 7.

Anyways, Galaxy S25+ Europe model with 12GB RAM running Android 15 was spotted on Geekbench 6 which revealed the configuration of the chip

CPU:
1x Cortex-X925 @ 3.30GHz
2x Cortex-X925 @ 2.75GHz
5x Cortex-A725 @ 2.36GHz
2x Cortex-A525 @ 1.80GHz

Thus, a deca-core confirguration of 1+2+5+2.
NOTE: The clock speeds are NOT final because it was running on energy_aware and is a prototype model as well

GPU: Samsung Xclipse 950 @ 1.3GHz
Based on the AMD RDNA 3.5 architecture
16CU (compute units)
