OpenAI Thinks AI Agents Are Coming for Your Job This Year
If the CEO of OpenAI is correct, 2025 could be a transformative year for artificial intelligence.
There's a recent change by goolag that requires some patches for Google apps to work with microg.
Could we get this patch on RisingOS?
It's been included in LOS and crdroid code officially already. Here's more details:
Google recently changed the method used to create app signatures on all Google Apps, and will be rolling these changes out to ALL apps distributed via Google Play starting next year.
This requires all app signature spoofing methods (either embedded within your ROM or used as an external patch) to be updated to continue to support apps distributed via Google Play on a device running microG.
The Github comment linked below contains a list of which ROMs and signature spoofing patches have imported the changes necessary to support the new Google Play app signing mechanism.
https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/issues/2680#issuecomment-2548579352
Here's a summary of the situation:
FakeGApps (fix merged) - v6.5 or higher contains the fixes
LineageOS 19.1/20/21/22 (fix merged) - All builds from 2024/12/17 onwards contain the fix
LineageOS for microG (fix auto-included from upstream) - All builds from 2024/12/17 onwards contain the fix
/e/OS (fix merged) - v2.6.3 or higher contains the fix
crDroid (fix merged) - v15.0-20241225 or higher contains the fix
CalyxOS 6.2.2 and 5.14.1 (fix merged) - New versions in the works
IodéOS v5.8 or higher (fix included)
DivestOS (no info yet)

Google Security Alert As Backdoor VPN Threat Confirmed
Google security researchers have warned of a keylogging, screen capturing, audio recording threat “bundled with” popular VPNs and apps. Here’s what you need to know.

Google says this offline tracking is made possible by “specialized Pixel hardware” in its latest two phones. More specifically, Google spokesperson Natalie Johnson told me that “there’s reserve power on the device for several hours that is channeled to the Bluetooth chip.” This help center page confirms that devices can be located “for several hours” after being turned off or if they shut off from a low battery.

But in all seriousness, this is cooked. Also, driver is signed. Throw in the pile of crappy poo poo pee pee drivers

Shoutout to the homies at "IObit Malware Fighter".
Their IMFForceDelete driver is so wildly vulnerable, and poorly written, you can have their driver arbitrarily delete any file on the machine with 0 privileges and literally 1 line of code
Thanks _mmpte_software for sharing
