Google is rolling out some new features for all Android users, including:

1) Scam Detection in Messages.

2) Live location sharing in Find My Device.

3) New gaming apps available for Android Auto while parked.

4) Shopping insights in Chrome.

Android 15 is done!

Today's Pixel Drop update is based on Android 15 QPR2, for which Google also started uploading the source code.

QPR2 is the final quarterly release of Android 15, as Google has accelerated Android's release cycle and will be releasing Android 16 earlier than usual in Q2 of this year.

(More details on this accelerated release cycle here.)

Android 15 will still be getting security patch backports, but it won't be getting any new feature updates. Onward to Baklava!

Given that Nvidia treats its customers like crap and gouges them perhaps it's time to consider the alternatives. While Intel CPUs might be terrible their GPU offerings are starting to pick up favor.

The way to stick it to Nvidia is to choose other offerings.

Wallbleed caused certain nation-wide censorship middleboxes to reveal up to 125 bytes of their memory when censoring a crafted DNS query. It afforded a rare insight into one of the Great Firewall’s well-known network attacks, namely DNS injection, in terms of its internal architecture and the censor’s operational behaviors.
