The Linux kernel with RTL is now fully merged
Last week, September 16, 2024, something very important, at least for us geeks — finally happened: the Linux realtime effort, which was dubbed PREEMPT_RT in its early days and later Real-Time Linux (RTL), finally, finally succeeded! After "only" 20 years, all of the RTL code will soon be in-tree in the upcoming 6.12 Linux kernel.
6.11 was released on 23 Sep 2024, here's the recent 6.9 patches.

EU privacy regulator fines Meta 91 million euros over password storage
The Data Protection Commission (DPC) has levied a €91 million, or around $101.5 million, fine against Meta for maintaining some of its users' passwords without protection or encryption. The inquiry was opened after Meta informed the DPC five years ago, in 2019, that it had maintained passwords in 'plaintext' for many users, adding that they hadn't been accessed by people outside the corporation,
According to the DPC, passwords must not be stored as plaintext, considering the risks of abuse that arise from persons accessing such data. This most recent fine makes the total amount of GDPR fines slapped on Meta to €2.5 billion, including a record €1.2 billion fine in 2023 that Meta is appealing.

NSA tracks Google ads to find Tor users
The National Security Agency uses a bit of jiu-jitsu to turn the structure of Web ad networks against people who run Tor to remain anonymous.

WhatsApp and Cloudflare Launch Plexi for Enhanced Security
WhatsApp has teamed up with Cloudflare to enhance the security of end-to-end encrypted messages through a new auditing process for Key Transparency. This partnership introduces Plexi, an auditing tool designed to monitor and verify the integrity of public keys used in encryption, ensuring secure user communication.
Plexi functions as an independent auditor, checking the logs of public keys to confirm their accuracy and integrity during transmission. The auditing architecture, illustrated in the attached image, reinforces the trustworthiness of public keys, helping to prevent tampering and maintain secure communication for users.

The Android 16 codename has been revealed, and it isn't a dessert that starts with the letter W!
That might seem odd since Android 14's codename was Upside Down Cake & Android 15's was Vanilla Ice Cream, but the reason why makes sense once you read it.

This is Android 16's codename — and it's not what you're expecting
The Android 16 codename has been revealed, and it isn't at all what you're expecting. In fact, it doesn't start with the letter "W" at all!

Here's the Android 16 news I was ACTUALLY teasing today:
Google may release Android 16 much earlier than expected. Evidence and sources point towards a release happening in Q2 - not Q3 - of 2025!
Details + evidence can be found in my latest article on Android Authority.

Google may be planning to release Android 16 in Q2 of 2025, which is unusual since major Android versions typically arrive in Q3 or Q4.

Legacy calls and texts should be avoided as they're not secure and trust the carrier / network along with having weak security against other parties. Trying to detect some forms of interception rather than dealing with the root of the problem (unencrypted communications / data transfer) would be foolish and doomed to failure.
