Google Phone starts rolling out ‘Audio Emoji’
The list of "Audio Emoji" includes:
• Clapping 👏
• Laughing 😂
• Party 🎉
• Crying 😢
• Poop 💩
• Sting 🥁
When you, as the caller, select one of these "Audio Emoji," the Google Phone app will play a fun animation while a sound effect plays for a couple of seconds. The sound effect is heard on both ends of the phone call. There's a "cooldown" in between that prevents you from playing sounds back to back.
There’s a button to access it in the overflow menu, but there’s also a chip that appears in the main calling interface.
Audio Emoji is rolling out via the latest Google Phone update in the beta channel, version 128. It will likely launch for all users in the weeks to come.

Telecom industry seeks ban on sale of WiFi 6E routers in India
The COAI, whose members include Reliance Jio, Airtel, and Vodafone Idea, in a letter to the Department of Telecom on April 15 said the sale of equipment for 6 GHz band utilisation, which has not yet been assigned for this purpose or has not been declared as licence-exempt by the government, is illegal and should be banned immediately in the country.
The COAI Director General SP Kochhar said that using such WiFi devices operating in the 6 GHz band will render customers responsible for these unauthorized transmissions, placing the burden of liability on consumers and shifting the onus of responsibility for such unauthorized transmissions from the real offenders to the consumers.

OpenAI may launch search engine to take on Google
Popular tipster Jimmy Apples on X platform has claimed that OpenAI is expected to host an event on May 9, a week ahead of Google's annual I/O event (May 14).
In a recent podcast with Lex Fridman, Altman emphasized OpenAI's desire to avoid simply replicating Google Search. "I find the current model boring. The question shouldn't be about building a 'better' Google Search. It's about fundamentally improving information discovery, utilization, and synthesis," he explained.
It is widely reported that OpenAI is said to have used some of Microsoft Bing's resources to build its search engine.
This could also render Perplexity AI obsolete.

After being inactive for 3 years, Neofetch is now archived!
The owner archived the GitHub repository on Apr 26, 2024 and is now read-only, which means that the development for Neofetch has ceased. However, the development seemed to stall a few years back, as the pull requests and issues were ignored, and there were no new commits since 2020.
Here are some alternatives to Neofetch:
• hyfetch - Actively maintained Neofetch fork
• Fastfetch - Like Neofetch, but written in C
• screenFetch - Bash Screenshot Information Tool
• macchina - Currently in maintenance mode (bug fixes)
• Archey - Written in Python

The entire Rabbit R1 Fuck-up, in one post™.
A while ago the Rabbit R1 was announced which many people were curious about. Well... it was basically a scam in short. Rabbit R1 is an Android app which people CAN RUN ON NORMAL ANDROID PHONES.
Now, that's cool and all. Ofcourse, Rabbit denied the claims as well...
But well.... the source code of R1 has also been leaked. Yep, the entire source code has been leaked. Again, Rabbit tries to deny it to do 'damage-control'.
🌐 The video showing R1 as an Android app.
✈️ Link to the launcher (magisk module. it launches but won't connect to Rabbit servers anymore.)

Spotify leaks suggest lossless audio is almost ready
Spotify’s current bitrate tops out at 320kbps, but that could soon change if screenshots taken from version 1.2.36 of Spotify by Redditor OhItsTom are accurate.
They show what users could expect from the lossless feature, including a device compatibility checker and lossless streaming quality of up to 1,411kbps, and it could go even higher.
Spotify is internally referring to the feature as “enhanced listening” instead of HiFi now.

YouTube Premium members can now test AI-powered 'Jump ahead'
After double-tapping to skip ahead, you’ll see a button that "jumps you to where most viewers typically skip ahead to." The "Jump ahead" button appears for a few seconds in the bottom-right corner before disappearing if you just wanted to go ahead by 10 seconds.
YouTube is leveraging AI and watch data to identify that "next best point."
This is only available for the YouTube Android app in the US with English videos. It’s not available on every video.
You must be a YouTube Premium member to enable this experiment today with a June 1 end date listed, which could be extended.

Our Android Health API offerings have moved to an on-device model, so there will not be an alternative to the Fit REST API. Where possible, we encourage Fit REST API users to migrate to Android Health APIs.

United States Sanctions Senior Leader of the LockBit Ransomware Group
The United States, along with its allies, has identified and sanctioned Dmitry Yuryevich Khoroshev, a leader of the LockBit ransomware group. Khoroshev is believed to be responsible for developing and distributing LockBit ransomware, which has targeted critical infrastructure sectors worldwide. The US Department of State is offering a reward of up to $10 million for information that leads to Khoroshev's arrest.
LockBit is a Ransomware-as-a-Service group responsible for numerous attacks, including the attack on the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China's U.S. broker-dealer and Chicago's Saint Anthony Hospital.
The sanctions imposed on Khoroshev will freeze his assets in the United States and prohibit US persons from doing business with him.
Edit:
Lockbit ransomware group has made a statement to the FBI. It says: "The FBI is bluffing, I’m not Dimon, I feel sorry for the real Dimon))) oh, and he'll get fucked for my sins)))"
