Samsung delivers phones via drones - just Ireland for now
At the moment, this service is only available to those living in Oranmore, on the outskirts of the Irish town Galway (county Galway). As the company stared, this new service will soon be available to everyone in Ireland.
Reaching an altitudes from 50 to 80 meters and speeds of over 60 km/h, the space grade drones were specifically designed for this delivery project.

Why is Redmi 12 5G with Snapdragon 4 gen 2 so cheap?
Xiaomi launched Redmi 12 5G powered by latest snapdragon 4 gen 2 at just ₹12K only
It seems suspicious though, Let's find out!
Xiaomi website mentions that Redmi 12 5G does NOT use proximity & gyroscope sensors!
So, Xiaomi must have used Virtual proximity & gyroscope sensors which are just awful
Virtual proximity sensor is very inconsistent as the screen will turn ON during calls and mis-touches are frequent.
Addition of screen protectors will make it worse
Virtual gyroscope sensors will gave you delays while playing games on the smartphone.
GPS navigation while using the Maps would be inconsistent
It will even use more power from the battery than physical sensors
Fun Fact: Xiaomi China added that Redmi Note 12R uses Virtual proximity & Gyroscope
Xiaomi Global & India "hide it" 🤣
In short, Xiaomi chose to offer a Garbage User Experience while making its smartphone affordable.

In just a decade, Telegram gained over 800 million active users purely thanks to word of mouth. Through numerous updates and improvements over the years, Telegram has redefined what a modern messaging experience should be like.
The next step for Telegram is to go beyond messaging and spearhead innovation in social media in general. We should use our popularity to change the lives of billions for better, to inspire and uplift people on our planet.
Today’s gradual roll-out of stories for all users marks the beginning of this new stage in the history of Telegram. While this past decade was exciting, the next 10 years will be the time when Telegram reaches its true potential.

Google is working on a new developer option in Android that will swap out your device's Linux kernel with one that uses a 16K page size. Compiling the kernel to use 16K pages could provide a significant performance improvement but also break many apps.
A page is a fixed-length contiguous block of virtual memory. Android currently uses a 4K page size, while iOS and macOS use a 16K page size. Some workloads benefit significantly by using a larger page size, like kernel compilation.
But although ARM64 Linux binaries are compatible with 4K, 16K, and 64K pages by default, many native apps and Android OS components that assume a 4K page size might just break. (These comments by a lead Asahi Linux developer go into a lot more detail about the potential challenges.)
This is why Google is incrementally experimenting with 16K page size support in Android. They've been working on compiling the kernel with a 16K page size and fixing various issues since last October, but late last week, a Googler submitted a series of patches to AOSP (that have not yet been merged) that add a "developer option for booting with 16K pages."
If/when these patches are merged, a new "enable 16K pages" toggle will be added under Settings > System > Developer Options. When you toggle this option, Android will warn you that "some applications may not be compatible with this mode." Android will then call update_engine - the system OTA service - to swap the kernel to a 16K compatible one.
I have no idea if/when this developer option will land, nor whether Google will actually go through with changing to a 16K page size compatible kernel. If they do, it won't be for a while and the transition will be slow given how much might break.

Introducing ULTRARAM
Source
Researchers at the Lancaster University in the UK have developed a new type of "universal memory " called as ULTRARAM that can exceed the longevity of your SSD's & match read/write speeds of DRAM that too while working on a low power
DRAM has its read & write speeds a LOT faster than SSD, but it's volatile, so it needs constant power supply for storage.
If power goes, so does the information
Flash memory is much cheaper & can retain your data without a power supply but its a LOT slower
ULTRARAM will offer you performance level of DRAM & allowing you to close your laptop, come back 1,000 years later & still pick up where you left off while consuming less power
So, NO Sleep mode required now
It would be like Windows' hibernation "without" any drawbacks of slow boot times
ULTRARAM even won an award at the Flash Memory Summit.
ULTRARAM is NOT a silicon product as it relies upon compound semiconductors like Gallium Antimonide, Indium Arsenide etc

Android 14 will let you Block full-screen Ads
Source
Ads are necessary for websites, apps to make money but full-screen ads are very annoying as they take over your phone's screen & takes a lot of time to be closed
To combat this, Android 14 will let you manually revoke full-screen notification permissions from apps
Google has added the USE_FULL_SCREEN_INTENT permission (used by apps to provide full-screen notifications) that can be Turned OFF manually by the user
Even if some apps that does NOT show you full-screen ads, by disabling this permission, apps CANNOT show you full-screen notifications at all.
It will be available in Settings> Apps> Special app access> Full screen notifications
Google will even Turn OFF this permission bydefault for apps downloaded from playstore unless you turn it ON
Note: Clock & Dialer apps are exceptions for this permission
Oppos' ColorOS & other OEMs which shows full-screen ads can now CRY in the corner

Realme's Deceptive Game: The Bootloader U-turn
First, internal sources revealed that Realme is disabling bootloader unlock support worldwide, "except" for China users.
Then, they briefly allowed unlocking after this news spread.
In reality, they just allowed it for a while to "show" to the people that they "care" for them because servers have been killed once again.
Hence, the internal source claim turned out to be correct.
Realme's 2-month 'Security Upgrade' was just a fancy excuse to shut the door on bootloader unlock.
They LIED to all of their users.
From now, you CANNOT unlock bootloader on your Realme smartphones
If a company can't support unlocking bootloaders, it goes against what makes Android appealing - Its open-source nature.
Disabling bootloader unlocking is similar to making it like iOS.
I can't even imagine comparing Realme UI to iOS considering RUI is pure garbage
These Chinese brands just exercise cheap tactics and provides empty/FAKE assurances to the people
