Google is preparing a new Battery Health page with 'recalibration' feature.

Android 14 QPR1 introduced a new "Battery Information" page that displays the battery manufacture date and the number of charge cycles. However, this page is missing in the latest beta version of Android 14 QPR2.

Instead, Google plans to move the feature back to the Settings Services app as it originally planned. Android 14 QPR2 Beta 2 includes a new version of the app, numbered 1.1.0.577782882.df, which includes the *hidden* Battery Health page. So far, it shows "Unsupported" when I try to enable it.

However, strings within the app hint that Google will offer users the option to recalibrate the battery:

Improve battery measurements

Your battery is recalibrating. This process may take a few weeks. When it’s finished, the battery capacity will be updated.

The battery capacity shown above is before recalibration. It may change after recalibration is complete.\n\nThis is an estimate of the maximum charge the battery can currently hold compared to when it was new.\n\nBattery capacity decreases over time.

Also, the Battery Health feature has 5 possible states: Unsupported, Normal, Capacity Reduced, Unknown and Recalibrating.

Interesting: It looks like Google might be rebranding Nearby Share to Quick Share. Quick Share is notably the name of Samsung's file sharing service on Galaxy devices. Are these two services going to be merged?

BREAKING: GTA V Source Code Leaked

The full source code for GTA 5 has been allegedly leaked online via a Discord message.

The Link contained a zip file of 1.6TB including full assets.
However, the link was already taken down

This source code isn’t entirely new, as it originated from the 2022 GTA 6 leaks, where the hacker also got a hold of the GTA V source code but kept a major part of it private to others where it was sold in between close people who would benefit from the code (such as mod menu makers), with prices rumored to be going up for 50,000$.

Surprisingly, GTA 6 and Bully 2 details are also contained in the GTA 5 leak along with maps
GTA 6 was at one point codenamed “Project Americas”

GTA VI clips hacker sentenced to lifetime Hospital imprisonment
BBC

The 18-year-old hacker, Arion Kurtaj from Oxford, who is autistic, was a member of Lapsus$ & he leaked 90 clips of GTA VI in 2022
The Judge has sentenced him to an indefinite hospital order.

The court said that he had been violent while in custody with reports of injury & property damage due to his severe autism

He "continued to express the intent to return to cyber-crime as soon as possible. He is highly motivated."

Despite having his laptop confiscated, Kurtaj still managed to breach Rockstar Games by using an Amazon Firestick, his hotel TV, and a mobile phone.

He broke into the company's internal Slack messaging system to declare "If Rockstar does not contact me on Telegram within 24 hours I will start releasing the source code".

Rockstar Games said that the hack cost it $5 Million to recover & hours of staff time.

The court will release him once the doctors will see him NO longer a threat
