iPads join iPhones in requirement to follow strict EU rules
iPadOS will now have to comply with the rules that allow users in Europe to download apps from outside the Apple App Store, uninstall apps preloaded on iPads, and select default services like browsers from choice screens.
The Commission's investigation found that Apple presents the features of a gatekeeper in relation to iPadOS, as among others:
β’ Apple's business user numbers exceeded the quantitative threshold elevenfold, while its end user numbers were close to the threshold and are predicted to rise in the near future.
β’ End users are locked-in to iPadOS. Apple leverages its large ecosystem to disincentivise end users from switching to other operating systems for tablets.
β’ Business users are locked-in to iPadOS because of its large and commercially attractive user base, and its importance for certain use cases, such as gaming apps.
Apple has now six months to ensure full compliance with the DMA obligations as applied to iPadOS.

Systemd wants to expand to include a sudo replacement, "run0"
Systemd lead developer Lennart Poettering has posted on Mastodon about their upcoming v256 release of Systemd, which is expected to include a sudo replacement called "run0".
The developer talks about the weaknesses of sudo, and how it has a large possible attack surface (SUID Binary, network access, LDAP configurations, and other types of plugins). A better privilege escalation system should be in place for 2024 security standards.
Also, Lennart has mentioned that it will tint your terminal background in a reddish tone while you are operating with elevated privileges. It will also insert a red dot in the window title while you operate with privileges.

With systemd v256 we are going one step towards this. Thereβs a new tool in systemd, called "run0". Or actually, itβs not a new tool, itβs actually the long-existing tool βsystemd-runβ, but when invoked under the "run0" name (via a symlink) it behaves a lot like a sudo clone. But with one key difference: itβs not in fact SUID. Instead it just asks the service manager to invoke a command or shell under the target userβs UID. It allocates a new PTY for that, and then shovels data back and forth from the originating TTY and this PTY.
Also, Lennart has mentioned that it will tint your terminal background in a reddish tone while you are operating with elevated privileges. It will also insert a red dot in the window title while you operate with privileges.

Google Phone starts rolling out βAudio Emojiβ
The list of "Audio Emoji" includes:
β’ Clapping π
β’ Laughing π
β’ Party π
β’ Crying π’
β’ Poop π©
β’ Sting π₯
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.
Thereβs a button to access it in the overflow menu, but thereβs 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.
