You probably heard about Epic's latest lawsuit against Google, which alleges they were involved in the decision to make Samsung's Auto Blocker feature be enabled by default in the latest version of One UI.
(Auto Blocker, if you aren't aware, is a feature that, when enabled, blocks sideloading apps from outside the Google Play Store or Samsung Galaxy Store.)
Google is now coming out to say that Epic's lawsuit is a "meritless and dangerous move" and that they did not request Samsung create their Auto Blocker feature. Google goes on to state that "Android device makers are free to innovate and design additional safety features for their devices."
I find the use of the word "create" in Google's statement to be interesting. Epic didn't allege that Google made Samsung create the Auto Blocker feature but rather made them turn it on by default. However, Epic admitted that they don't yet have any proof that there was any collusion. We'll have to see how things go in court.

KB5043145, the most recent optional update for Windows 11 to date, causes multiple issues for many users. The most serious one is a blue screen of death that makes the PC unbootable. Microsoft has confirmed the bug and is working on a solution.
After upgrading the device to Windows 11 OS Build 22621.4249, a number of users faced the inability to start the computer. The only solution that was of help for them is to uninstall the update from the recovery environment.
Sometimes, the bug makes Windows 11 to start into the BitLocker recover environment, especially after several failed recovery attempts.
Among the mentioned BSOD issues, users also report that the same update may prevent USB ports from working. As most modern peripheral devices connect via USB, this breaks them. Keyboards, mouses, and webcam stop working. The latter issue mainly affects N6005 and N5105 Intel NUCs, and Asus TUF / ROG laptops, and other gaming products from the same vendor.
If you are affected - then uninstall the buggy update:

Arch Linux has entered into a direct collaboration with Valve
Arch Linux has officially partnered with Valve, the creators of Steam and the Steam Deck. Valve chose Arch Linux for SteamOS 3, the Steam Deck's operating system, due to its efficiency and low resource requirements.
Now, Valve is providing backing for two critical Arch Linux projects: a build service infrastructure and a secure signing enclave.
Lead developer Levente Polyak mentioned that this support will enable Arch's development team to focus more on these key projects, rather than relying solely on volunteers, speeding up the resolution of some long-standing issues.

Mobile Retailers Urge Ban on Chinese Brands Over Anti-Competitive Practices
Mobile retailers in India, represented by the All India Mobile Retailers Association (AIMRA), are urging the government to ban Chinese-owned brands like iQOO, Poco, and OnePlus. They accuse these brands of engaging in anti-competitive practices by selling products exclusively on e-commerce platforms like Amazon, harming local retailers and causing financial losses to the government.
AIMRA, along with the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT), is pushing for stricter e-commerce regulations to ensure fair competition and protect traditional retail businesses. They also want to address issues like predatory pricing and tax evasion through policy changes.

OnePlus Gets Banned in Germany Once Again
In August 2022, a Munich court banned Oppo and OnePlus smartphones from being sold in Germany after they failed to reach a licensing deal with Nokia for its 4G and 5G technologies. The 2yr legal battle ended in January 2024, with Oppo signing a global patent licensing agreement with Nokia & OnePlus re-entering the German market.
Now after 9 months, OnePlus is once again banned in Germany over patent dispute with InterDigital, a firm that specializes in research & development for wireless technologies, especially critical 5G patents. It claims that OnePlus has infringed upon its 5G patents & as a result, German authorities have stepped in & banned the sale of OnePlus products in the country
Currently, the only items available on the OnePlus German online store are the OnePlus Pad 2 and the OnePlus Watch 2, devices that donβt have cellular support & thus remain unaffected by the ongoing legal issues.

After seeing Epic Games CEO β Tim Sweeney tweets, it should be the first time we're live witnessing a CEO going insane
Epic Games CEO claims that Find My feature is "super creepy and surveillance and should NOT exist" because when the CEO's Macbook got stolen by a kid from his car, now years after the incident, Apple still shows where the Macbook is currently located.
For this tweet, Tim Sweeney even got Community noted because acc. to him, Find My is actually illegal and finding your own device is tracking and surveillance ??? ππ
Now, Tim Sweeney has claimed that Apple's .DS store and Microsoft's System Volume Information are "essentially tracking malware". ππ
In reality, .DS store in MacOS stores metadata about how the folderβs contents should be displayed, such as Icon positions, Window size & layout preferences, file's sorting order etc. and Microsoft's System Volume information is used for system restore, indexing service, volume shadow copy etc

BREAKING: Xiaomi Plans To Stop Offering Bootloader Unlocking
Following a fake news last year related to shutting down bootloader unlocking to smartphones launched after May, 2024, now, even famous leakers are claiming that internally, Xiaomi has indeed made plans to shutdown the bootloader unlocking service for global users by the end of 2025.
For China, since the Bootloader unlocking period was over last month, it will again resume after Xiaomi 15 series global launch in 2025. Xiaomi already collects a lot of data to identify which user in China unlocked the bootloader but since that can't be done globally, Xiaomi might ultimately shut down the service for them.
If this happens, the following changes will take place on Earth:
β’ RIP Xiaomi federations
β’ People will think 1000 times before buying due to HypeOS
β’ Some users will finally understand that hardware-quality matters more that on-paper specs and cheap price
β’ NO Xiaomi buildbots

Breaking: the Judge in the Epic v Google case has just issued his final ruling, which states that Google must open up its Play Store catalog to 3P app stores and distribute those 3P app stores within Google Play.
The judge also ruled that Google can't require Google Play app billing, stop developers from telling users about other ways to pay, stop developers from linking to alternative distribution methods, and more.
These are HUGE changes, the implications of which will be massive to Google's Play Store business.
Highly recommend reading The Verge's coverage for the full breakdown!

No Threat Actor(s) have been attributed to the compromise. More information is available on their respective social media platforms. More information will probably become available in the following hours or days.
Unrelated to the defacement and compromise, Sn_darkmeta claims to have been DDoSing Internet Archive. They state they're DDoSing the website because the United States government supports Israel and The Internet Archive belongs (?) to the United States.

π¨π¨π¨SN_BLACKMETA is behind the attack on Internet Archive
The reason why they attacked Internet Archive is because acc to them, the Internet Archive is NOT a non-profit organization as it belongs to the US & they supports Israel. Thus they heavily attacked it for 5hrs continuously making the wayback machine down worldwide.
I can clearly see that the hackers are broke, mentally ill persons & needs a psychiatrist asap because their thinking is :-
" We (the world) are protesting & crying because they disabled a free service".
(Quite funny how hackers didn't know Internet Archive is a great way to preserve things for the future aka archive it.)
They also thinks that whole world is a fool because Gaza & Palestine are in wars with Israel & we are not supporting them or mourning for deaths either by wars".
We have never seen a DDoS group receive such vitrolic hatred. It's heartwarming as people from all across the planet, unite for ... hatred that hackers even disabled the comments now.
