Android (in Canary branch) now supports graphical Linux applications via an updated Linux Terminal feature. This tool runs a Debian GNU/Linux 12 virtual machine using the Android Virtualization Framework (based on KVM and crosvm). Users can launch a GUI session via a new "Display" button in the terminal, which activates graphics redirection in the Android environment.

The system launches the Weston compositor to provide a minimal window session, allowing execution of GUI-based Linux programs such as Gedit, the default editor app in Gnome. X11 applications run through the XWayland component, and the setup supports hardware-accelerated graphics using VirGL for virtual GPU performance.

Apple x Samsung is Real

Apple started promoting Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 in China.

Apple support in China accidentally posted a promotion video of Galaxy Z Flip 7 featuring Galaxy AI while promoting their own App Store. It was later taken down but still hilarious to promote Samsung foldables when Samsung often mocks Apple for not launching a foldable yet.

Spotify will eventually delete accounts of people in the UK unless they complete age verification.

Google ordered to pay $12,500 to policeman after Street View camera caught him naked

An Argentine captured naked in his yard by a Google Street View camera has been awarded compensation by a court after his bare behind was splashed over the internet for all to see.

The poliecman was standing naked in the backyard of his home in Argentina when a Google camera mounted on a vehicle photographed him in 2015. The camera managed to captured his buttocks and back, and the photo viral after local television station published it as part of a special news segment on the peculiarities behind Google Street View in the city of 45,000 residents.

The cop eventually learned of the image while watching a news program and filed a lawsuit against Google Argentina in 2017. The officer claimed he was ridiculed by his neighbors and that he would only leave his home to work.

'In the app, when the front of the house is displayed, the street numbers are easily readable,' the judges said in their opinion. 'Moving the cursor allows you to zoom in and out from the street, allowing you to see inside the house and even make out a front yard/garden behind the fence. It is clear that in this case it was not his face that was visible, but his entire naked body, an image that should also have been avoided.'

Google Argentina was instructed to eliminate the photograph from its Street View and faces a fine of $78 for each day that it fails to do so. Cablevisión SA and El Censor SRL, who were also sued for publishing the photos on television, cleared by the court of any wrongdoing.

Xiaomi Service Centers in China have now installed isolation glass to prevent Xiaomi users from running away after snatching their own devices.

That's because Xiaomi temporarily unlocks the bootloader when they are being asked to downgrade the firmware, so just run away before they relock it back
