Samsung may have finally implemented seamless updates on their Android devices! When updating the new Galaxy A55 5G, users have noticed that the software update screen now shows a "downloading and installing" as well as "verification" steps.
In addition, TheMobileIndian reports that upon restarting their A55, they "did not encounter the One UI installation screen [recovery] that we see when we update other Samsung phones."

US sues Apple for illegal monopoly over smartphones
The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has sued Apple on the basis that the “iPhone ecosystem” is an illegal monopoly built at the expense of developers, rival phone makers, and Apple’s own customers. The lawsuit also cites Apple’s practices with Apple Watch, FaceTime, browsers, advertising, and news offerings.
Key points of the lawsuit include:
• Disrupting “super apps” that encompass “many different programs”
• Blocking cloud-streaming apps (which Apple has since reversed course on)
• “Suppressing” the quality of messaging between iPhone and other platforms such as Android
• Limiting the functionality of third-party smartwatches on iPhone and making it harder to switch from iPhone if you own an Apple Watch
• Blocking third-party tap-to-pay wallet apps on iPhone.

Multibooting Windows Vista with a newer version of Windows of UEFI!
Many people assume that Windows 8 was the first version of Windows to ship UEFI support. However, that is NOT true. Windows Vista RTM didn't have support for it, however, the first service pack update added support for class-2 UEFI. That's good and all, and it even works well... however... one small issue... you can't multi-boot it with another windows version! Yep, it even includes Windows 7! Although, you can multi-boot it with... say, Linux, but not another version of Windows. I've been searching around this for a year or so, recently, I found a solution to it!

Windows XP Aero: An XP mod by Lacie
XP Aero is a Windows mod that overhauls the entire XP interface. From the setup to the UI, it's a mod aimed to bring the Aero feel from Vista and 7 to XP, while still retaining the luna feel. It backports gadgets, it has Vista styled Windows Media Player, changes the setup, the explorer and what not!
As soon as you enter the out of box setup, you'll notice that the video has been changed. Moreover, you'll see that... well, the entire setup looks more beautiful! The mod utilises Segoe UI font. It has a sick boot animation, it has sidebar...it has a few new themes....oh my, it's quite a lot...
...But, there's even more. To make the base mod not seem bloaty, all the extras have been seperated into an ultimate extra like pack. It adds games like Microsoft Tinkerer, it adds new themes, it adds more things than the numbers my 1 IQ self can count.
It's a must-try mod that is definitely worth checking out.

Nintendo might not have to sue to shut down Switch emulators
GitLab just took down the Suyu emulator and disabled its developers' accounts after receiving a DMCA takedown request. It's unclear if Nintendo is behind this specific takedown.
GitLab didn't clarify if it typically disables accounts before users can address a DMCA issue. Its handbook doesn't detail reasons for account bans, only that it may happen in "appropriate circumstances". The Suyu project seems determined to continue, with the code already cloned elsewhere.
L, Nintendo.

Truth Social is going public
Shareholders of Digital World Acquisition Corporation approved the long-awaited merger with Truth Social, boosting former President Donald Trump's potential net worth by $3 billion. As a result, DWAC shareholders will transition to Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), the parent company of Truth Social, set to trade on Nasdaq under DJT.
Trump, with nearly 79 million shares, stands to gain cash, although a lock-up provision hinders immediate liquidation or collateralization of shares for six months, despite potential board waiver. DWAC stock plummeted by 12% post-merger announcement, reflecting Truth Social's financial struggles, with $49 million in losses during the first nine months of 2023.

Google kills off nearby places from its dialer

It was something that could help people search local businesses or small stores nearby... that is, when it worked.

Nvidia’s AI chip dominance is being targeted by Google, Intel, and Arm
A group formed by Intel, Google, Arm, Qualcomm, Samsung, and other tech companies is developing an open-source software suite that prevents AI developers from being locked into Nvidia’s proprietary tech, allowing their code to run on any machine and with any chip.
The group, called The Unified Acceleration Foundation (UXL), told that technical details for the project should reach a “mature” state by the second half of this year.
While UXL says the project will initially aim to open up options for AI apps and high-performance computing applications, the group plans to eventually support Nvidia’s hardware and code, too.

Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference returns June 10, 2024
Apple has announced that it will host its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) online from June 10 through 14, 2024.
Reports suggest Apple may be developing its own generative AI models or partnering with companies like Google, OpenAI or Baidu in this area. There's even a possibility Apple might open its ecosystem to allow for wider AI integration by developers.
In addition to the focus on AI, WWDC is likely to feature the usual software updates for Apple devices. This could include long-awaited features like customizable app placement on iPhones and updates to existing apps like Freeform. There are also rumors of new AirPods models, including a more affordable option and a noise-canceling upgrade. While AI may be a highlight, WWDC is still expected to deliver a range of improvements across Apple's software offerings.
