Google had a multi-year plan to migrate the AOSP build system completely over to Bazel, but this project was cancelled late last year.
In a statement to OEMs last year, Google said "in a recent review of our progress, we concluded that the conversion to Bazel would take a lot more time than originally anticipated. After carefully considering our options, we decided to stop working on transitioning Android’s build system to Bazel, and instead focus on improving the existing system."
At one point, I'm told, Google even aimed to migrate all Make and Soong build files to bazel by Android 16 W. But that obviously won't happen anymore.

Pakistan says it blocked social media platform X over ‘national security’
Users had reported problems using the platform, formerly known as Twitter, since mid-February, when jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s party called for protests against a government official’s admission of vote manipulation.

On Wednesday, the Ministry of Interior mentioned the shutdown in a written court submission.
It is very pertinent to mention here that the failure of Twitter/X to adhere to the lawful directives of the government of Pakistan and address concerns regarding the misuse of its platform necessitated the imposition of a ban.
The decision to impose a ban on Twitter/X in Pakistan was made in the interest of upholding national security, maintaining public order, and preserving the integrity of our nation

Apple pulls WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal and Threads from China app store after Beijing order
Apple said that it has removed WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal and Threads from its App Store in China after being ordered to do so by the Chinese government, which cited national security concerns.
The removal of the four apps suggests growing intolerance on the part of China's central government towards at least some foreign online messaging services that fall outside of its control. It also signals less leeway for Apple in China.
Residents of China seeking unfiltered news, who can sometimes access it using foreign messaging apps through VPNs, now have a lot fewer choices.

Google Wallet launches in India, with local integrations, but Pay will stay
Google Wallet has finally launched in India. It is rolling out in batches, so not everyone can install it now.
Google will continue to run Google Pay as a stand-alone app in the country, at least for now.

Some truth about Win32/Win32ss' legacy software corporation and Supermium.
I've personally been praising Win32 and his work. I appreciate the effort the guy has put in things like Vista's extended kernel and Supermium, but this is just unhealthy.
The entire LSC (Legacy Software Corporation) has declared war on LuminaFox, a Firefox backport till Windows XP. Why? Because if it happens, then they won't be able to make Superfox. Now, not liking a thing is fine, but engaging in a war just because you have competition? That's something else.
Moreover, to add to this, the LSC has also paywalled many aspects of open-source software, as visible in Supermium.... and now they're defaming Luminafox just because it's a competition... *sigh*.
Honestly, fighting with competition just because it doesn't allow you to make a project is fucked up.

Google now offers "Warranty Helper" to check your warranty policy easily
Earlier, users had to manually enter the device’s serial number or IMEI. But now, instead of having to know it by looking physically on the device, finding the packaging, or diving into Settings, Google will automatically list the devices associated with your Google Account.
Once you confirm your email address with the Warranty Helper, you can easily select the specific Pixel device you want to check the warranty status for. You'll see details like the warranty start and expiration dates, along with the return policy.

Nintendo Eyeing To Enter the Indian Market
Nintendo has never launched its consoles officially in India.
One of the reasons that Nintendo did not choose to enter the Indian market is likely due to high taxed imposed on video games and consoles.
Also, Nintendo is not a “fan of India’s BIS rules which they fear could reveal their factories.”
Now its been reported that Nintendo has been “eyeing India again.”
Recently, Nintendo employees visited key Indian markets like Mumbai .
However, NO deal has been finalised between Nintendo and any distributor in India.
Nintendo Switch 2 is scheduled to release in 2025 now instead of 2024 previously
