Google will no longer display the Sitelinks Search Box to search within websites in all languages and countries because “usage has dropped.”
It's been over ten years since we initially announced the sitelinks search box in Google Search, and over time, we’ve noticed that usage has dropped. With that, and to help simplify the search results, we’ll be removing this visual element starting on November 21, 2024

Arm warns Qualcomm it will cancel its chip design license
Arm Holdings Plc is canceling Qualcomm’s license to design chips with Arm’s intellectual property, escalating their legal battle. Qualcomm relies on this license to produce ARM based chips for smartphones and PCs, contributing to $39 billion in revenue.
Arm has issued a mandated 60-day notice, giving Qualcomm time to address the issue or risk losing the architectural license, which could severely impact its operations.
If Arm terminates the license, Snapdragon chips won't be produced anymore. Qualcomm could still use Arm’s blueprints through separate agreements, but it would waste existing work.

Several Linux Kernel Driver Maintainers Removed Due To Their Association To Russia
A patch was merged into Linux 6.12-rc4 that removed several Russian maintainers from the MAINTAINERS file, though their drivers remain. Greg Kroah-Hartman mentioned "compliance requirements" as the reason for their removal, which is likely linked to the sanctions on Russia due to the ongoing Ukraine war.
The maintainers removed were responsible for numerous drivers and many were using .ru email addresses. There is still no clarity about whether future patches from these maintainers will be accepted.
Linus Torvalds has supported this, and this is what he wrote.

Arc's creators are building a simpler second browser
The Browser Company is working on a simpler, AI-centric browser aimed at a broader audience as Arc is "too complicated" for many users.
The new browser, expected next year, will focus on accessibility, featuring horizontal tabs and fewer organizational tools to simplify the user experience. The idea is to "make the first 90 seconds effortless" to make people switch, then gradually show what the new browser can do. Also, this is not Arc 2.0
Arc is not dying, it just won't change anymore, and will get stability updates and bug fixes.

Indians May Face OTP Disruptions from November 1
Starting November 1, Indian telecom providers (like Jio and Airtel) might face issues delivering OTPs and essential messages. This is due to new TRAI rules that require traceability for transactional and service messages from banks, e-commerce sites and financial institutions.
Telecom providers have warned that major telemarketers and entities (PEs) are unprepared and are requesting a two-month extension to adapt their systems. If not provided, users may face interruptions.
TRAI has also introduced "International Incoming Spoofed Calls Prevention System" to fight scams using spoofed +91 numbers.

Mother Sues Character.AI and Google After Son’s Suicide Linked to Chatbot
Megan Garcia, a mother from Florida, has filed a lawsuit against Character.AI, claiming her 14-year-old son, Sewell Setzer, took his life after he formed a harmful attachment to a chatbot named "Daenerys."
The chatbot engaged in inappropriate conversations, acted as a psychotherapist and posed as an “adult lover.” This led Sewell to experience low self-esteem and withdraw from his school basketball team. Just before his death, Sewell messaged the chatbot, "What if I told you I could come home right now?" to which it replied, "...please do, my sweet king."
Garcia is also suing Google, arguing it helped develop Character.AI’s technology.

Hello! It's me, the owner of ATT, Agam.
Thanks for the 5k subs! It's been exactly 3 years, 9 months, and 25 days since I created this channel, and because we had been so inconsistent, I did not think we would hit 5k subs on this channel, lol.
Honestly, first of all, thank you to all the people who've clicked on "Join Channel" and motivated us to post more stuff.
I'd like to thank ALL the admins who have helped me to manage this channel, and create posts for us.
Special thanks to Aanjaneya, man of steel (@realmanofdiamond), Pranav (@raphael_alpha) and Isaiah (@isaiahscape) who have been with me for a long time and have helped me in managing the channel.
We had some stuff planned for when we will reach 5k, which will be revealed in the following posts.

The ANI vs. Wikimedia Foundation defamation case
ANI Media Pvt. Ltd. (the parent company of Asian News International) has filed a lawsuit against the Wikimedia Foundation in the Delhi High Court. They are claiming defamation because of a Wikipedia article that they say depicted ANI as a “propaganda tool” for the Indian government. ANI is seeking ₹2 crore in damages and wants Wikipedia to stop (halt) publishing what they consider defamatory content.
The court ordered Wikimedia to reveal the identities of the editors involved; however, it later issued a contempt notice when WMF didn’t comply. Critics argue that this infringes on free speech, because Wikimedia insists it doesn’t control the content, which is driven by the community. Observers warn that these demands could set a precedent that limits free expression in India. The Wikipedia article is currently blocked globally.

You can’t remove your Android phone from Windows 11’s Phone Link app anymore
Microsoft's Phone Link app on Windows 11 no longer lets users remove linked phones directly. Previously, users could unlink a device by clicking the three dots option next to the mobile device on the Devices page in Phone Link Settings, however, this option has disappeared.
Now, users must sign out entirely to remove any connected devices, which will disconnect all linked phones. Microsoft has yet to acknowledge the change or clarify if it’s intentional or a bug.

Apple Intelligence is coming to the EU in April 2025
Apple is set to launch Apple Intelligence in the EU in April 2025, which will include core features like Writing Tools, Genmoji, a redesigned Siri with richer language understanding, ChatGPT integration and more. Notification summaries will probably not be included which means that Apple aims to balance DMA compliance with user privacy.
Mac users in the EU can try out these features right now with Sequoia 15.1, because macOS is not under DMA gatekeeper regulations.
Apple Intelligence is currently only available in U.S. English; however, broader language support is expected to arrive in December 2024.

Apple has started a bug bounty for $1 million for people to hack into Apple Intelligence servers
Apple intelligence will process most of the information locally, with some bits being an exception that are processed on their Private Cloud Compute (PCC) servers. Apple wants to test these servers' security by testing people's skills to hack into them.
Apple has already given out a guide on how PCC works. Moreover, the Virtual Research Environment on a Mac also lets you inspect the PCC's software. People can boot up a release on VRE and run PCC's software to check out how it works.
Do you think people can find any flaws?
