Google will help you locate your lost or stolen smartphone EVEN if its turned OFF
Source
Apple's Find my Device feature helps you locate any lost or stolen iPhone, iPad, Mac, or AirTag even if its turned off.
Google is also working on similar thing building a huge network of all Android devices including support to Galaxy Tag or upcoming Google's Tracker 'grogu' or G Spot
The feature will be called Pixel Power-Off Finder atleast on Google Pixels and hardware compatibility will be needed because the Bluetooth chip needs to be active even when the phone is turned off.
The Pixel 8 will support this feature, but its unclear with Pixel 6 and 7 series devices
A new Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) definition called "hardware.google.bluetooth.power_off_finder" appeared in the Android 14 source code. Acc to code comments, Finder Network keys will be loaded onto the device's Bluetooth chip, which will remain on even when the phone is turned off.

Realme Narzo N55
Realme TechLife is REBRANDED as Narzo.
Realme is claiming its their "Next Generation Innovation".
I wonder which brand does Innovation in a 'budget' device ?
Realme made a webpage of Narzo N55 and priced it at ₹999,999 and saying not available for sale.
But what's the point of it ???
This smartphone will have 4/6/8GB RAM options with 33W charging

Google Pay users in US were getting unexpectedly Free Money
Many Google Pay USA users on reddit reported that Google was giving out unexpectedly high cashback rewards in their rewards section.
One user got $100 in 6 different cashback rewards. And many users were getting 30$ or more on average.
The reason for cashback reads rewards for "dogfooding the Google pay remittance experience".
Dogfooding means use of a newly developed product or service by a company's staff to test it before it is made available to customers. But NONE of users were Google Employees
Some Users contacted Google INSTEAD of using that free money and Google told them they are resolving the issue.
So after 2 days Google ended up taking back all their FREE money
Those who used it up or transferred it in banks can keep it and enjoy, but many users who who did not used it, Google took it back
Whats the point of contacting Google when they giving Free money to you? just use and enjoy

Apple released iOS/iPadOS 16.4.1 and macOS 13.3.1 Fixing 2 HIGH Vulnerabilities
I do not post changelog of devices but this post is because its related to dangerous vulnerabilities which has been fixed, thats why apple released iOS 16.4.1 so fast
2 separate vulnerabilities have been actively exploited in the wild and apple knows about it
1) IOSurfaceAccelerator vulnerability: This could allow an app to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges.
2) WebKit vulnerability: This can allow maliciously crafted web content to execute code.
Apple fixed it with improved memory management
These SEVERE vulnerabilities were found and reported by Google's Threat Analysis Group and Amnesty International's Security Lab

Sony is developing PlayStation Handleheld like PSP
Source
PlayStation Handelheld is in development and is codenamed as 'Q Lite' but the catch is, PlayStation 5 is required.
It will look similar to PlayStation controllers BUT the handleheld will have huge 8-inch Full HD+ LDC Touchscreen.
The device will be able to stream PS5 games, but requires internet connection
The Handleheld will feature adaptive triggers, speakers, volume buttons and a 3.5mm audio jack.
The screen will support 1080p resolution at 60fps.
Sony will launch it after the upcoming PS5 with a detachable disc drive in September and before the PlayStation 5 Pro announcement in late 2024.

Here is Oppo Find X6 Pro prototype which was leaked earlier
So camera module looks different compared to what was launched by Oppo in Find X6 Pro and same pic was leaked as well earlier which indicated this will be design of the smartphone
Why Oppo does this?
They do this to prevent their upcoming smartphone images to be leaked before launch
Oppo intentionally creates fake prototypes and distribute it to some employees
So they ended up creating different motherboard and camera module for this fake prototype
So that the fake one gets leaked instead of planned product unlike Google
For eg Pixel Tablet and Pixel 7a ended up on eBay for sale months before launch
Thats why Oppo Find X6 Pro Renders DID NOT appeared too.
Same thing Xiaomi does too with their flagships for eg No real pics Mi 12S Ultra popped up months before launch

Toilet helps Thieves stole 500,000$ worth of iPhones from Apple Store
Source
An Apple Store at the Alderwood Mall was burgled recently.
The 2 thieves infiltrated the location through the bathroom of a nearby coffee shop because it was next door to the backroom of Apple Store
So by digging a hole in Toilet wall, it helped them bypass Apple security system.
Thieves stole 436 iPhones from Apple store which are worth 500,000$ (~ 4 Crore INR)
No Apple employee was present at that time because the mall was closed at night.
Thieves did not steal anything from coffee shop but it will cost 1500$ to coffee shop owners for repairs of locks and walls

NONE Realme Devices support HDR on any OTT Platforms
Realme support clarified the company don't know how to add HDR content support for Netflix, Prime, HBO, Disney + Hotstar etc.
Only YouTube and local videos files support it
So, You are paying 400$ for a flagship Realme device which have HDR 10+ certification but you cannot stream HDR content on OTT platforms to watch movies/ series
Whereas Redmi midrangers supports HDR content on all OTT platforms including Netflix.
They just promote their devices are HDR 10+ certified. NEITHER your favourite Youtube Reviewers tells you the truth

Find My iPhone's Bug is Sending Strangers to One Specific House
Source
Schuster, A homeowner in Richmond said people keep knocking on his door claiming he stole their lost items because of a bug in the "Find My iPhone" app.
Most of the people who show up are visibly upset or frustrated and even threatened him that they will call the police.
He thinks it happens because his house was a model home for his neighborhood when it was first built. Subsequently, Apple Maps have assigned every home in the neighborhood to a single shared address which is — his house
No matter where a phone is within the area, Find my iPhone using Apple Maps will show his house only
The guy has already reached out to Apple support, called/ messaged them, and filed a formal report which Apple closed and has never been resolved
Now he is considering filing a lawsuit against Apple
