Apple called Android a "massive tracking device"

According to the documents disclosed by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) from the ongoing Google antitrust trial, Apple called Android a “massive tracking device.” in an internal presentation

The presentation was made in 2013 & was emailed from Eddy Cue to CEO Tim Cook.
It is noscriptd “Competing on Privacy" & dove into how Apple’s competitors handled privacy & user data.

Apple combines data only when it elevates the user experience. Meanwhile, Google combines data across services, without any reason.

IRONICALLY, despite Apple describing Android as a massive tracking device, an internal Google email from 2016 shows that Apple wanted data sharing with Google to be reciprocal
Apple wanted to know:
• Which links were clicked on
• How long it took to satisfy a user's query

In the email, Google told Apple they don’t share information about what users click on in Google Search.
However, Google did had a data exchange proposal

Honestly, ALL smartphones track you, be it Android or iOS.
Privacy is just a MYTH

Interesting Hardware details about Google Pixel 8 series

Samsung announced ISOCELL S5KGNK sensor, offering 50MP resolution & 1/1.3-inch sensor size.

Pixel 8 series is the FIRST device to use this sensor.

It features staggered HDR technology, collaborating with 3 distinct ISO modes delivering images with a dynamic range of up to 102dB.
The Smart-ISO Pro, operating on a single-frame basis minimizes motion artifacts, resulting in images with impressive color depth of up to 14-bit.

In low-light, it combines neighboring pixels to form larger 2.4μm pixels.
In bright lighting, the on-chip "remosaic technology" maximizes the benefit of Tetrapixel

It also features Dual Pixel Pro Autofocus and allows for 8K video recording at 30fps

Pixel 8 series is also the FIRST device to use the Samsung E7 AMOLED LTPO display

Regular Pixel 8 uses displays from both BOE & Samsung while the Pixel 8 Pro uses Samsung E7 Display only

You may have seen articles about how the Flipper Zero can be used to easily spam iOS, Windows, and Android devices with bogus Bluetooth device connection requests, which in the case of iOS 17, can crash them. Here's how to protect your Android device from these spam attacks.

Many outlets are telling users to disable Nearby Share on Android to block these spam attacks, but that's the wrong setting to disable. Instead, you need to go to Settings --> Google --> Devices & sharing --> Devices and turn off "Scan for nearby devices". Above is a graphic that shows these steps.

This is the setting that controls the Google Fast Pair Service (GFPS), or Fast Pair for short, which is Google's Bluetooth device pairing request feature these DoS attacks are spamming.

Fortunately, Fast Pair seems to have some built-in protection against this kind of attack. According to mobile-hacker, Fast Pair seems to ignore excessive pairing requests. Thus, it may not be necessary to disable this feature, so only do this if you really want to be safe.

Note: Some OEMs have their own Fast Pair-like implementations that need to be disabled separately to mitigate this kind of attack. It may not be possible to disable these without turning off Bluetooth entirely, though.

The Pixel 8 series are the first Android handsets that allow you to enable ARM's MTE (Memory Tagging Extension), a feature of Arm v9 CPUs that helps protect against memory safety bugs by providing detailed information about memory violations. This feature can help developers more easily discover memory safety issues in their applications.

Like the Tensor G3, MediaTek's new Dimensity 9300 also supports MTE, and it can even be switched on or off in the bootloader. Tensor G3 integrates support for MTE only within Android's developer-facing toggle. Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 does not support MTE.

MTE can be enabled on compatible devices running Android 14 by going to Settings > System > Developer options > Memory Tagging Extension.

Do note that MTE is disabled by default because it's highly likely you'll encounter issues with apps crashing or failing to run correctly. There shouldn't be any "noticeable performance issues", though, according to Google's Mark Brand writing for the Project Zero blog.

Google's Sanitizer Test App (available on Google Play) can be used to check whether MTE has been enabled in the bootloader.

With shell commands, you can configure the MTE mode (async, sync, asymmetric), but note that certain system processes (like system_server, NFC, SE, Bluetooth) are excluded. Chromium doesn't support MTE yet, either.

Nothing Condom incoming ? 👀

Carl Pei on Twitter announced that " Something 'naughty' coming next week"

Nothing smartphone was recently released in July. Nothing Ear (3) is slated to launch in January 2024
Cheap CMF products have already been launched

Carl Pei even made Nothing Beer (5.1%) for European countries and Nothing Uniform for its employees.

If Nothing can even sell a beer and the next product is naughty, this could mean Nothing Condom (1) will be released

You guys are smart enough to guess what features Condom (1) will pack if it comes out next week.
Well, who knows if Carl Pei even adds glyph lighting in this condom too?

If it's not the condom (1), then what other naughty product is Carl Pei teasing?

RIP Omegle

Omegle, the popular online chat website that let users chat, talk, interact with strangers anonymously, has shut down after 14 years(2009~2023)

The anonymous online chat service did not require users to register to chat, which might be one of the reasons why the service gained massive popularity.

Omegle even had an increase in usage during the COVID-19 pandemic
However, the online chat service often found itself in hot waters, with users often complaining about pedophilia, racism, abuse and sexism

RIP Omegle. You will be remembered 🙏🏻
