The xz backdoor was initially caught by a software engineer at Microsoft. He noticed 500ms lag and thought something was suspicious.
This is the Silver Back Gorilla of nerds. The internet final boss.

BREAKING: Apple Sued Xiaomi in China
Apple has filed a lawsuit against Xiaomi in China.
The lawsuit, filed in a federal court, accuses Xiaomi of lying to its consumers about the technology it uses in their smartphones
1. FAKE ISP chips:
Xiaomi claims that its flagship smartphones like the Xiaomi 12S Ultra & Xiaomi 14 Ultra use Xiaomi Surge ISP chips
However, Apple has found out that it is NOT any ISP chip and is just a post-processing chip
Xiaomi uses Qualcomm SoC's ISP only but markets it as an ISP to increase its sales & thus lying to its customers
2. NO USB Certification
Apple claims that Xiaomi USB-C chargers and USB-C ports are NOT USB-certified
They are just PD/PPS compatible
Apple also asserts that Xiaomi's custom user interface closely resembles iOS, with SAME iconography, gestures & overall user experience.
Apple has also accused Xiaomi of infringing on patented technologies related to camera enhancements & facial recognition systems
The entire complaint spans 69 pages

Google agrees to destroy browsing data collected in Incognito mode
The proposed settlement in Brown v. Google will mandate greater disclosure from the company about how it collects information in Incognito mode and put limits on future data collection. If approved by a California federal judge, the settlement could apply to 136 million Google users. The 2020 lawsuit was brought by Google account holders who accused the company of illegally tracking their behavior through the private browsing feature.
The proposal is valued at $5 billion, according to Monday’s court filing, calculated by determining the value of data Google has stored and would be forced to destroy and the data it would be prevented from collecting. Google would need to address data collected in private browsing mode in December 2023 and earlier. Any data that is not outright deleted must be de-identified.

Pleased to settle this lawsuit, which we always believed was meritless. We never associate data with users when they use Incognito mode. We are happy to delete old technical data that was never associated with an individual and was never used for any form of personalization.

Android 15 will bring a Redesigned Status Bar with New icons and Haptics
Source
Apart from a revamped volume panel, Android 15 will also bring a revamped status bar with new icons
The charging chip that appears when you plug your device in to charge is also being updated, as shown in the clip above
Also, the status bar icon for the battery will show the current battery level inside the icon as opposed to on the right of the icon.
If you don’t like the battery level, you can turn it OFF as well
In addition to these new icons, Android 15 may also add a bit of haptic feedback to the Quick Settings panel when doing a long press on a QS tile such as Bluetooth while its getting expanded
Android 15 will also add some haptic feedback to the volume slider that appears when you press either volume key.
