www.androidauthority.com The Play Store could soon save you from downloading crappy apps (APK Teardown)

The Play Store hosts millions of apps, and it looks like Google is working on a way to warn users about potentially low-quality apps.

At Least They Pay Well

Another shameless theft of title and meme, unknown source. To add a personal touch: my bro just started a job with an insurance company where they talked him up about all the cutting edge work they're doing in AI, ML and statistical analysis. Yeah, it's just a bunch of Python scripts calling out to web services. They should have just said they're looking for a (possibly backend) developer.

www.androidauthority.com Here's how Android 15 blocks thieves from bypassing factory reset protection

Factory reset protection is getting several key upgrades in Android 15 to make it harder to bypass.

Here's how Android 15 blocks thieves from bypassing factory reset protection

This article goes into more detail about how these new measures will actually work compared to the blog post earlier this year from Google. Namely:

  1. Enabling the OEM unlocking setting will no longer prevent FRP from activating.
  2. Bypassing the setup wizard will no longer deactivate FRP. FRP restrictions will apply until you verify ownership of the device by signing in.
  3. Adding a new Google account is blocked.
  4. Setting a lock screen PIN or password is blocked.
  5. Installing new apps is blocked.

I wish for servers at restaurants to always bring my tea or water with lemon already included, without me having to ask for it separately.

Save a few words. Make life easier. How can this possibly go wrong?

Ahead of Android 15's launch, Android 14 is on at least 13% of active devices

Article refrains from drawing conclusions, instead presenting the data. Android is doing better at moving users to newer versions, but the overwhelming majority of users don't have the current Android OS version nor the previous version, combined.

www.androidauthority.com Pixel Satellite SOS is coming, but it won’t be free for long (APK teardown)

Google is working on satellite connectivity for Pixel devices through the Pixel Satellite SOS feature, and it could be free for only a while.

Pixel Satellite SOS is coming, but it won’t be free for long (APK teardown)

Bullet points stolen from the linked article:

  • Code suggests the satellite connectivity feature on Pixel devices could be called “Pixel Satellite SOS.”
  • We’ve also found a clue suggesting that the feature will be offered for free for two years, which would match Apple’s current offer on the iPhone 14 and 15 series.

Cellebrite's tools can't crack iPhones running iOS 17.4 or newer; most Android devices vulnerable

I want to share this post because I was disappointed to see this popular smartphone cracking tool works very well across Android versions and devices while iPhone enjoys relative security.

The graphic also shows premium devices specifically are vulnerable to their tools, so one cannot argue that the problem is funding or cheap devices getting owned because of dumb changes by the vendor -- premium devices fare not much better. Even Google controlling the hardware and the software of their Pixel line remains vulnerable to data extraction while the latest iPhone versions aren’t.

To me, this sounds like the state of Android physical security might be inferior. Why? What can be done to fix this? Perhaps is it because Android is more popular globally so they get more work targeting Android?

It could also be coincidental that at the time the documents leaked, the iPhone stuff was being finished up and there is actually not that much difference if you have an attacker who has lots of time and money.

EDIT: Removed wrong information. EDIT: Added more material for discussion.

Pony on Fediverse Canvas 2024

So much pony on the canvas! Where are all you guys and gals coming from? MLP has always seemed fairly quiet on the fediverse, but the proof is in the pudding, apparently!
