First look at the Google Pixel 9a
Source

Google Pixel 9a real images have been leaked, and they comes directly from the factory itself i.e Compal from Vietnam. Pixel smartphones real images coming from the factory directly, leaked by the workers is one of the major reasons for Google switching to India for manufacturing of its pixel smartphones, ditching Compal in Vietnam soon

Google Pixel 9 series comes with the Tensor G4 with Exynos 5400 modem which even features satellite connectivity. Initial reviews of the Pixel 9 series were very well received with almost all reviewers/users claiming that all the modem issues related to network and heating have been fixed with the new modem. Disappointingly, Pixel 9a is 'expected' to come with the Pixel 7 series modem i.e the older Exynos Modem 5300

This Pixel 9a is a prototype unit as visible from the logo and will feature dual rear cameras & metal frame as usual. There are chances that 9a can debut this year only or in early 2025

📱 Telegram abides by EU laws, including the Digital Services Act — its moderation is within industry standards and constantly improving.

🛩 Telegram's CEO Pavel Durov has nothing to hide and travels frequently in Europe.

🫤 It is absurd to claim that a platform or its owner are responsible for abuse of that platform.

🌐 Almost a billion users globally use Telegram as means of communication and as a source of vital information.

👍 We’re awaiting a prompt resolution of this situation. Telegram is with you all.

Telegram CEO and Founder, Parel Durov Arrested by French Authorities
Reuters

Telegram CEO Pavel Durov is reportedly in custody after being arrested near Paris Saturday evening as he was departing his private jet.

French authorities believe that the platform’s lack of moderation has “allowed criminal activity to go on undeterred on the messaging app.” Durov will go before a judge tonight and could be indicted as early as today, Sunday.

Durov founded Telegram with his brother in 2013. He left Russia in 2014 after refusing to comply with Russian government demands to shut down opposition communities on his VKontakte social media platform, which he sold. "I would rather be free than to take orders from anyone," Durov told U.S. journalist in April about his exit from Russia.

Russia began blocking Telegram in 2018 after the app refused to comply with a court order to grant state security services access to its users' encrypted messages.

Samsung Display Developing OLED Without Polarizer

At the IMID 2024 (International Meeting on Information Display), Samsung Display announced that it is developing OLED display for smartphones without polarizer film that will usher in the era of frugal panels whose power consumption is less than half of current phone screens' battery draw. A display with 50% smaller power draw will thus result in a significant boost in battery life.

The Samsung Display department VP, said that "Low power consumption that does not require charging for at least a day, vivid image quality that cannot be distinguished from reality, and large-screen yet portable design are essential conditions for AI-era displays."

OneUI 7 will be really really smooth

As per famous tipster Ice Universe, Samsung OneUI 7 will be really really smooth and will have improved animation with reduced shutter. You can see in the videos above where the upcoming OneUI performs as smooth as iOS 18 and when comparing to current OneUI 6.1.1, the stutters in the animation are no longer there

The drawback of iOS18 animations is that when the second app keeps stopping and opening, the unfinished animation of the first app goes right back to its original position and but the OneUI 7 behaves more naturally.
Samsung will ship OneUI 7 first beta based on Android 15 in September

TL;DR: Krutrim Cloud: Free for Developers, but What Actually Works?

Krutrim Cloud has provided free credits, ₹10000, till Diwali. Only Language Translation/Interpretation and a few models actually work. Their "krutrim/Krutrim-spectre-v2" model is essentially GPT-3, which also gives incorrect information and hallucinates as well. Their Language translation service, however, works fine, which has only a few languages and uses their own "Krutrim-Translate" model.

Finally, their Compute service for virtual machines through VMs has been nothing but a mess. They give ₹10,000 in free credits, but the VMs are just stuck at "In Progress". (Confirmed with @TejasXD and @Raveen2k3). Now (at the time of writing this post), no VMs except Bare Metal GPU VMs are available to create. (Confirmed with @ardwivedi16)

To summarise, Krutrim's own model feels more like a rebranded GPT-3 than an AI made in India. Their Compute service is already wrong on so many levels making it hard to ascertain what value they offer.

No hate intended. This is my own experience and I apologise if I posted some incorrect information.

What will Happen to Mozilla Firefox?

Google has been declared monopolistic in the search and advertising markets. The US Justice and states had sued Google, accusing it of illegally cementing its dominance, in part, by paying other companies, like Apple and Samsung, billions of dollars a year to have Google automatically handle search queries on their smartphones and web browsers.

Since the US federal court ruled in favour of states, thus, the DoJ is planning to break Google apart by taking measures to even separate Chrome and Android & the DoJ may also consider forcing Google to sell their AdWords Platform.

However, Google's deal with Mozilla Firefox makes up 81% of their revenue. According to the Mozilla Foundation's 2021–2022 financial statement, which is the most recent one published, $510 million out of its $593 million in revenue came courtesy of Google's search payments.
So if Google STOPS paying Mozilla, will the Firefox survive?

After Green lines issues, OnePlus devices especially 10 Pro, 9 Pro and 9RT users have reported a critical issue with the motherboard, causing it to crash suddenly and then RIP. It started happening after August or July updates were pushed to their smartphones

OnePlus service centre is demanding Rs. 42,000 (~500$) for OnePlus 10 Pro 5G  Rs. 27,000 (~350$) incase of 9 Pro to repair their motherboards. Many users shared that after downloading a software update, the phone kept beeping and froze. For some users, the device would lag and then heat up before shutting down completely while for others it stopped responding randomly and just crashed.

A user's 9 pro started displaying "battery error" message and after few days, it started showing some random texts, sometimes a CRASHDUMP mode or other, a random page full of technical stuff. OnePlus, however, said that they failed to fix the issue with software replacement & battery replacement and then in the exact same words claimed — "NOTHING CAN BE DONE TO YOUR DEVICE.

After the Telegram's CEO and Founder Pavel Durov arrest by French authorities over concerns of drug trafficking and failing to prevent criminal activities on the app, now the Indian Government is also investigating Telegram over extortion, gambling and cheating scams concerns.

In recent years, Telegram and some other social media platforms have emerged as breeding grounds for criminal activities, including scams that have cost citizens crores of rupees. The encrypted messaging app Telegram was in the news recently over the UGC-NEET paper leak, a medical entrance exam in India, which led to student protests and forced the Supreme Court to intervene. The paper was being sold for b/w Rs 5,000 ~ Rs 10,000 (~125$) on the platform
Depending on the findings of this probe, Telegram could even face a BAN in the country.

Happy 33rd Birthday, Linux! 🎉

Today is August 25th, which means that Linux turns 33 years old! 💃

On August 25th, 1991, Linus Benedict Torvalds, then a 21-year-old Finnish student, made an announcement on the comp.os.minix newsgroup. He mentioned that he was working on a free operating system for 386(486) AT clones—just as a "hobby," which turned into something huge, used by millions of computer users around the globe.

Hello everybody out there using minix –
I’m doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won’t be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been brewing since april, and is starting to get ready. I’d like any feedback on things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat (same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical reasons) among other things).
I’ve currently ported bash(1.08) and gcc(1.40), and things seem to work. This implies that I’ll get something practical within a few months, and I’d like to know what features most people would want. Any suggestions are welcome, but I won’t promise I’ll implement them
Linus
PS. Yes – it’s free of any minix code, and it has a multi-threaded fs. It is NOT portable (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably never will support anything other than AT-harddisks, as that’s all I have
:-(.

Google rolls out 16 KB page size supported kernel for Pixel 8 series with Android 15 QPR1 Beta 1

Till now, Android has been “built and optimized to run with a 4 KB page size.” But by adding support for a 16 KB page size resulted in “overall performance boost of 5-10%,” though at the expense of ~9% additional memory usage including:

• 3.16% Lower app launch times while the system is under memory pressure
• 30% more significant improvements for some apps
• Reduced power draw during app launch by 4.56%
• Faster camera launch with 4.48% faster hot starts & 6.60% faster cold starts
• Improved system boot time by 1.5%

With Android 15, Google has refactored the OS “from the ground up to support running at different page sizes, thus making it page-size agnostic.” Developers have to recompile their apps for 16 KB page size devices, but the “same application binary can run on both 4 KB and 16 KB devices.”

The 16 KB page size supported kernel is already available in Android 15 QPR1 Beta 1 for the Pixel 8 series. However, this requires an unlocked bootloader AND wiping your entire userdata partition unless it's already formatted in EXT4. That's because, EXT4 block size must be <= of the system page size, while with F2FS, it must be equal. F2FS must have a matching block size and disk block size, and otherwise would require you to wipe each time you toggle the settings, unfeasible for development.

Samsung Teases Innovative Stretchable Smartphone Display

Samsung has developed a micro LED display that can stretch like rubber. Samsung's stretchable display is based on micro LED technology and has a 25% elongation characteristic. In other words, this incredible micro LED display can be stretched up to 1.25 times or twisted like a rubber, and it will return to its original shape

As seen in the video above, Samsung demonstrated this technology by transforming the stretchable display (roughly) into the shape of Jeju Island, where IMID 2024 (International Meeting on Information Display) takes place.

Samsung says it has the highest resolution compared to all other stretchable screens & this micro LED panel has a pixel density of 120 PPI (pixels per inch).

These advanced display technologies could have applications in niche fields, for example in the field of medicine, Samsung research team demonstrates stretchable OLED display on a heart rate monitor

The most important thing you thought you knew about Qi2 is wrong: Qi2 charging doesn't mean magnetic charging!

Today I learned that there are products that support Qi2 wireless charging but which DON'T have magnets. You likely thought magnetic charging was a requirement of Qi2, but that's definitely not the case!

According to the Wireless Power Consortium, while most registered products certified to the Qi2 spec include magnets, some do not. These non-magnetic Qi2 products may use other methods for aligning chargers and receivers that differ from Qi2 products with magnets.

To differentiate between magnetic (Qi v2.0 MPP) and non-magnetic (Qi v2.0 EPP) products, the WPC requires a different logo and specific verbiage to be included on the package: “This product is built using the latest Qi2 standard but may not include all available Qi2 features."

The WPC actually mentioned this fact in a press release back in November, though they said at the time that Qi v2.0 EPP products will use the old Qi logo; sometime after, they changed the requirement for Qi v2.0 EPP products to use the new logo shown above instead.

From my digging through the WPC database, the vast majority of Qi2 products support MPP, though there are some that do not. Keep an eye out, and don't assume that Qi2 support = magnetic charging/MagSafe compatible!

USA Considers Breaking Up Google

A federal judge ruled in favour of US's Department of Justice (DoJ) that Google violated US antitrust law by maintaining a monopoly in the search and advertising markets. The judge's decision was historic, as it was the first time an American company was found guilty by an American court in the past 40 years.

Thus, acc to Bloomberg, the DoJ plans to separate Android and Chrome from Google, and maybe forcing Google to sell AdWords platform. These are the worst propositions discussed, but there are less severe measures to prevent Google from gaining a monopoly, including forcing the company to share more data with competitors and measures to prevent it from gaining an unfair advantage in AI products & abusing its position.

The US authorities tried something similar with Microsoft two decades ago and failed, and now time will tell if it will succeed in pushing Google to divest Chrome, Android, and AdWords, its most lucrative businesses.
