Winamp source code released online but with a catch

The iconic Winamp media player, launched in 1997 by Nullsoft, gained massive popularity while coinciding with the rise of MP3s music files. After Nullsoft's acquisition by AOL, its development slowed & in 2013, Winamp was discontinued. In 2014, new owner Radionomy took over the project intending to resume development. However, it failed to bring Winamp to its former glory & now after three decades, its source-code along with build tools, and associated libraries for the Windows app has been released on GitHub.

The kicker is that executables and changes to the code cannot be published. So the promise of “open source” has vanished. They have created their own license, the “Winamp Collaborative License (WCL) Version 1.0” :-

No Distribution of Modified Versions whether in source or binary form.
Cannot distribute a forked version.
Only the maintainers of the official repo are allowed to distribute.

Samsung Galaxy Buds FE Explosion Causes Permanent Hearing Loss 😢

A Turkish user has suffered permanent hearing loss after Samsung's Galaxy Buds FE suddenly exploded while in use. The earbuds were fresh out of the box, had 36% battery, and had not been charged even once since recently purchased by the user alongside Galaxy S23 Ultra.

The user claimed that the earbuds exploded while being used by his girlfriend, causing immediate and irreversible damage to her hearing. Following the explosion, the user took it to Samsung service center. After a two-day investigation, Samsung reportedly concluded that the buds had simply "deformed" rather than exploded. The service centre offered a replacement of the same model with a “take it or leave it” attitude & he is free to pursue legal action.

The user claims to have all necessary documentation, including the invoice, before-and-after photos of the device, and medical records linking his hearing loss to the explosion.

Funfact: Making cows wear VR headsets increases milk yields by 22%

In some countries, for example in Russia, farmers put VR headsets on their cows during winters because when it snows, the ground gets covered and thus cows cannot graze on green fields which stresses them out and decreases their milk yields.

The VR headsets show them beautiful green fields landscapes, relaxing the cows. This method ended up increasing the milk production by 22% in winters

Apple Pulls Back iPadOS 18 Update for M4 iPad Pro After Bricking Complaints

Users have reported on Reddit that iPadOS 18 update for their M4 powered iPad Pro bricked their devices. In some cases, a total replacement was required for affected users. Not all M4 ‌iPad Pro‌ owners have had an issue installing the update, and it could be linked to installing the new iOS 17.7 update before installing iOS 18.

Thus, for now, Apple has pulled back the update of iPadOS 18 that was released yesterday only. So, the new software is no longer available to be downloaded and installed at the current time on the M4 iPad pro

Samsung, Xiaomi, OnePlus, Motorola, Vivo and Realme found guilty of colluding with Amazon and Flipkart in India

The CCI's 1,027-page report on Amazon said the Indian units of 5 companies - Samsung, Xiaomi, Motorola, Realme and OnePlus - were "involved in the practice of exclusive" phone launches in "collusion" with Amazon and its affiliates, breaking competition law. In Flipkart's case, a 1,696-page CCI report said the Indian units of Samsung, Xiaomi, Motorola, Vivo, Lenovo and Realme conducted similar practices.

The major issue with these "exclusive launches" is that retailers offered the big players preference, prioritization of certain listings, and steep discounts, all of which hurt other retailers

All 5 companies have been ordered to submit their financial statements for three fiscal years to 2024, certified by their auditor, to the CCI, according to an internal CCI document dated Aug. 28 as seen by Reuters.

Chinese content creator Zhu Zhu and her animator friend Dupp collaborated to create the world's first glasses-free naked-eye 3D effect video displayed on a smartphone, using the Huawei Mate XT, the world's first tri-fold phone!

Zhu Zhu shared that she had predicted the tri-fold phone’s potential to deliver this glasses-free 3D effect before its release, though many were skeptical. After the phone’s launch, she contacted a director friend and worked to produce a custom Naked-Eye 3D video for the Mate XT, proving her prediction right.

The blogger’s success in achieving this effect has opened up new possibilities, sparking discussions about developing a dedicated app for Huawei’s triple-fold phone that could offer various 3D effects like virtual aquariums or space exploration.

Telegram to Share User Information with Law Enforcement

Durov has announced that Telegram will now share the IP addresses and phone numbers of users who violate its policies with law enforcement in response to valid legal requests.

Crazy Thursday.

- Dr. Web, the Russian antivirus company, disclosed a breach. Dr. Web stopped sending antivirus updates September 16th. Subsequently, Dr. Web reportedly disconnected their servers from their internal network while they investigated the suspected compromise. Dr. Web reports to have resolved the issue and has returned to normal day-to-day operations. No Threat Actor has been attributed to the compromise. They believe the compromise occurred on or around September 14th.

- Yesterday, or sometime before, GitHub users were targeted in mass by a large scale phishing and/or malware campaign. An unknown Threat Actor(s) pushed their Lumma Stealer campaign by leaving bogus issues on GitHub projects. When the project owner visited the issue, the issue linked to a domain titled 'GitHub-Scanner'. GitHub-Scanner requested the visitor prove their humanity (e.g. not a robot) by doing Windows + R and CTRL + V + ENTER. When the site is visited, the website copies malicious code to the users clipboard. Windows + R, opening Windows Run, and CTRL + V, pasting the malicious code to the Run window and ENTER would run the code, this would trick the user into executing their malware payload. Once the payload is executed, it downloads a file called 'IE6.exe'. IE6.exe is Lumma information stealer. While it is a clever trick, the Threat Actor(s) (intentionally, or unintentionally) did not account for users who are not running Windows. This caused confusion for non-Windows users, or users on mobile devices.

OnePlus 12 motherboard fails, company does not have spare parts

A OnePlus loyalist bought a OnePlus 12 in Delhi & after just 4 weeks, the display failed. OnePlus service center claimed that the motherboard needs to be changed.

The user even purchased an extended warranty worth Rs.6,000 (~70$) but what's the point of it when OnePlus does NOT have the motherboard component for its latest smartphone available in India? OnePlus does NOT know when the motherboard will arrive, nor is it providing a free replacement unit.

Acc. to the user, "Within a month OnePlus 12 crashed a few times. Then, just randomly while using the phone, it crashed. The screen became this. Also, the touch isn't calibrated well."
Another OnePlus 12 user reported: "When I turned on my OnePlus 12, the phone froze completely. NO touch, NO input was working. I waited for a while & the phone began working again. The same happened to his OnePlus 10 pro & eventually its motherboard RIP"
