They've been claiming since 2023 that sideloading has been a favored attack vector. "The Global Scam Report also found that scams were most often initiated by sending scam links via various messaging platforms to get…
Googles total revenue in 2025 was about $400 billion across their entire company. It's hard to estimate how much money scammers steal in general but if you take an estimate[1] that each of the 300,000 forced laborers…
So we should just accept that all apps must treat android notifications as a compromised communication channel? The scammers will find some other way to abuse the very generous permissions allowed by an android app if…
No. Their stated implementations should be also privacy preserving as they are using on-device LLM models. Not sending your calls or texts to a datacenter.
I am quite genuinely curious what you think the best solution to prevent someone instructing a tech illiterate person over the phone to click through every permission warning about a malicious app they're installing is?…
I understand usually the megacorporation is simply being anti-consumer with these kinds of changes, and who knows maybe this is the same. But I think this might be an actual exception. They seem to be actually…
None of the comments here seem to discuss or even mention how this situation looks from googles perspective? I feel like HN readers are not aware of the scale of the problem they face or their motivation behind these…

I think you could do foveated rendering efficiently with rasterization if you "simply" render twice at 2 different resolutions. A low resolution render over the entire FOV, and a higher resolution render in the fovea…

As a new comer to JS frameworks Svelte 5 convinced me to use Vue instead. I think Svelte has a nicer template syntax and the reactivity is cleaner is some cases, but it feels like there's no "best practice" or…
You can do bevel with 2 if you accept intersections, which will always occur unless you ensure a minimum distance between points equal to the width of the line. https://i.imgur.com/1vWoAGV.png In my context the line…
