✨ And... one more thing! Or two, perhaps...

1️⃣ Both the 11 Pro and the Pro XL, as well as the 11 Pro Fold, won't feature a thermometer (RIP 🥀). Instead, all of them will spot an RGB LED array in the camera bar — somewhat similar to Nothing's Glyph, but smaller.
2️⃣ Despite previous claims, Project Toscana (IR Face Unlock) likely won't debut on the P26 lineup, as it's simply still not ready for release.

P.S: The attached image is AI Generated, but it resembles the actual look of the Pixel 11 Pro's back cover

Do you think Google cooked with this one? Or is it below your expectations?

Let us know down below!

Here's the thing no one wants to tell you about AI:

1. It's the worlds largest Python script
2. It runs on Linux, Windows Defender slows it down
3. It uses lots of numbers (nobody knows why)
4. It requires a bunch of GPUs (for gaming)
5. No, you can't have sex with it

Microsoft Edge loads all your saved passwords into memory in cleartext, even when you are not using them

In the video, the attacker has compromised a user account with administrative rights and is able to view stored credentials for two other logged-on (or even disconnected) users with Edge running.

When you save passwords in Edge, the browser decrypts every credential at startup and keeps them resident in process memory. This happens even if you never visit a site that uses those credentials. At the same time, Edge requires you to re-authenticate before showing those same passwords in the Password Manager UI, yet the browser process already has them all in plaintext.

In contrast, Chrome decrypts credentials only when needed and uses App-Bound Encryption to prevent other processes from reusing its keys. This ensures plaintext passwords appear only briefly during autofill, making memory scraping far less effective.

The researcher reported this to Microsoft, and the official response was that the behavior is "by design". He will soon release a simple & educational tool on GitHub to help people easily see that the passwords are stored in cleartext in memory.

Your Phone Number can easily be leaked on Telegram due to this default setting

If you hide your number from your Telegram profile, it can still be obtained. You may ask, how? This is because of how Contact Discovery works on any messaging app (including WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, etc.).

If I save a random number on my phone that turns out to be yours, Telegram will automatically link the number to your profile. This is exploited by attackers, by saving thousands of numbers in the phone's contacts (with a .vcf file for a lot of numbers), and then syncing them in Telegram. If the contacts list contains your number, it'll be linked to your profile, and will be exposed.

This is how some people's numbers get leaked on Telegram as this option is set to "Everybody" by default.

If you want to prevent this, change "Who can find me by my number" to "My Contacts" in Privacy settings. This way, your number won't be linked to your profile as long as you don't have the attacker's number saved.

The team behind Windows Terminal and PowerToys unveiled a rebuilt version of the Run dialog for Windows 11, developed from scratch with user feedback guiding the design. The interface adopts Fluent Design, aligns with Windows 11, and includes dark theme support.

Developers prioritized performance, reducing average window appearance time to 94 milliseconds, achieved through cross-team collaboration, UI and architectural optimizations. The tool navigates local and network locations rapidly, and users still access it via the Win + R shortcut.

Engineers added telemetry to the legacy dialog to measure rendering times and feature usage, finding the classic window averaged 103 milliseconds, only 0.0038 percent of 35 million users clicked the Browse button, and some users paste text into Run to clear formatting.

PowerToys Run prototypes and the CmdPal project inspired development, and CmdPal contributions now power the new dialog, which is a C# WinUI 3 application compiled with .NET AOT. The dialog supports ~\ (hello Linux users) to open the home folder, and the history drop-down displays application icons.

Google Teases Liquid Glass inspired design coming with the next Material You Design language MD4 in Android

So will it be just light reflections like how Oppo did or simply transparent gradients lol

Xiaomi HyperOS 4: Monkey See, Monkey Hyper!

While Google, Samsung and other Chinese smartphone brands stayed away from adding a liquid glass mess to keep the user experience clean, Xiaomi will prove that they have NO ideas without Apple. They are the only company brave enough to steal the design everyone else hated except Huawei.

Your regular public service reminder that "WinUI 2" is now referred to as "WinUI for UWP" and "WinUI 3" is now simply "WinUI".

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER
