Fairphone software devs hit back against GrapheneOS security claims

What's next for Murena, though? Well, the company confirmed that it will be making some improvements:
Murena is taking security issues seriously, and our policy about integration of security patches in /e/OS is very comparable to or even better in some cases than many of mobile OS vendors in the smartphone industry.
However, as part of our ongoing efforts to continuously improve we have decided to reduce the integration time of monthly security updates in /e/OS. Therefore we'll progressively update our build infrastructure to allow the roll-out of latest security updates following the days after they have been released.
Murena will continue to deploy urgent /e/OS builds for 0-day security fixes

More AI is coming to Samsung phones, but from unexpected places

Samsung was one of the first smartphone makers to go all-in with AI, thanks to the Galaxy AI stack. The Galaxy flagships didn't only ship the usual Gemini features, but also delivered their own unique AI experiences with tools like Now Bar, Now Brief, and Interpreter, among others. The company has no plans of stopping there. On the contrary, Samsung is eyeing deals with more AI companies to serve their AI tools atop Galaxy smartphones — at the cost of stealing some spotlight away from Google's Gemini. According to a report by Bloomberg, Perplexity and ChatGPT-maker OpenAI are two of those potential candidates. Why does this matter? 'We are talking to multiple vendors. As long as these AI agents are competitive and can provide the best user experiences, we are open to any AI agent out there,' Won-joon Choi, Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Samsung's MX Business, was quoted as saying. The shift is pretty interesting and something that is going to worry Google for multiple reasons. Recommended Videos As part of the Justice Department's antitrust case, it was reported that Google was paying an 'enormous' sum to Samsung. The fee was paid as a revenue share for onboarding paid subscribers, and also on a monthly basis for each Galaxy device that came pre-installed with the Gemini app. Interestingly, Samsung was also approached by other companies with similar offers, a list that includes names such as Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI. How soon Samsung phones integrate AI products from other companies remains to be seen, but it would certainly be a big blow to Google. Over the past few years, Google executives have appeared on the launch stage for flagship Samsung devices. Moreover, as recently as its I/O event in May, Google heavily showcased Samsung's phones to reveal its upcoming Android and AI features. Samsung's status as the biggest name in the smartphone world is definitely a key part of the equation here. What's next for Google and Gemini? Google's Pixel phones are the best showcase of what AI (read: Gemini) can accomplish on a phone. But Google's smartphones are nowhere near as popular in terms of market reception and sales volumes are Samsung's Galaxy phones. That's why finding a prominent place for Gemini on Galaxy phones was such a big deal. But the challenge has already started right in the Android ecosystem. Perplexity, which offers a product that aims to compete with Google Search and Gemini, inked a deal with Nothing last year to offer its Pro subscription for free. Earlier this year, another deal with Motorola ensured that Perplexity would come pre-installed on Motorola devices. The company has also revealed that its AI-focused browser called Comet will soon land on Apple and Android smartphones. Perplexity was also rumored to be on Apple's potential list of partners as the company struggles to push Siri in the same league as ChatGPT and Gemini. As a stopgap solution, Apple inked a deal with OpenAI that allows Siri to seamlessly work with ChatGPT for advanced queries. With Samsung also exploring rival AI products for Galaxy smartphones, it would be interesting to see how aggressive Google gets at pushing Gemini on mobile devices.

Can a $1,000 Investment in Cardano Turn Into $10,000 by 2030?

Key Points Cardano could benefit significantly from a crypto bull market. There are also reasons to believe that it won't gain as much as its rivals will. The biggest open question is how the chain will attract new capital. 10 stocks we like better than Cardano › Investors love to have a good 10-bagger story to tell their friends, but the market rarely hands them out on cue. Still, crypto has a way of helping hope to spring eternal. In that vein, could it be the case that Cardano (CRYPTO: ADA) could turn a modest $1,000 stake into $10,000 by 2030? Let's see how the ledger stacks up. Could the numbers add up here? Today, Cardano changes hands near $0.89, giving the network a market cap of about $31 billion. To increase 10-fold, the token would need to trade at about $8.90, implying a market cap of roughly $310 billion. That kind of leap would demand not only stellar execution from the chain's developers, but also the market to enthusiastically appreciate Cardano's fundamentals as well as its project ecosystem. And, in all likelihood, a move of that size would also require a very favorable macro environment for at least a few quarters. Let's vet each of those factors, starting with the chain's ecosystem and fundamentals. As of right now, Cardano's entire decentralized finance (DeFi) footprint holds just $375 million of total value locked (TVL). For reference, the leading DeFi chain, Ethereum, has a DeFi TVL of more than $82 billion. So Cardano would need a 100-fold surge in on-chain activity just to get into the most distant bleachers of the ballpark of today's leader. The chain's slow throughput, gas (user) fees, and latency aren't doing the coin any favors either. Cardano's protocol produces a block roughly every 20 seconds, processing about 18 transactions per second (TPS) at its theoretical max throughput, making transactions a bit faster than Ethereum on average; its fees are usually (but not always) also somewhat cheaper. In contrast, Solana can theoretically clear 65,000 transactions per second, and it routinely closes blocks in 400 milliseconds with fees of less than a quarter of a cent. Cardano's TPS may one day improve via its Layer-2 (L2) chain called Hydra, but right now Cardano processes only a few hundred TPS on the main chain, and its L2 is barely used. The chain's fees scale awkwardly, too. The network charges a fixed fee, plus an additional scaling fee based on how many bytes of data a transaction requires. At today's price that's about $0.12 for a typical token transfer. But if the coin ever reached $8.90, the cost of a plain vanilla payment would soar to unacceptably high levels, which would hardly be competitive in a world of near-free settlement elsewhere. In short, the economic engine that would have to propel a 10-fold move by 2030 is currently outclassed by faster, cheaper, and bigger rivals that don't face the same scaling constraints. Strategic drift and growing headwinds Investors also have to weigh Cardano's sense of direction to determine if it has 10-bagger potential. On this front, the picture isn't great either. In mid-June, founder Charles Hoskinson proposed swapping roughly $100 million worth of the coin from the on-chain treasury into Bitcoin and stablecoins to create a sovereign wealth fund of sorts for the chain. The market read that as a tacit admission that alternative assets might serve the ecosystem better than its own coin. The more significant issue is that the chain does not truly excel in any one category or capability such that it could capture a significant portion of a growth segment. Thus with little traction on the technical front, minimal DeFi uptake, and little to no competitive advantage to speak of, the odds of Cardano growing by a factor of 10 in the next five years are not great, though it's mathematically possible. It's also true that crazier things have happened in crypto in the past. On the other hand, the market environment looks favorable for it to go on a big run despite its disadvantages, purely on the basis of strong positive sentiment in the crypto sector and a macro setup that's skewing quickly toward higher liquidity and a frothy market. But in such a scenario, investors would still probably be better off betting on one of the faster horses. Do the experts think Cardano is a buy right now?
