Google to cut down battery capacity, charging speed of Pixel 6a: Here's why
Google is releasing a mandatory Android 16 update for all Pixel 6a phone users starting July 8 to reduce the risk of a potential battery overheating issue. The US technology company, in an update to the Pixel support page, revealed that the Pixel 6a smartphones that have been affected by a battery overheating issue will see a decrease in battery back-up and charging speed after this update. As per Google, the Pixel 6a phones that have completed at least 400 charge cycles will be eligible for this 'battery management feature.' Users who have yet to complete 400 charge cycles will not be affected by this, as the said feature will only get triggered after they cross this limit. Notably, users will get an alert when they complete 375 charge cycles that soon the battery management feature will be activated (automatically). Why is this being done? According to a PhoneArena report published on May 18, incidents were being reported of swollen batteries in Pixel 6a smartphones. It also stated that one Pixel 6a smartphone caught fire after the battery swelled. In general, swollen batteries indicate a serious issue, and they can lead to fire, explosion, or leakage of harmful chemicals. An immediate battery replacement is suggested in such scenarios. Following these incidents, Google has planned this move to safeguard its users. The Pixel support page read: 'Google has determined that certain Pixel 6a phones ('Impacted Devices') require a mandatory software update to reduce the risk of potential battery overheating, which could pose a risk to users.' The US technology company has, however, clarified that the changes that come with this Android 16 update will only activate if they have an 'impacted device' and once their phone's battery has completed 400 charge cycles. Users can check if their device has been impacted by a battery overheating issue by visiting the Pixel support page. What help is Google offering? Google is offering three options for assistance to Pixel 6a users in dealing with this issue. Firstly, the company is offering a no-cost imposed battery replacement—via in-person or mail-in repair—for eligible consumers who own the 'impacted device.' Additionally, if they are not eligible for the free battery replacement programme, then the Pixel support page also talks about a 'cash payment' or Google Store 'hardware discount credit' towards another Pixel phone. In simpler words, hardware discount credit refers to promotional credit offered by Google on their Store, which can be used to purchase other Google hardware products, like accessories or another Pixel phone. Notably, the in-person and mail-in free battery replacement for eligible Indian users will begin on July 21 and last till battery supplies last. Additionally, users will need to choose which support option they want to proceed with before the deadline of July 8, 2026, as these support options will cease to exist beyond that point.

Stealth app Catwatchful caught spying on thousands of phones, leak reveals emails, passwords and its own admin
A stealth app called Catwatchful has allegedly been caught in its own trap after a major security flaw exposed sensitive data of both its users and victims. The app, which disguises itself as a child-monitoring tool, has been silently stealing data from thousands of Android phones – including photos, messages, location details, and even live audio from microphones and cameras. But a newly discovered vulnerability has turned the tables. advertisementCanadian security researcher Eric Daigle found that Catwatchful's database was completely exposed online due to a misconfigured, unauthenticated API. This meant that anyone could access sensitive data, including the email addresses and plain-text passwords of over 62,000 customers, along with private phone data from more than 26,000 victims. The majority of affected devices were located in countries like India, Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Argentina, Ecuador, and Bolivia. The exposed data includes records stretching back as early as 2018. In a blog post, Daigle explained that Catwatchful operates by being manually installed on a victim's device by someone with physical access – often a romantic partner or family member – making it a form of stalkerware. Daigle's investigation also revealed that Catwatchful used Google Firebase to host stolen data, like users' photos and real-time audio recordings. Upon being alerted, Google said it had added Catwatchful to its Play Protect tool to warn Android users of the spyware. advertisementThe breach didn't just expose victims, it also revealed the identity of Catwatchful's operator. The developer behind the spyware was identified as Omar Soca Charcov, a software engineer residing in Uruguay, according to a report by TechCrunch. Charcov's details, including his personal email, phone number, and even the Firebase web address used to store stolen data, were found in the database. Charcov's LinkedIn profile used the same email address found in the spyware data, as per the report. He reportedly also linked his personal email account to the administrator account for Catwatchful, making it easy to trace him as the operator. Following the discovery, Daigle informed the hosting provider for Catwatchful's API, which briefly suspended the spyware's services. However, the API later returned via HostGator. Google is apparently reviewing whether Catwatchful violated its Firebase terms, but at the time of writing the story, the app's database remains online.- Ends

How OpenAI CEO Sam Altman went from calling Mark Zuckerberg's hiring "Exceptional" to slamming it as "Distasteful"
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is now blasting Meta 's aggressive talent poaching and $100 million signing bonuses, a dramatic reversal from 2016 when he praised Mark Zuckerberg 's hiring approach as "exceptional" during a YCombinator interview. The irony runs deep: Altman, who was then the President of YCombinator, told Zuckerberg that " Facebook has done exceptionally well is hiring" and called it "the thing you have to get good at" as a founder. Today, he's warning OpenAI employees that Meta is "acting in a way that feels somewhat distasteful" as the company raids his AI talent. In a fiery internal Slack message, Altman dismissed Meta's recruitment success, claiming they "didn't get their top people and had to go quite far down their list." He declared that "missionaries will beat mercenaries" while hinting at compensation adjustments across OpenAI's research organization. The battle intensified after Meta successfully recruited at least seven OpenAI researchers for its new superintelligence team, with packages reportedly reaching $300 million over four years. Altman revealed on his brother's podcast that Zuckerberg has been "making these giant offers to a lot of people on our team," including "$100 million signing bonuses, more than that compensation per year." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo When Altman praised Zuckerberg's hiring philosophy Mark Zuckerberg : How to Build the Future Back in 2016, Zuckerberg had explained his talent-over-experience philosophy to Altman, saying he invested in "people who we think are just really talented, even if they haven't done that thing before." The Facebook CEO emphasized creating internal growth opportunities, noting that of the company's 12 product groups, all leaders except one "did not join the company running a product group or reporting to me." Zuckerberg credited this approach with keeping "the best people engaged" and attracting top talent who saw advancement opportunities. Altman was clearly impressed, positioning hiring as the critical founder skill. Mission over money: Altman's current defense strategy Now Altman questions Meta's innovation DNA entirely: "There's many things I respect about Meta as a company, but I don't think they're a company that's great at innovation." He argues his employees see OpenAI as having a "much better shot actually, delivering on superintelligence and also may eventually be the more valuable company." The OpenAI chief attacked Meta's compensation-first strategy, claiming "the degree to which they are focusing on that and not the work and not the mission, I don't think that's going to set up a great culture." He emphasized that OpenAI "actually care about building AGI in a good way," while "other companies care more about this as an instrumental goal."
