Yeah, all this behaviour leads to is more annoyances for the people who do know what they're doing. People should really learn how the devices they use every day work, which includes stuff like the command prompt. Not necessarily how to use it, but at least what it is and what it can do.

You can turn those info cards, ads, and some other stuff off in the settings fyi

I think we're looking up at a drinks dispenser, one where you push your cup against the metal thing to start filling.

There’s no indication that any of the apps were available through Google Play.

So it's just users installing untrusted apps to their phone?

scour infected phones for text messages, contacts, and all stored images

They also can't do that without the user explicitly giving the app permission to do those things, unless they found an exploit or something, but the article doesn't say that.

Also, why would you have images with passwords in them on your phone anyway?

People really should know better nowadays than to do any of this shit. Every step here is preventable by the user just thinking about what they're really doing.

The package is called android-tools on Fedora, and probably some other distros as well.

I also don't have that particular device unfortunately.

I mean, if it's just cosmetic, you really didn't have to do anything, you chose to do that.

Yeah, I feel like most of the updates lately have been pretty boring. The last "big" change was material 3 I think, but even that was just some visual changes.

They still have the dessert names, they just don't use them in their marketing. This one is called vanilla ice cream, android 14 was upside down cake or something iirc, 13 was tiramisu.

10-12 don't seem to have dessert names for some reason though. Those were just q, r, and s.
