Development is now taking place behind closed doors, with the code dropped after the corresponding version has been released to Pixel devices… As the developers of CalyxOS, a popular de-Googled Android ROM, dove into the Android 16, they realised something very important was missing: the device-specific source code for modern <a href="https://mato.social/tags/Pixeldevices" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pixeldevices</span></a>."</p><p><a href="https://www.osnews.com/story/142553/rumour-google-intends-to-discontinue-the-android-open-source-project/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">osnews.com/story/142553/rumour</span><span class="invisible">-google-intends-to-discontinue-the-android-open-source-project/</span></a></p>

CISA stuck to that pattern with the guidance it issued to people high enough in government or politics to draw the attention of Chinese state-sponsored hackers who have burrowed deeply into U.S. telecom infrastructure–guidance that included the seemingly counter-intuitive advice not to use a VPN for privacy protection because that only transfers the privacy risk from your current sources of connectivity to a single company. I think CISA’s right about that, certainly in the context of most PCMag readers. And in my own case: My major use case for VPNs these days is to evade geoblocking restrictions, like when I’m <a href="https://robpegoraro.com/2018/07/14/another-part-of-the-world-where-i-need-to-use-a-vpn/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">trying to read GDPR-incompliant U.S. news sites</a> from somewhere in the EU.</p><p><span></span></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robpegoraro.com/tag/android-16/" target="_blank">#Android16</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robpegoraro.com/tag/brendan-carr/" target="_blank">#BrendanCarr</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robpegoraro.com/tag/china-hacks/" target="_blank">#ChinaHacks</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robpegoraro.com/tag/chinese-hacking/" target="_blank">#ChineseHacking</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robpegoraro.com/tag/cisa/" target="_blank">#CISA</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robpegoraro.com/tag/cybersecurity/" target="_blank">#cybersecurity</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robpegoraro.com/tag/encrypted-messaging/" target="_blank">#encryptedMessaging</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robpegoraro.com/tag/fcc/" target="_blank">#FCC</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robpegoraro.com/tag/infosec/" target="_blank">#infosec</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robpegoraro.com/tag/salt-typhoon/" target="_blank">#SaltTyphoon</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robpegoraro.com/tag/vpn/" target="_blank">#VPN</a></p>
