This is the forced update for the pixel 4a for those who didn't understand the context of the post yet
Google dual sourced battery for the Pixel 4a for cost cutting. The ATL battery models 4a are unaffected and going good as usual.
However, with the Lishen battery model, Google is quite serious with the 4a to avoid a class action lawsuit.

Security researcher DuchyRE highlighted something interesting about DeepSeek AI.
If you ask about the Terrorist Attacks on September 11th, 2001 in the United States, DeepSeek will answer it. Furthermore, DeepSeek will provide criticism of the United States government (Image 1, Image 2)
If you ask DeepSeek about Tianamen Square in China in 1989, DeepSeek says it cannot answer that question. Additionally, DeepSeek is unable to produce any criticism of the Chinese government. (Image 3)

The situation is NOT good. (post summarized by ChatGPT)
Hector Martin discusses a controversial forced update for Google Pixel 4a that appears to significantly reduce battery capacity. The update introduces a new kernel, but it was built on an engineer’s personal machine rather than the proper build system, violating GPL rules and showing signs of a rushed implementation.
Critically, the update lowers the maximum charge voltage from 4.44V to 3.95V, which directly impacts battery performance. This change only affects Lishen (LSN) batteries, while Sunwoda (ATL) batteries remain unaffected. A new “debug” battery profile cuts capacity in half (3080mAh → 1539mAh), suggesting deliberate throttling.
Users can check their battery type by looking at the number next to the QR code—8230015901 indicates ATL (good), while 8230020501 is LSN (bad).

Temporarily Free Games

Alan Wake Remastered [Xbox]
1. Grab the free trial of Alan Wake 2 https://xbox.com/games/store/a/9PNZH065X7PV
2. Alan Wake Remastered should then appear as 100% off "Because of a recent purchase on Xbox" https://xbox.com/games/store/a/9NKB1B50PZLZ
3. If you get asked for payment info, you should be able to hit back and try again. I wasn't asked for payment info so idk.
I don't have an Xbox so I can't test if the game actually installs. This is definitely a bug so no idea how long it'll last and whether the licenses will be revoked later.

XiaomiTime (formerly called Xiaomiui) website Twitter account is also compromised and the person behind the scenes is now sharing malicious files through their twitter account.
Please be careful Xiaomi users and don't install any apk blindly as its normal for the community to cope over unlocking the bootloader faster and then suffer later.

25 year old Rhiannon Evans of Wales, the United Kingdom, has been sentenced for a short stinted cyber harassment campaign which consisted of her farting into her cell phone camera.
As a result of an on-going child custody conflict, Ms. Evans began sending Deborah Prytherech videos of herself farting into her phone camera.
From December 22nd, 2024 - January 1st, 2025, Ms. Evans continued to send videos of herself farting into her cell phone camera, subsequently turning the camera toward her face, and smiling, to Deborah Prytherech several times a day.
Deborah Prytherech went to the police. Local authorities found the messages indecent or grossly offensive.
Representatives of Ms. Evans state Ms. Evans had been under the influence of alcohol and did not intend to cause distress to Deborah Prytherech. Court officials disagreed and asserted Ms. Evans smiling following each fart was sufficient to prove malicious intent.
Ms. Evans has been sentenced to:
- £100 in compensation to the victim
- £199 in court costs
- Abstain from alcohol for two months
- Complete 15 rehabilitation sessions
- A two-year restraining order prohibiting contact with Deborah Prytherech
