You Can Ask AI Chatbots to Summarize News Stories—But They Will Be Wrong Are you trying to use AI chatbots to add a splash of efficiency to your daily perusal of the news? Well, you’ve already messed up. According to a study conducted by the BBC, a news organization that has som… #bbc #media #news

Android 16 débarque sur plus de 100 appareils grâce à LineageOS 23.0 : « Google nous complique la vie, mais on avance quand même »

L’âge d’or des ROM Android est mort, mais la communauté refuse d’abandonner

Android users, make sure you use a VPN you can trust. A fake Android VPN is spreading Klopatra banking trojan, giving attackers full control of your infected device.

A new Android spyware called ClayRat is luring potential victims by posing as popular apps and services like WhatsApp, Google Photos, TikTok, and YouTube.

A code execution vulnerability in the Unity game engine could be exploited to achieve code execution on Android and privilege escalation on Windows.

WhatsApp worm (SORVEPOTEL) deploys an infostealer that targets financial institutions and crypto exchanges in the Brazilian market www.trendmicro.com/en_us/resear...

#ESETresearch has identified two campaigns targeting Android users in the 🇦🇪. The campaigns, which are still ongoing, distribute previously undocumented spyware impersonating #Signal and #ToTok via deceptive websites. www.welivesecurity.com/en/eset-rese... 1/6

Van Halen wouldn't have fallen for it! "I showed GPT-5’s responses to a bunch of people, and more than half didn’t notice the 'Brown M&Ms'. This, I suspect, is what really explains why people perceive the effectiveness of LLMs so differently" codemanship.wordpress.com/2025/10/03/l...

Software engineering is evolving fast thanks to AI. At amo, we built a team dedicated to leveraging AI across our stack. Our experience so far is pretty clear. AI isn’t (yet) great at building features to our craft standards. 1/2

A new Android banking trojan has already infected more than 3,000 devices since its launch in late August. Most of the victims are located in Italy and Spain. The Klopatra trojan is an extremely advanced malware that appears to be the work of a Turkish-speaking group www.cleafy.com/cleafy-labs/...

Completed an interesting real life OSINT challenge the other day. Tracked the owner of a locked phone and car key I found on the ground and managed to return it. 💪

Not a very good week for Android security. And OneNote proves once again they can't be trusted with our data. www.rapid7.com/blog/post/cv...

Google has released the September 2025 security update for Android devices, addressing a total of 84 vulnerabilities, including two actively exploited flaws.

Zimperium found a critical flaw in an older version of the Android rooting tool, #KernelSU, that could allow a full device takeover. Update now if you use it! Read: hackread.com/kernelsu-and... #CyberSecurity #Vulnerability #Android #Security #Rooting

As many of you know, I wrote Modern Security in Android a couple of years ago. It's time for a well-deserved refresh It's time to talk about some new practices that you may want to follow It will be available at the same link this Sunday 👩🏻‍💻✨🥸🍊 medium.com/knowing-andr...

It doesn't know that cases it quotes in a lawyer's brief or a bibliography in a scientific paper are supposed to be real ones. Just like an image model knows to generate a reflection if you ask for a mirror, but has no understanding of the rules of physics to produce one that makes sense.

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers. The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

Compose 1.9 just hit beta01 & another exciting feature landing is a way to reliably determine if something is visible on screen & a way to get notified of visibility changes 📣 💅 New modifiers are entering the chat in this space: Modifier.onFirstVisible() & Modifier.onVisibilityChanged().

Google and Meta search both report that Cape Breton Island has its own time zone 12 minutes ahead of mainland Nova Scotia time because they are both drawing that information from a Beaverton article I wrote in 2024

Did you know there is a Unicode character to reverse the writing direction? Can lead to interesting attacks like: "file[U+202e]fdp.exe shown as fileexe.pdf" trojansource.codes/trojan-sourc...

Enum can do more than you know! They can have constructors, bodies, and methods. There is also the Enum type, which is a supertype of all enums. Let me explain it all briefly 👇🧵

Peter's principle applied to component architecture...

Have you ever heard about Extension-oriented design? That philosophy shaped the Kotlin standard library and most of the Kotlin libraries we use! It is simple but extremely powerful. Let me explain it briefly 👇🧵

✨ The lights are on, the crowd is buzzing – @kotlinconf.com is officially LIVE in Copenhagen! The keynote wrapped with major news, bold ideas, and a glimpse into Kotlin’s future. Read the blog post kotl.in/conf25unpacked – or follow this thread to unpack the highlights 👇🧵

Do you want to know how mocking libraries work under the hood? It is no magic 🪄 It is quite simple once you get the basic idea. Let me show you 👨‍🏫 🧵

Updates to MutableStateFlow should be made using the update function; otherwise, conflicts might cause some updates to be lost.

How does Jetpack Compose update your UI when state changes? The key component is the Recomposer. It observes, schedules, and applies changes to your Composables. Let’s learn how it works 🧵

Still good to understand what a data class is and what the compiler adds to it in order to use them properly. Seen a lot of "data classes" where the developers didn't really know why they used the "data" modifier.

It's fascinating watching developers discover they get better results using "A.I." if they prompt with tests, work in small steps, test continuously, review and refactor throughout, integrate often, and work in smaller teams, and attributing those results to autocomplete.

New blog post! In this post I explain some of the techniques used to eliminate unnecessary array bounds checks when writing Kotlin code. www.romainguy.dev/posts/2025/e...

Most people do not even think about cancellation, but it is extremely important, and both Android and backend developers benefit from Kotlin Coroutines cancellation mechanisms. Let me give you some examples. 👇🧵

Sets are great, but if you do the wrong things, they can start behaving very weirdly. For example, having duplicates. With this article, I'm trying to make their internal algorithm easier to understand, tell me what you think! ivan.canet.dev/blog/2025/05...

Compose can skip recomposing a lambda even if its parameters changed 😲 As long as the changed values aren’t used inside, of course 😆 It tracks reads during composition and it won’t invalidate what is not accessed. That’s a performance win.

Did you know we have a useful documentation page about improving Kotlin/Native compilation time? Be sure to check if your build configuration is following all the tips there! A simple cache setting might make a lot of difference. kotlinlang.org/docs/...

AI doesn’t eliminate technical debt. It actually multiplies it, faster than ever. The best devs today aren’t the ones who can write the most clever code, but the ones who know which code to trust, which abstraction to keep, and which AI suggestion to ignore 🧵

Pro tip I just found: In the GitHub file blame view, you can click on the little multi rectangle icon, and it'll take you to the version of the file right before that line changed. This allows you to quickly navigate through history to find when the change you care about was actually introduced.

"The problem with TDD is you end up writing twice as much code?" Isn't that also true if you write the tests after? "Well... Yeah. Okay. The problem with automating tests is you end up writing twice as much code." (1/2)

Android 16 finally adds official support for enabling certificate transparency within your apps 🎉🎉 Wondering what that is and why is that good news? Check out my latest blog post here: www.spght.dev/articles/21-... #AndroidDev
