    War: Google going to fully closed Android ecosystem by August
    • Android OS developers announced the transition to a new format of applications and games in the summer of 2021. The official Google blog warns about replacing the usual software extension APK with AAB.

      The Android App Bundle (AAB) was introduced back in 2018 and it is this format that software developers have gradually switched to. The essence of the innovation is that now Google itself is engaged in the optimization of various versions of the application, "packing" them into a container. The user will not be able to manually install the AAB file itself on the smartphone, as was the case with the usual APK files. This will increase the security of applications, but also negatively affect the "openness" of the Android platform.

      Google has planned to completely switch its Google Play app store to AAB format in August. It is said that users will benefit in the amount of software that will take 15-20 percent less memory on the device.

    Mordor: COVID vaccination will repeat each 6 months
    • Yesterday, the guidelines came out "The procedure for vaccinating the adult population against COVID-19", according to which vaccination against coronavirus infection should be carried out without taking into account the data of humoral immunity, that is, vaccinations are shown regardless of the presence of antibodies.

      In the document, this decision is justified by the fact that “the currently available test systems for determining cellular immunity cannot be used in wide circulation due to the lack of reliable data on the interpretation of research results (duration of protection, its severity) and the degree of resistance of the immune system to response on the mutation of the virus. "

      There will be two types of vaccinations. The first is emergency vaccination, which is now announced in Russia, the second type is routine vaccination, which will be carried out in case of a favorable situation with coronavirus infection. What is the difference? In case of routine vaccination, everyone is revaccinated 9–12 months after the illness or vaccination, and in case of emergency - after 6 months. Now we are talking about the fact that regardless of the presence of antibodies and their quantity, everyone should be vaccinated, and revaccination is carried out six months later.

    War: Apple aims to tighten their anti leak system
    • The American company Apple has "declared war" on the media, designers and network informers. The Cupertino-based manufacturer does not like the fact that images and characteristics of products that have not yet been posted are appearing on the Internet.

      Apple even took the first step in this direction by suing Jermain Smith, a famous designer who works under the nickname Concept Creator. The reason was the publication of many realistic images of Apple products prior to their announcement. The reason for going to court is “allegedly stolen information”, on the basis of which the designer created the images of the accessory. Apple claims such renders harm the company.

      The next step of the manufacturer from the United States in the fight against leaks will be the issuance of video recorders to employees. It is proposed that the "police-grade" body cameras will have to be worn by Apple employees, who have access to information about new devices and the gadgets themselves.

    Chutzpah: New kind of attacks that are impossible to debunk
    • US intelligence believes Russia is behind the acoustic and directed energy attacks. The Washington Post writes about this with reference to unnamed representatives of the US intelligence community.

      The newspaper recalled several cases of acoustic attacks on American diplomats, including incidents in Cuba. "Following reports of similar incidents in China, Russia and even the United States, US intelligence officials now claim that Russia is responsible for attacks that may employ microwaves or other forms of directed energy."

      Politico, citing knowledgeable sources, reported that the US authorities suspect that the Russian GRU may be behind the alleged "directed energy" attacks against US diplomats and intelligence officers around the world. At the same time, the publication noted that so far there is no direct evidence of Russia's involvement in these attacks.

      directed energy attack is the impact of highly concentrated electromagnetic energy, including the use of powerful radio frequency or microwave devices, as well as particle streams. Results can be very different.

      Biggest fun here is that US totally made thing up. As they have only words of few people that they "felt something", no proof, no anything.
      It is ideal thing to make accusations that no one have any slightest chance to debunk.

    • Before July 1 EU and non-EU sellers selling goods online to EU consumers could import the goods into the EU, directly to the consumer, import VAT-free if the consignment of good(s) is valued at €22 or below. This ends 1 July 2021 and all imports will be subject to EU VAT. Sellers and facilitating marketplaces can collect import VAT on import consignments valued up to €150. Or they may use the new Special Arrangements and have postal operators collect the import VAT.

      But main tool will be EORI codes and total mess on how pay for fees.

      Note how big proponents of free markets quickly changed to opposite as soon as they can't compete.
