The latest #Android #AOSP security patch marks the end of public Android #12 and #12L security patch support.

There are a number of #Automotive #Infotainment systems based on #Android12 or #Android12L, so it'll be interesting to see whether companies provide updates to #Android13 (or, more likely, #Android14), or whether we see head-units left vulnerable to issues discovered in the coming months and years.

Android Open Source ProjectAndroid Security Bulletin—April 2025  |  Android Open Source Project

Google Play System Update (March 2025) rolls out for Samsung devices

Google Play System Update was a feature that was introduced for devices that ship with Android 10 or newer. It’s mandatory for device manufacturers that plan to release their devices with Android 10 to support Google Play System Updates. As a result, non-Google devices, such as Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets released with Android 10 (One UI 2.1), can receive such updates, too.

These updates don’t require security updates from the manufacturer to work, as Project Mainline modules work independently to give you better experience with Android phones and tablets.

On March 27th, a new Google Play System Update has been pushed to Samsung devices. This update upgrades your Project Mainline modules to the March 1st, 2025 version. This update weighs around 61 MB.

To be able to get this version, follow these steps:

  1. Go to your device’s settings
  2. Open the security settings
  3. Find “Google Play System Update” and tap on it
  4. If everything goes OK, you should see the below update dialog:

Click on Download and Install, wait for it to download, then reboot your device by clicking on the blue Restart button. The next time your device boots up, the revised update gets installed, so it’s going to take about 3 minutes maximum to install all the updates.

There is no progress bar, so don’t panic if it looks stuck. Your device will eventually boot up. Now, open your settings app and check your Google Play System Update. If everything is well, you should see March 1st, 2025 below the appropriate button.

In case your device didn’t receive the update, wait for a few days, and it will be available shortly.

Stay tuned for the April patch of 2025!

@sebsauvage @Monolecte #Google aussi s'en branle de tes choix. Le #Pixel4a de ma compagne à migrer tout seul de #android12 à #android13. Puis elle a reçu un mail lui disant que son tel allait migrer (non, c'est déjà fait) et que cela allait dégrader les performances de la batterie ! MAIS SI VOUS LE SAVEZ POURQUOI VOUS MIGRER AUTOMATIQUEMENT LE TEL ???!!!!
Dans le mail, on lui propose de résoudre le problème... Le lien pointe vers une proposition de remboursement 50 USD tout de suite ou 100 USD⤵️

You follow #StateSponsoredMalware ? Cool. I do demonstrations about that on #Android10 to #Android12 and am about to embrace #Android13 with #SSM™ provider from the UK, GammaGroup.com, when I get around to it this year. My work, btw, is charity work to the #infosec community since I'm in Silicon Valley and have been here contributing to many industries here over the past 24+ years. See my bio.

Are you against my charity or just want to break down how #CALEA software works or something? Perhaps you are just about to do a GREAT science drop about #NSOGroup's #Pegasus and we are ALL about to learn something from you? No?

Perhaps when you talk about a previous employer of mine, Oracle Systems, sometime someone from Oracle may, shocked I know, just might say something. You know?

I did my 9+ years working for Sun Microsystems in Menlo Park, CA also and 1yr into the Oracle Systems acquisition also. You know, the headquarters where #Meta (previously know as #Facebook who bought this property from Oracle.)

Google BooksMarxism and LeninismOne of the pre-eminent scholars in the history and theory of European socialism, John Kautsky in this volume develops the argument that Marxism and Leninism are two quite different ideologies. He counterposes this view with the commonly accepted one of Leninism as simply one form that Marxism took in the course of its evolution. The easy identification of Marxism and Leninism with each other has been responsible for great confusion in the realm of both scholarly and political discourse.Kautsky develops his position within the tradition of the sociology of knowledge, by the close examination of the different meanings of the Marxist vocabulary as it was used by Marxists and Leninists. His frame of reference turns on the position of labor in turn-of-the-century industrial Europe and the role of modernizing intellectuals in underdeveloped countries. While the vocabulary used was often common to Marx and Lenin, Marxism was explicitly concerned with appeals to workers in industrial nations such as Germany and Austria, whereas Leninism appeals to revolutionaries in underdeveloped nations such as Russia and China.Whatever be the current assessment of the future of socialism and communism, Kautsky holds that it is important to study the core structure of both Marxism and Leninism, since they were major phenomena that powerfully affected the world in the twentieth century. Beyond that, in dealing with how different ideologies can be ensconced within the same rhetoric, the book offers an outstanding entrance into the sociology of knowledge as a tool for political analysis. This is a unique work in the function of language no less than the nature of ideology.The work is divided into five parts: Two environments, two ideologies, one terminology. The evolution of Marxism, its appeals in the German Empire. The evolution of Leninism, its appeals to strata involved in making modernizing revolutions. The differential outcomes of Marxism in the East and Leninism in the West. And finally, an examination of why Marxism and Leninism have been seen as a single ideology. In a new essay prepared for this new edition, Kautsky provides important autobiographical as well as historical reflections on how this book fits into the overall pattern of the author's work.
