Getty Russia’s biggest search engine secretly put blocks in its code to stop images of Vladimir Putin showing up in the results of potentially embarrassing searches, according to a report, with Nazi iconography also allegedly scrubbed out of the results of queries for the “Z” symbol signifying support for the war in Ukraine.

It’s a day with y in the name, so that must mean another Google Chrome security update. All joking aside, being a Chrome browser user does bring a sense of update Deja-vu along for the ride. Although I’d rather these things were found, largely by independent security researchers it must be said, and fixed, than left awaiting discovery by nefarious parties. In the case of the 20 problems patched by Chrome 106.0.5249.61 (for Mac and Linux users) and 106.0.5249.61/62 (for Windows users), some… Source link

It fixes a problem people noticed on the Pixel 6 phones after the March update, where the vibration for notifications was suddenly much weaker. Two… Source link

Google is rolling out its February update for Pixel phones running Android 12, which is meant to fix a few camera, Bluetooth, and keyboard issues. The company says that some users will start getting the update today and that the “rollout will continue over the next week in phases depending on carrier and device.” Google’s previous update process was a bit of a fiasco for Pixel 6 owners, so hopefully, this one ends up being more routine. If you’ve got one of Google’s latest… Source link

Google is bringing an update to older Pixel devices to fix a dangerous bug that prevents users from calling 911, as noted by a post on a Google support page. The bug stems from an unintended interaction between the Android OS and Microsoft Teams — it only affects devices with Android 10 or later and could occur if you have Teams installed but aren’t signed in. The update resolves the “issue preventing emergency calls in certain conditions” On the support page, Google notes that… Source link
