According to LCBO, Jack Daniel's Honey is Canadian. I looked at the info in the bottle. It's not. in c/ontario@lemmy.ca

Heinz ended up making them in Canada again after the backlash. You do have to check the bottles though, as I think some are still sourced from the US.

Hopefully the contract being awarded doesn't preclude the option for regulation of things like fare caps.

Consolidating Xiaomi communities? in c/fedigrow@lemm.ee

[–] ijeff 2 points 2 weeks ago

Agreed. Folks can choose where to post as it is. Also, our friends in the lemmy.world admin team have expressed their preference for communities to be transferred to new moderators (after a bit of time for the transition) in the event of a merger.

Thanks for the suggestion! We appreciate you thinking of us. Things are running smoothly as is and we're actually quite happy to see variety on the Fediverse. However, we're always open to chat if their moderators have fresh ideas and are interested in supporting !xiaomi@lemdro.id.

Nothing OS 3.0 launches in beta in October with these new features (9to5google.com)

submitted 6 months ago by ijeff to c/android

1 comments fedilink

Nothing has launched a first look at its Nothing OS 3.0 update, delivering revamped designs and features, a new Gallery app, and more, with a launch in beta next month.

Nothing OS 3.0 is the software the company "always wanted" to build, as explained in a new video on the company's YouTube channel. The update, almost surely based on Android 15, is set to bring several new changes including redesigns throughout the Android skin as well as a long-awaited first-party "Nothing Gallery" app.

New features in Nothing OS 3.0 include:

Nothing Gallery: A new photo app with Nothing's design language and faster access from the camera app
Lock Screen: More customization for clocks and widgets, including the ability to disable a full-size clock to make more room for widgets.
Quick Settings: Full customization of icons including their size, similar to homescreen widgets. Auto-brightness toggle in the brightness slider.
Smart App Drawer: AI will be used to surface apps you may want to use -- in a UI that looks just like iOS' App Library -- or you can manually pin apps to the top of the traditional Android app drawer.
New Widgets: Countdown widget for dates, "Shared Widgets" that sync content and sticker reactions between users
UI: Updated typography, new "Dot Engine" updates system animations with dynamic dots (found when charging, fingerprint sensor, etc)

Android malware 'Necro' infects 11 million devices via Google Play (www.bleepingcomputer.com)

A new version of the Necro malware loader infected 11 million Android devices via malicious advertising SDKs in legitimate apps and modified versions of popular software. The malware primarily spreads through unofficial websites and modified apps, but two legitimate Google Play apps were also found to be infected. Kaspersky identified several malicious plugins associated with Necro, including those that display ads, download and execute files, facilitate subscription fraud, and use infected devices as proxies. The total number of infections is unknown, but at least 11 million devices were infected through Google Play.
