This so-called Android ‘antivirus’ is just a front for spyware

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-29 10:35:03

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR LunaSpy Android spyware hides as an antivirus or banking protection app, spreading via messaging apps like Telegram. It fakes virus scans to trick you into granting permissions, then steals data, tracks you, and can even record audio or video. Avoid downloading APKs from messenger links and be wary of unknown security apps requesting broad permissions. Think you’re beefing up your Android phone’s security? If the antivirus app you just installed came

With this final change, T-Mobile now charges taxes and fees on everything

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR T-Mobile has removed tax and fee-inclusive pricing from all new 5G Home Internet plans as of August 6th. Existing customers are grandfathered in, though it’s certainly possible that T-Mobile will do what it can to get its customer base to slowly switch away to newer plans. This move effectively ends T-Mobile’s inclusive pricing policy for new customers across all services. T-Mobile introduced brand new mobile plans earlier this summer, and with it came a

Why AI Shouldn’t Replace Historians Anytime Soon

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2025-11-30 06:20:59

Microsoft recently released a study about the types of jobs most likely to be augmented by AI in the future. It led many people to assume those are the jobs that will soon be replaced by machines, and since “historian” ranked second highest on the list, it raised more than a few eyebrows among historians on social media. But after I tested generative AI tools with some historical facts, it seems like historians shouldn’t worry too much about the robots taking over just yet. At the very least, th
