Samsung’s bloatware problem is about to get a lot worse

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-20 09:00:30

Adamya Sharma / Android Authority Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S11 lineup is a solid next step for Samsung’s flagship tablet series. The screens are noticeably brighter, and while I mourn the lack of a Plus model, there isn’t much about Samsung’s new tablet hardware that I have to complain about. The software is a different matter, though, as one of the additions Samsung has made to One UI 8 on the Tab S11 could hint toward an attitude to bloatware I’m not comfortable with.

Time Spent on Hardening

Time Spent on Hardening I recently received mail from someone working on a software-based approach to fault tolerance. Their tool makes applications more reliable, but they think it also makes developers more productive by reducing the amount of error detection and handling code they need write. They have never been able to find research that quantifies how much time developers spend on code for detecting and handling problems relative to the effort for the “happy path”. they know it’s substan

Two of the Kremlin’s most active hacking units recently were spotted collaborating in malware attacks that compromise high-value devices located in Ukraine, security researchers said Friday. One of the groups is Turla, which is easily one of the world’s most sophisticated advanced persistent threats (well-organized and well-funded hacking groups, many backed by nation states, that target specific adversaries for years at a time).
