Android + Windows = a beater car built from random parts?
Bloomberg’s Austin Carr details the frustrating experience he had replacing his Apple devices with Android- and Windows-powered products. But when he contacted Google about his report, Carr says a spokesperson “accidentally” copied him in on a private message to his team... and the message was pretty revealing:
He [the spokesperson] mocked the very idea that an Android-and-friends model could work as well as iOS. “It’s like doing a car comparison but trying to compare a Honda to a car you build from parts you got at Pep Boys,” he wrote.

HCA Healthcare data breach exposes information of 11 million patients.
The healthcare company reported the breach on Monday, stating that patient names, emails, phone numbers, birthdates, and other personal information had been stolen and posted to a hacking forum.
According to HCA, the breach doesn’t include patients’ clinical information, payment details, or sensitive information like passwords, driver’s licenses, or social security numbers. HCA is working with law enforcement to investigate the incident, and says hackers might’ve stolen the information from “an external storage location exclusively used to automate the formatting of email messages.”

Threads might run into some moderation issues when it integrates with ActivityPub.
Alex Stamos, Facebook’s former security chief, points out that the integration could make it more difficult for Meta to put a stop to “spammers, troll farms, and economically driven abusers” due to the way the decentralized social networking protocol is set up.
Threads may also face issues when complying with data regulation policies around the globe, many of which grant users the right to delete their data. As explained by Stamos, ActivityPub “has the ability to tell other servers to delete content but no mechanism to enforce.”
