Google Delivers September Android Security Bulletin, but No Pixel Update Yet

/in


Yesterday, Google released the September Android security bulletin, sticking to its commitment of delivering these bulletins on the first Monday of every month. However, there was no Pixel update alongside it, leading to some confusion and complaints on social media platforms.

It’s important to note that Google deviated from its regular first-Monday schedule for Pixel updates starting in April, allowing themselves more flexibility in the delivery of monthly updates. This means that the absence of a Pixel update does not indicate any delay or failure on Google’s part.

The speculation about the release of Android 14 was also addressed in the article. Although Beta 5.1 and Beta 5.2 with bug fixes were rolled out in August, there has been no sign of the final Android 14 release. Google has only published the security bulletin build, which still carries the Android 13 designation.

In summary, if you have been eagerly refreshing your Pixel phone’s update page, hoping for a September update, you can stop for now. Google has not yet released an update, and it remains uncertain whether they will, or if it will be based on Android 13 or Android 14. Rest assured, we will keep you updated if there are any changes or announcements.

Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty Coming Out on September 26

/in


The world of Cyberpunk 2077 is set to expand dramatically with the introduction of a new expansion, Phantom Liberty, announced to launch on September 26th on Xbox Series X|S. This expansion will invite players back into the heart of the dystopian megapolis Night City, offering an intriguing twist on the familiar setting.

Phantom Liberty features the return of the cyber-enhanced mercenary, V, tasked with a high-stakes mission unlike any seen before saving the NUSA President. The narrative thrusts players into a whirlwind of espionage and intrigue that requires more than firepower to navigate successfully.

This new expansion takes place in the dangerous district of Dogtown, a previously unexplored area in the expansive cityscape. Here, players must forge new alliances and make difficult decisions to survive. It’s a web of shattered loyalties, sinister political machinations, and sharp-edged tension – the classic ingredients of a potent spy thriller.

Given the reputation of Cyberpunk 2077, we expect an immersive experience, blending the high-intensity combat that players have come to expect with a more strategic, shadowy side of Night City. The expansion promises a unique combination of stealth, strategy, and digital warfare and the moral ambiguity inherent in any espionage operation.
