Taking matters into his own hand, developer perseus0807 has written an Xposed module — XDictionary — that brings a system wide dictionary to all Android devices....

At first glance, it looks like Microsoft took all the best elements from macOS and Linux, swirled them around a bit and slapped a Windows logo on it. That isn’t a bad thing, as Windows 10 could have done with a new coat of paint. After all, the operating system is six years old....
In WannaCry’s aftermath, lessons were learned, emergency patches were deployed, and the current state of worldwide internet security was reviewed. The exploit used to spread the malware was called EternalBlue, a Windows SMB flaw that is part of the NSA hacking toolkit leaked by a group called Shadow Brokers in April. Note: SMB is Windows’ file-sharing protocol. Since the flaw affected older unsupported Windows machines that millions of users apparently still use, Microsoft was prompted to do the unusual move of pushing out emergency patches for outdated systems like Windows XP and Vista and even bundling them with its regular monthly updates....

In China, Xiaomi is a huge force to be reckoned with, and while that’s probably good enough for now for the company, setting sights on foreign shores is inevitable. When that time will actually come, though, is still up in the air....
