Sometimes, I really feel like the invention of cars has done more harm than good. Let's go back to good times, and rely on other forms of transportation potentially better for ourselves and the planet.

Definitely exaggerated, but the principles are sound.

• Google is working on an Intrusion Detection system for Android, according to a teardown of the Play Services app.
• The system will collect a log of your device/network activities that can be accessed if you notice suspicious activity across your account or devices.
• Google’s code suggests this log is end-to-end encrypted and can only be accessed with your Google account password and device authentication.

• Android 16 now supports cloud compilation, a new feature that could speed up new app installs.
• The goal of cloud compilation is to avoid running the dex2oat tool during app installations by offloading compilation to the cloud.
• Dex2oat takes an APK file and generates app artifact files that the Android Runtime loads. Depending on the device and the amount of code to compile, this could take some time.

It looks like the ART (Android Runtime) JIT is playing an increasingly less important role with time.

Friendly reminder that the cloud is just someone else's computer.
