the android 15 source code has been released

We usually hear about the latest Android versions at Google Pixel launch events, but the source code for Android 15 has finally been released on the Android Open Source Project. It was oddly absent from last month’s Google Pixel launch, but at least it’s available now. You can check out the developers’ go-live link here.

Android 15 will soon be available on select Pixel models. Additionally, devices from brands like Samsung, Honor, iQOO, Lenovo, Motorola, Nothing, OnePlus, Oppo, realme, Sharp, Sony, Tecno, vivo, and Xiaomi will receive support in the coming months.

Notable features include smart volume adjustment and dynamic range compression for apps using AAC audio with loudness metadata. Other updates and fixes include better split-screen app access and edge-to-edge app display for apps targeting SDK 35.

The developers are also launching a series called Spotlight Weeks to delve into technical topics related to the mobile operating system. They’ll kick off by discussing what’s new in Android 15.

Since Android 10, Google has moved away from naming its releases after desserts. After ending this tradition with Android 9 Pie, the focus has shifted to more straightforward branding and regular feature updates. While these changes reflect a more mature operating system, some of us miss the excitement of those earlier days. Maybe we’ll get a nostalgic nod to the older naming scheme buried somewhere in the settings?

uae prepares to launch two satellites thuraya-2 and mbz-sat

HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Deputy Prime Minister of the UAE, chaired the first meeting of the Supreme Space Council in Dubai on December 16, 2024. The session highlighted the UAE’s ambitious space plans and took stock of the sector’s economic progress.

The council emphasized the growing role of private companies in advancing space technologies, noting that their contributions are now equal to that of the public sector. Members also praised initiatives like the Space Economic Zones Programme, which are designed to fuel innovation and investment in the space industry.

Discussing the UAE’s space journey, HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum remarked, “The national space sector continues to grow and advance, and we take immense pride in the remarkable achievements we have accomplished over the years”.

Sheikh Hamdan also received updates on two upcoming satellite projects: Thuraya-2 and MBZ-SAT. Thuraya-2, developed by Space42, is slated for launch this December. Meanwhile, the MBZ-SAT, created by the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC), will soon follow. MBRSC, a major driver of the UAE National Space Programme, continues to lead the nation’s space-related developments.

Space42 took the opportunity to showcase its advancements, including ongoing collaborations between public and private entities. The company also outlined strategies to promote innovation, boost revenue streams, and create new opportunities for growth in the sector.

The UAE’s current projects build on a growing legacy of space exploration. Back in 2020, the nation made headlines with its Mars mission, successfully sending a probe into the planet’s orbit in 2021. This mission, which is now in its second phase as of June 2024, has been collecting critical data to develop a comprehensive diurnal image of Mars.

The UAE also ventured into lunar exploration with an unmanned mission aimed at studying untouched regions of the Moon’s surface. While the probe ultimately crashed during its landing attempt after communication was lost seconds before touchdown, the effort represented a significant step in the country’s exploration ambitions.
