Applications that misuse the accessibility service to add beneficial features for their users get a short pause from Google. (Source: JuralMin/Pixabay)

Google decides to re-evaluate whether they remove apps that misuse accessibility services, such as LastPass and Tasker

Google has asked developers whose apps use the accessibility permission to email them with how their app uses this permission to enhance user experience so that they can assess "responsible and innovative" use of the permission. While doing this they have put a pause on the 30 day 'modify or remove' notification they had previously given developers.

Oreo for the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 leaked

The Samsung Galaxy S8 received its Oreo beta weeks ago, so it's a bit surprising that Note 8 users have been left in the lurch. Only until now, though, as what looks like a stable internal Oreo build for the flagship has finally surfaced, with users testing it out and confirming its validity.

Considering the notable price difference, the Titan V actually offers almost the same performance as the Tesla V100, with slightly inferior specs, and essentially the same Tensor, single and double precision speeds.
