Huge double boxset of Android patches lands after Qualcomm disk encryption blown open

When Linux is the face of kindness
My late father, Lou Shapiro, was an early leader of UNICEF, so relief work was baked into the genetics of my family. His work was centered on emergency relief for the survivors of earthquakes and other natural disasters.
