The post Tesla’s drama, China-based companies are listing in the U.S., and SurveyMonkey is (finally) going public appeared first on BardTech . Hello and welcome back to Equity , TechCrunch’s venture capital-focused podcast where we unpack the numbers behind the headlines. This week, we were a man down, with the excellent Alex Wilhelm of Crunchbase News on a vacation that someone seems to have sanctioned, though it was not us, as we don’t believe in vacations. (Wilhelm, get back here.) We did, happily, have the very knowledgeable Kirsten Korosec of TechCrunch join us on the line; we were also joined by this week’s personable in-studio guest: Lauren Kolodny , a partner at the San Francisco-based, early-stage venture firm Aspect Ventures. It was the perfect mix to talk about car makers and more car makers, including Tesla and CEO Elon Musk’s seemingly ill-planned plans to take the publicly traded company private, then vacillating a bit before changing his mind again, much to the ...

The post Android Pie-based HydrogenOS Beta 2 for the OnePlus 6 brings September security patches appeared first on BardTech . HydrogenOS is a Chinese ROM by OnePlus that runs on almost all of their devices. The main difference between HydrogenOS and OxygenOS is that HydrogenOS doesn’t come with Google services, such as the Play Store and others. But, it has a history of receiving updates earlier than OxygenOS. Just now, it received Android Pie-based 2nd beta for OnePlus 6 , which brings September security patches. User harshitguliani posted on OnePlus forums about the update . He attached the screenshot where we can see the full changelog of the build. As you can see, the update contains a bunch of bug fixes, along with the September security patches.
