Submission + - Amazon Appstore still broken on Android 12 a month after OS release (amazonforum.com)

Submitted by Anonymous Coward on Saturday November 27, 2021 @07:20PM

An anonymous reader writes: People running Android phones may want to hold off upgrading to Android 12 if they also use apps purchased through the Amazon Appstore. The Appstore app itself is not compatible with Android 12, which prevents many, if not all, apps purchased and downloaded via Amazon from running.

The Android OS update began to be rolled out to Pixel phones over a month ago, and more recently, newer Samsung Galaxy handsets, such as the S21.

Amazon has acknowledged the problem in a 90-post support forum thread, as well as in the Appstore app itself, but has not provided a timeline for a fix to restore users' apps.

IOC Claims Olympian Lindsey Vonn's Name As Intellectual Property 399

gehrehmee writes "As usual, the International Olympic Committee is coming down on hard on people mentioning things related to the Olympics without permission. This time it's UVEX sporting supplies, which sponsors Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn. Without explaination, their front page was today updated to include a tongue-in-cheek poem about UVEX's interaction with the IOC. Can the IOC really claim an Olypmian's name as their own intellectual property?"

Comment Will the real Spam King stand up, please? (Score 1) 596

So is this guy (Eddie Davidson) the Spam King, or is this guy?

'Spam King' gets nearly 4 years in prison

U.S. District Judge Marsha Pechman ended the reign of the so-called Spam King, who earned his title by sending out millions of unwanted e-mails, by sentencing the Seattle man to nearly four years in prison Tuesday. Robert Soloway is the second person in the country to be convicted under the Can-Spam Act for flooding the virtual world with fraudulent e-mail messages. His sentence of 47 months is less than half of what prosecutors wanted.

Maybe (when Davidson gets caught), they should duel to the death to determine who the real king is?
