Just over 50% of Californians are at least partially vaccinated, and COVID-19 cases across the state have decreased nearly 13% in the last week alone. Los Angeles entered the
yellow reopening tier early this month. Dining out has returned in force. Tasting-menu restaurants are suddenly booked out two months in advance. The noontime lines again trail from nearly every truck serving tacos and mariscos along Olympic Boulevard in Boyle Heights.
Within this framework, columnist Jenn Harris and I compiled a
springtime guide highlighting outdoor dining. Restaurants are welcoming customers back inside dining rooms with increased capacities; for some people takeout remains the most comfortable, safest option. Emphasizing restaurants with outside spaces felt like the soundest focus for us.
Google is rolling out its May security patch ahead of the first Android 12 Beta set to be released later this month. The security patch will fix glitches and bugs on the Pixel 3, Pixel 3a, Pixel 4, Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a (5G), and Pixel 5.
The security patch, dated May 1st and May 5th, will resolve 13 high to critical ranging issues, with the most serious involving the device’s media framework (software that enables you to play media files) and a remote attacker potentially executing arbitrary code through a designed file, which can result in a security breach on your device.
All supported Google devices will receive the second half of the update on May 5th, and Google encourages all customers to accept the update.
