I’ve been on the Android ecosystem for 15 years, I literally thought this was an onion article.

Yep, riding in my moms 76 Honda civic, my mom would tell me (and my sister) to shut up when complaining about the smoke. Also the lit embers that would enevitably fling back into the back seat still hold some early memories.

Wouldn’t it be great if independent auditors were standard, responsible for holding companies accountable for their data security practices, coupled with a rating system akin to those used in the banking sector? Before paying for a service, consumers would be aware of how secure the service is. Say A++ or AAA.

It would be a pain in Silicon Valley’s ass for sure, but it would go a long way toward giving consumers peace of mind and bringing about a whole new industry in the process.

I couldn’t have said it better myself.

The Tron-inspired Cybertruck failed in a catastrophic accident because apparently the super powered x-treem window wipers were turbo maxed to the power of RAD.

Or perhaps Four Loko

Have you tried the Grayjay app https://grayjay.app/ although it encourages you to not block ads and sponsors for the benefit of the creators you can in the settings. It also allows you to connect with your various accounts, YouTube and others.

Xitter, nice name, sounds like an adolescent skin condition.

“it’s not known whether the leak came from within the company or one of its vendors.”

Isn’t it time that big tech companies and their sale of private data get regulated? I see a giant class-action lawsuit in the making here.

Why bother with Google when they can just ask your telco.

I think that was Chat Control legislation that eventually didn’t pass in the E.U (thankfully in my opinion). Under the guise of “think of the children” it was going to be a privacy nightmare.

I’ll stand corrected on my original comment then. I hope that with Google being dragged through the courts at the moment, perhaps it may inspire more interest and conversation about how our data is handled and how it pertains to the implications around privacy.

Is Apple trying to convince me that the Health app, Apple maps or Siri doesn’t track me?

I’m pretty sure Android Automotive uses Google Maps as its default navigation system.

Yeah I worked out that the problem was the scene optimizer, I never turned it on but I get that to a certain extent these things can be changed in the settings. It won’t bring back my portrait fails though, and honestly, I still get less convincing realism than before which isn’t why I chose the phone in the first place.

Not sure why you got all the down votes here, as an educated society, wouldn’t we want more competition and less monopoly as the world relies on this tech every day?

On my Galaxy after the update and after a set of photos blending my wifes chin into her neck, resulting in making her look like Beaker from the Muppets, I’m done with Samsung. I bought this phone for it’s excellent camera capabilities, being happy to nurture my inner shutter bug, but Samsung seems to think we are all hapless idiots that can only accept perfect color matched, smooth skinned fakery. Convenience is king for most, but perhaps for me it’s time for a new brand.

What bliss… And just like that, through the miracle of organic sharing, every corner of my house, office and drive was notifying me of my existence.
