Microsoft was screwing over consumers before Google was even founded.
Robin Williams, as Bill Gates: “Monopoly is just a game, Senator, I want to rule the fucking world!”
“I’m a boss! I own DOS!
Your future is my design!
I’m a god! Own Xbox!
Now there’s no one to stop me, the world is mine!”- Bill Gates
… do you have the slightest Idea what data your phone sends to Google? Heck, even chrome‘s like a keylogger for them.
And the next time someone says "I got nothing to hide“ just casually ask them to read their messages, mail, call logs, calendar…
They do have something to hide.
Funny thing is, the best phone to de-google are their own pixel phones - grapheneOS is fantastic.
It really is! I am always amazed how rock solid and easy the update process is.
Is the NFC payment issue solved? Or just given up on?
It’s been MANY years since I messed with custom roms.
Zilch Nada nothing unless I open Aurora store
Another way to help people care about privacy is to tell them, “Imagine if all the things you watch on ‘The Hub’ got released and everyone from your workplace to your family knew”
Just give them a bit, they’re lagging on the whole AI thing right now but they’ll catch up.
Lagging? Not sure I’d agree with that. They’re leaning hard into Gemini.
Yes, but Gemini is pretty bad. The only thing it has going for it is the half-assed Google integration. Can read your emails, but not your calendar…
Well, I guess the large context window, too, but when the model itself is bad, it’s doesn’t matter much if it has massive context.But it kind of sucks compared to the competition, thus they are lagging.
They have that much information on us I’d be surprised if AI was even useful to them.
Big data analysis is what machine learning does best though
