This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Few years ago I got a Nest Secure to go with my other Google Nest gear. One day Google emailed me to tell me Assistant was now enabled on my security system. Oh, by the way, it has an undocumented microphone!
That’s when I realized what a privacy nightmare Google really is. I know Apple isn’t great but come on.
is gemini on all androids? i remember there once was something called bixby, now when i accidentally hold the home button for too long it tells me to enable "circle". i've disabled all of those "smart" features but fuck knows what is going to get automatically installed in an update next week
This headline format makes me irrationally annoyed.
They shouldn't be making assumptions about what the reader thinks. It almost feels like they're planting a bias first and then presenting the facts - instead of just laying things out and letting people make up their own minds.
I don't have Gemini loaded to my phone and I have Google assistant voice command disabled
But a few days ago I was having a conversation with my son next to me on the couch with my phone sitting on the arm of the couch.
When I asked him a question, gemini answered with a prompt on the screen I have never seen before and haven't since.
It still creeps me out
I looked up what the prompt for gemini is supposed to lol like and this looked nothing like that. It looked more like a popup dialogue box from a browser but the only browser I use is opera and it is set as default
What about LineageOS?
My guess is the problematic parts here aren't open source so they should never show up in Lineage OS?
Too bad we can't get a Linux OS.
