What do you mean by this? Isn’t Google’s signing key only used to verify an update for an app is actually the for correct app? Even if Google could decompile the app, they wouldn’t have access to Signal’s servers or any encryption keys so they couldn’t read any messages.
This can also be combined with the sound of the grid, or mains power, to figure out a general location and an exact time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0elNU0iOMY
Plus it would open the door for even more tracking.
I’m curious what lead to both of these posts
That’s true, it’s not as bad as I was originally thinking. However, there’s probably a reason traditional power plants never use jet engines for power production. According to this article, “But repurposed aircraft turbines tend to be less efficient and more polluting than engines designed for conventional gas-burning plants.”
Some crypto was designed to be useful, and some was designed to be an investment scam. But everyone is investing in all crypto so none of it makes sense.
AI can make decisions and micromanage. What’s stopping the higher ups from replacing lower management now?
Hadn’t heard of immich, I already run a plex server so shouldn’t be too bad to set up. That just leaves the big problem of switching all my existing accounts off gmail.
I’m sure it’s a tactic to make the schools allow AI, but I hope they can resist. Google does not need a stranglehold on every person in every market. Google search has gotten worse anyway, so even duck duck go would be fine. Maybe even use this as an opportunity to teach kids about data privacy.
Wow this can’t be efficient. Jet engines are primarily designed to produce thrust. But looks like Musk got special permission from the state to pollute more, so all’s good!
Ugh it’s going to be a pain to stop using Google, but it’s time. Long gone are the days of “don’t be evil”
Yes!! I think Microsoft wants the same thing since that’s when support for windows 10 ends.
That, plus the fact that they hand over data to cops with no warrant, and now this… I made a Tuta account until I can figure out self hosted email. Proton was supposes to be the good version of Google.
Apple says the detection is done on-device, but it’s closed source and I can’t think of a way to test it so I wouldn’t trust it
I don’t know what an app bundle consists of, which the page you linked says google needs, but it can’t include the source code because google has recently been paying some developers for access to their source code - https://www.techrepublic.com/article/news-google-android-code-offer/
In any case, having access to the source code will not grant access to encryption keys or allow anyone to decrypt messages. After all Signal is already open source so anyone can use the Signal protocol for encrypting messages, which is exactly what WhatsApp does.
