The article states they cicumvemt androids privacy controls,, but doesn't say how. As far as I'm aware, WiFi access point scanning is behind the location permission and service for precisely this reason. So if you just deny that permission, you should be fine.

I wasn't able to use my WiFi ssid in home assistant automations without having location services enabled, for example.

I anticipatie accidents and hiccups before they happen

Except for the ones that actually happen.

If you find any websites that don't work with firefox, you should report them to Mozilla. Firefox has a list of known bad websites, and has fixes for them, usually just a user agent override.

I think we're looking up at a drinks dispenser, one where you push your cup against the metal thing to start filling.

There’s no indication that any of the apps were available through Google Play.

So it's just users installing untrusted apps to their phone?

scour infected phones for text messages, contacts, and all stored images

They also can't do that without the user explicitly giving the app permission to do those things, unless they found an exploit or something, but the article doesn't say that.

Also, why would you have images with passwords in them on your phone anyway?

People really should know better nowadays than to do any of this shit. Every step here is preventable by the user just thinking about what they're really doing.

• TalkBack now uses Gemini
• Chrome has TTS built-in now
• Circle to search for music, seems to be just a manual way to trigger song recognition
• Earthquake alerts more coverage in the US
• Offline Google maps on smartwatch

I'm not sure about the others, but I'm pretty sure Hitman isn't linux native.

As far as I can find on protondb, neither are Deus Ex or Tomb Raider.

I've never had any issues running those games through Proton though, so that's great.

Ahh, was wondering what was up with those comments on an issue I made.

Pretty much immediately got 2 comments with shady mediafire links in them.

Did they say that? Cause it looks like there is at least some work being done on this:

I mean I'm not worried about anything, I'm just not going to buy it.

+1 for ventoy. With that you can just flash ventoy on it once, then copy iso's over to the usb drive without reformatting or reflashing anything.

There's loads of cookie-related things that aren't allowed in the EU, it's a shame nobody really seems to be doing anything about it. I still see non-compliant cookie consent screens all the time here, even on bigger, more well-known websites.
