Learn how to disable it on Android.English1·6 days agoyup that’s right, I have a Redmi 9A that uses the MTK chip. I can unlock the bootloader in a few minutes and I don’t have to wait weeks to unlock the bootloader.
Lee Duna@lemmy.nzOPto Privacy@programming.dev•Starting today, Gemini AI will access your WhatsApp and more. Learn how to disable it on Android.English1·6 days agoYes, I think it’s still a problem
Even if Gemini App Activity is off, Gemini will still get access to these tools on your mobile phone. So how would the user know which feature setting this applies to and how they can stop this?
Lee Duna@lemmy.nzto Linux@programming.dev•Using ZRAM on a laptop with 8 GB RAM. Worth it or waste of CPU?English3·6 days agoI have some Linux installed on my x240, Mini PC, and 12th Gen Intel Core i3 laptop with ZRAM without any issues.
Here are screenshots of the dual boot Linux on my old Mini PC, Celeron with 8GB RAM and 500GB HDD
Lee Duna@lemmy.nzOPto Privacy@programming.dev•Starting today, Gemini AI will access your WhatsApp and more. Learn how to disable it on Android.English3·6 days agoYeah I guess, if you already have Android phone without Google Assistant or Gemini installed.
It’s probably already installed on the latest Android phones.
Lee Duna@lemmy.nzOPto Privacy@programming.dev•Starting today, Gemini AI will access your WhatsApp and more. Learn how to disable it on Android.English2·6 days agoNo, I never tried running it on Linux, I don’t think it would work well with Wine. Because the unlocking tool requires access to USB port.
Lee Duna@lemmy.nzOPto Privacy@programming.dev•Starting today, Gemini AI will access your WhatsApp and more. Learn how to disable it on Android.English2·6 days agoUnfortunately no, I use a cheap xiaomi phone as a daily driver.
Yes, Xiaomi phones are the worst when it comes to privacy. Fortunately, it has communities and many custom roms. I just need to install the custom rom without installing gapps.
Lee Duna@lemmy.nzOPto Privacy@programming.dev•Starting today, Gemini AI will access your WhatsApp and more. Learn how to disable it on Android.English6·6 days agoOn the subject of privacy, they’re both the same. They’re runs on top of Gapps, which has access to the Android system. Anything you type, what you do, or what you think. They will send all the data to Google’s servers and feed the AI. And Google probably knows you better than you know yourself.

Lee Duna@lemmy.nzto Climate Crisis, Biosphere & Societal Collapse@sopuli.xyz•Pakistan flash floods, heavy rain kill 45 in just daysEnglish1·14 days agoit just didn’t get as hot there because of the rainy weather
When the day starts, it will be very hot til around 12:00-13:00. between 14:00-16:00 when water vapor accumulates, it will rain heavily. But it happens randomly and regardless of the season as used to be.
As far as I can tell, this has happened in the last two or three years, I don’t know what season it is. And it gets worse, since this January there has been no rainy season or summer.
May I ask where you are? Is it a monsoon climate?
I live in SEA, around May-August it should be summer. November-March is the monsoon.
Lee Duna@lemmy.nzto Climate Crisis, Biosphere & Societal Collapse@sopuli.xyz•Pakistan flash floods, heavy rain kill 45 in just daysEnglish1·14 days agoNot at all, at least where I live I don’t experience flooding. But I recognize that there are floods elsewhere in my country, especially in places very close to the equator.
I read somewhere it is predicted that there will be very wet season around the equator and it will last until December. This is very unusual for us, I realized people around me didn’t know this.
Lee Duna@lemmy.nzto Privacy@programming.dev•privacy issue log into multiple google account in thunderbirdEnglish3·14 days agoIn SMTP/POP3 sessions never required that kind of information. Unless you’re using their apps like Google Mail or M$ Outlook, they might send those kind of information to their servers, but that’s outside from SMTP/POP3 sessions.
You should avoid using VPN with Google account, your Google account can get banned.

Lee Duna@lemmy.nzOPto Tech@programming.dev•Windows seemingly lost 400 million users in the past three years — official Microsoft statements show hints of a shrinking user baseEnglish1·14 days agoI don’t think they going to stop now. They even forced users to create Windows accounts in order to use Windows 11. They will also force Copilot to be installed on Windows 11.
Did we ever ask M$ for this AI spy tool? No.
Lee Duna@lemmy.nzOPto Tech@programming.dev•Windows seemingly lost 400 million users in the past three years — official Microsoft statements show hints of a shrinking user baseEnglish12·14 days agoThat’s one of the reasons I use Linux as my daily driver. I’m not playing high end games, I only play old windows games from my childhood.
is there any benefit? unless you are the target of spy agencies. but I don’t think it’s worth it.
stay away from mainstream social media, better yet use custom ROMs and don’t install gapps. use system-wide adblockers or change your DNS in addition to ISP DNS.
remember, government agencies can always buy your data from data brokers.
if possible, don’t use M$ Windows, it sends telemetry to M$ server.
for example I use Linux as my daily driver, and I still use dnscrypt-proxy to avoid government censorship
Lee Duna@lemmy.nzto Linux@programming.dev•The year of the European Union Linux desktop may finally arriveEnglish6·16 days agoIn my opinion, EU needs to force PC/laptop and other hardware manufacturers to provide drivers for Linux. Without this step, it will make it harder for them to move away from M$ Windows.
