fuck offffff
Welcome to your “I only buy vintage tech” era.
Mine started when 3.5 mm audio jacks started disappearing. We all draw a line.
Motorola needs to release those GrapheneOS compatible phones now 💀
Illegal in Germany. You may not record conversations, if you try to enter something like that as evidence you’ll get punished as well.
I suspect there are many countries with laws like that, and if your phone actually disables the feature when you enter them or just let’s you hang to dry…
The people who called me crazy because “there’s no way your phone can be listening in on you all the time” are the same people who are going to be the most excited about this “feature”
How did these people expect “Hey Siri” / “Hey Google” to work?
Im a perfect world, as they claim, its a secondary system listening that isn’t recording or transmitting anything, and is meant to be low power. If it hears the wake up word, it wakes up the other mic and starts recording.
Thats how they claim the smart speakers work anyway.
This would be different.
Microsoft introduces “Recall” spyware the world goes mad, Google and Apple do something similar and it’s mostly silence.
I’m not defending Microsoft but it just shows the double standards between the trust in these corporations.
At this stage there should be more people up in arms and onto the streets.
Reason n+1 for me being thankful for switching to GrapheneOS.
How’s the app support? I want to switch if/when the Motorola phones come out, but I’m wondering how many of my apps/services I’ll have to abandon.
I am yet to find any app that doesn’t work.
You still gave your money to Google for the phone…
First setting change, turn off audio memory.
And somehow, it automatically gets re-enabled in a next update. Urgh…
Next update? No, it’s re-enabled automatically when ever you have an important conversation, that way you can’t forget to turn it back on!
I hate what google has become.
No fucking thank you 😒
