Don’t bring anything with a modem and you’re good to go.
You are complaining about the photo monitoring functionality, which happens 100% on device. You can confirm this very easily by monitoring the app’s network activity when you receive an image. Android System SafetyCore does a lot more things than photo monitoring, one of which is providing emergency location data (ELS). This is required by law in the EU, India, and the USA.
The app doesn’t
connectsend the imagine to the internet, so it’s not that big of a deal. I guess that could change in the future though.
tekato@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Tesla’s 2024 financial results are out—and they’re terribleEnglish31·4 months agoIt used to be double that, so I can see why people see it as a bad thing. But I also don’t think 7.1B profits qualifies as “poor financial results”, even if it used to be higher.

tekato@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Tencent says it's not a Chinese military company and is willing to sue the US Department of Defense if it isn't removed from a blacklistEnglish42·4 months agoTorvald and many others aren’t American, not subject to it, and publicly stated that they weren’t forced to do it.
This is my last response to you because you just keep saying things that are false while calling me the liar. Linus is an American citizen, and even if he wasn’t, the Linux Foundation is an American organisation.
You’re claiming, hyperbolically might I add, that you know whats going on with Torvald and the foundation better than those people themselves. And still showing no actual proof or causation. How can anyone conclude anything other than you are gaslighting and being misleading? It’s Mega level bullshit conspiracy theories.
Literally linked the USA sanctions that apply to this case, but ok.
tekato@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Tencent says it's not a Chinese military company and is willing to sue the US Department of Defense if it isn't removed from a blacklistEnglish61·4 months agoSaying that I’m gaslighting without even bothering to check the facts is a very interesting approach. USA sanctions on Russia regarding software and IT services went into effect on September, and all parties had 90 days to comply or be sanctioned as well. If he really did it only because he wanted to, why not do it as soon as the Russian invasion started? Why not do it as soon as the sanctions were announced (June)? Not kicking all employees from sanctioned companies means the Linux Foundation is sanctioned as well.
tekato@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Tencent says it's not a Chinese military company and is willing to sue the US Department of Defense if it isn't removed from a blacklistEnglish114·4 months agoIt is not a mischaracterization though. Open source projects can be forced to stop accepting contributions from employees of sanctioned companies, which would include Tencent employees if sanctioned. Anyways, Tencent is not being sanctioned here, so I guess it doesn’t really matter.
Also, Linus was definitely forced to kick the Russian maintainers out by USA sanctions.

This isn’t preferential treatment to Google. Of course, the judge doesn’t have to listen to anybody’s suggestions, but you are definitely allowed to make them.

tekato@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•New magnetic flow has potential to revolutionise electronic devicesEnglish7·5 months agoThe material itself cannot be magnetized, which is what they mean by not “being magnetic”. However, these do have spin currents that can be measured and controlled, so they sustain “magnetic activity”. Kind of like a hybrid between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic.
tekato@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Internet entrepreneur Kim Dotcom has suffered a serious stroke, a post on his X account saysEnglish1·6 months agoBut what does that actually mean? When he actually went through the propper channels for his position? Department of Defense is a VERY wide organisation, and allegedly he did just that.
It means exactly that. File a complaint with the DOD or IC IG’s office.
Claiming he us not a whistleblower, because a VERY specific procedure needs to be followed is just a legal cop out. It’s an ambiguous law that can be used to burry shit indefinitely, and bent to be applied as they wish if people go public.
Here you are saying the same wrong information for the third time. He does not qualify as a whistleblower because be publicly leaked classified information, there’s nothing ambiguous about that.
Snowden: I raised NSA concerns internally over 10 times…
…Snowden said. “The NSA has records. They have copies of emails right now to their Office of General Counsel, to their oversight and compliance folks, from me raising concerns about the NSA’s interpretations of its legal authorities.”
Right. He was able to copy millions of classified documents but forgot to get copies of the same emails that prove he raised concerns through the proper channels. This is the only email that there’s record of, and it was not even submitted by Snowden, but by the NSA.

I guess 5 years is not too bad, but the judge would probably never agree to the ban.
tekato@lemmy.worldto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Why the US forced sale of Google's Chrome faces legal hurdles62·6 months agoGiven that even Mozilla (who has significantly less resources than Google) had the ability to create a second web engine and then abandon it, it would be dumb to think that Google doesn’t have at least 2 or 3 teams working on different browsers or engines for no reason.
Unless they’re prohibited from creating another web browser ever again (which would most likely be a bad idea), they can probably come up with a working browser in less than two years

Provides nothing to the discussion but an insane reach (I already said I agree with what Snowden did) and an insult.
Manning didn’t break the law and still served an illegal sentence, so I will give Snowden and Asange the benefit of the doubt.
Here you are saying incorrect information again. I repeat, under the US law, leaking classified information to the public is not considered whistleblowing. Manning broke the law.
I’m sick and tired of US propaganda, much less the international versions.
I’m tired of all propaganda, including pro and anti-US propaganda. The US has enough issues as it is and there are enough reasons to condemn the current system. Making things up and defending criminal activities doesn’t help anybody.
Trump stole far more classified documents and that is just fine according to the law
Trump did not publicly leak any classified documents, he simply took them with him. It’s still illegal and was prosecuted for it, but this is not comparable to Manning or Snowden. By the way, Biden did the same thing.
Interesting how they forgot to go over the architecture for LMDecompress.
