Tile is also another option but not sure how their policies are but relatively cheaper option and uses other people apps like airtag depending on location of course using Bluetooth.

No worries I forgot where I found this but it was my phone background for so long lol

Ya that's true take em out young before they can make an impact probably why our public education system is shite too. Pretty much training us to work some 9 to 5 and sit and produce rather than be creative and think outside the box. Only when you have money and status can you actually learn something that helps you figure out the world and how it runs.

The sad truth let's hope we can keep fighting back and maybe one day we can get some younger people in there that actually care about the people and privacy.

We're free to do whatever we want as long as it's what they want. Reminds of the Henry Ford saying you can have any color you want as long as it's black or something like that.

It's probably cuz they keep losing and aren't able to convince enough people so of they group it altogether with another bill they can try to pass this without anyone knowing while trying to say they're protecting us but taking away so much more. I just can't believe they keep trying this and more and more people are starting to agree cuz the whole "I have nothing to hide so what does it matter" argument.

Still rocking my Oneplus 7Pro but thinking I might want to upgrade to the new Google Pixel 8 when it comes out. I like stock Android and Google phones have been pretty nice from what I've seen and from the little amount of time I've used and played with them in stores. I like the ability to install a privacy focused rom like GrapheneOS too. But the only thing now holding me back from deciding on the Pixel 8 is the temperature reader like that's something I know I won't be using and I don't want to be paying for that when I know I won't be using that feature.

And with Adobe implementing AI into their photoshop tools, like it's great for photo editing and making a smoother work flow but there's always the negative side. And they did say that in the meta data it would show that an image had AI used on it but the everyday consumer of media won't know and or even think of checking into that.

No problem! And ya for how big a company they are this seems like a pretty big thing to be dropping the ball on and with Google making the zip and mov domains I feel like they must be trolling people or something trying to create more problems in the cybersecurity world but that's up for debate also I guess.

I think it's a step in the right direction to get users to adopt MFA. I know too many people that still rely on using the same easy to remember password to login to too many accounts, especially important ones and are too "busy" to set up a password manager or even set up MFA through other methods. Having something built in would be good for them. My only concern is that this is something aimed at newer devices and not too much for legacy devices that may not have a Bluetooth enabled desktop. Of course those are probably now viewed as the not the norm for everyone as now everything is done on newer laptops and phones that have everything built in to use these new technologies.

I also don't like having all my eggs in one basket, like relying on Google to protect my backup codes and MFA options while assuming they will use E2EE while transferring my data, which apparently they've already dropped the ball on their new feature of backing up information into the cloud by default.

I wonder if we could make an instance for that like reddit post history to be parsed so things can be found but then taken off reddit so the traffic would leave there and only come to lemmy... But then again that could also become disastrous with all the not helpful comments lol
