Amazon is going to be disabling the privacy feature that processes voice commands locally on Echo devices at the end of this month. Instead, all voice commands will be sent to Amazon's cloud for processing.
I have already followed my own steps to remediate this:
U.S. lawmakers say Google has refused to deny that it received a Technical Capability Notice from the U.K. — a mechanism to access encrypted messages that Apple reportedly received.
It is reported that the Home Office has ordered Apple to build a backdoor into its encrypted services so that they can get hold of content that any Apple user has upload to the cloud.
Encryption keeps our private information safe and secure.
Bipartisan US Congress Members want the secrecy around the UK's encryption-breaking order to be lifted.
"It is imperative that the UK's technical demands of Apple - and of any other US companies - be subjected to robust, public analysis and debate."
“Secret court hearings featuring intelligence agencies and a handful of individuals approved by them do not enable robust challenges on highly technical matters.”
UK MPs have joined the chorus of voices wanting the Apple case to be held in public.
"If the Home Office wants to have effectively unfettered access to the private data of the (innocent) general public, they should explain their case in front of the public."
🗣️ David Davis MP.
"People deserve to know what's happening to their private personal information."
A row between the tech giant and the government over customer data will reportedly move to London's High Court this week – but the hearing will be held behind closed doors.
｢ Shortly after, balenaEtcher started displaying ads. Although we didn't like that, we initially didn't view it as a significant privacy risk and had no better alternative at the time.
However, in 2024, the situation changed: balenaEtcher started sharing the file name of the image and the model of the USB stick with the Balena company and possibly with third parties ｣

An amendment to the “Nacrotrafic” law is moving to the French National Assembly. Remind your legislators that a backdoor for the good guys only is not possible.
Finally got this update from @Tutanota, now to just get my business email moved over to Tuta.*
* the post quantum encryption isn’t the reason for switching my business, I’ve just not had time to sit down and make the switch/transfer (I’m a one man band).
First the US agency CISA, now the Swedish Armed Forces: Officials start to understand the importance of encryption in the face of increased tension and surveillance.
Just like Linus (LTT) said, Apple could have just stopped working in UK territory, people would fight back against UK's government, pushing them to revert back the law and get Apple back. But Apple has no backbone and cares only about money, unlike Tuta.
In the context of all the #privacy discussions going on recently, please share with non-techie friends and family that #Zoom calls where someone says, "It's okay, we're not recording this," are NOT private.
With ~$99 worth of apps, it's super easy to record almost any video on your screen, with accompanying audio. Even though it's easy to see that your Zoom call organizer isn't recording, that doesn't mean anyone else in the call isn't (and you wouldn't know).
I've switched to lurking here for a while due to the effects the current political situation in the US is having on me. I am making some big changes to how I do things, including how I livestream and host various products of my math research. I'll be posting about the steps I take as I take them.
I have switched from #Firefox to #Librewolf on my desktops. This was pretty easy since I have been storing my bookmarks as a plain text file on my desktop for a while now. Very portable. I just wish #VideoDownloadHelper worked on Librewolf.
I am looking into #XMPP now and trying to find a server to sign up for. Does anyone know any with open registration?
I have also recently gotten into #IRC again, and am excited to get more familiar with the #Pidgin client on desktop.
Hier könnt ihr unser aktuelles Spotlight-Interview mit @Tutanota, einer datenschutzfreundlichen E-Mail-, Kalender- und Kontaktlösung aus Deutschland lesen:

Privacy is only dead if we let it die. Be careful about the all-or-nothing mindset in data privacy, it can do more damage than good to the cause. While striving for improvements, do not forget to cheer and celebrate each small win.
The UK's Investigatory Powers Act has way too much power. By forcing Apple to remove its encryption for UK users, it threatens the #privacy of everyone.
We at Tuta would never build a backdoor - and our #opensource code is proof of that.

I've been using #Firefox derivative #Zen #browser for a couple of months, and am very happy with it. As a refugee from #Arc, I love the similar tab UI and the split-screen view. And it has all of the #privacy features of Firefox, with none of the #chromium
