I have done it. Despite the usual 2.4Ghz network related nonsense with IoT and my general nervous disposition when dealing with electrical matters. I have removed my #Nest Learning Thermostat Gen 3 and replaced with the #DraytonWiser HubR Gen 2. I took some pleasure, tinged with sadness mind you, at deleting my Nest account which I never migrated! I’m a little bit more #DeGoogled It’s a shame the guys sold out to Google. Nest was an innovative product. #DIY

Hoy en día cuando se habla de Helium Browser se suele hacer referencia a un navegador web open source construido sobre un Chromium “desgoogleado”, es decir, sobre la base de un proyecto como ungoogled-chromium pero con un fuerte énfasis en la privacidad y sin dependencias en los servicios de Google.

Hey EU friends 👋

Google's new reCAPTCHA logs which certified device visited which site and when. Across millions of websites. Without meaningful consent.

That's not just sketchy. That might be illegal under GDPR.

Time to ask some questions. Ep 26 tells you where to start.

Google's reCAPTCHA Fails De-Googled Android Users, Impacting Privacy | The Coders Blog | Home

Google's reCAPTCHA service is reportedly broken for users on de-Googled Android devices, raising accessibility and privacy concerns.

How the Company enforces power over users based on their data:

«Google Broke reCAPTCHA for De-Googled Android Users
Google has tied its next-generation reCAPTCHA system to Google Play Services on Android, meaning anyone running a de-Googled phone will automatically fail verification when the system decides to challenge them.»

Looks like #Google managed to sneak #PlatformAttestation into #Android after all, after their insidious #WEI proposal was shot down by pubic outcry. They've tied the nextgen #reCAPTCHA to the Android #PlayServices.

Upon detection of suspicious activity, you'll be asked to scan a QR code with Play Services running. The users of #degoogled Android like #Graphene will no longer be able to solve it. You'll be restricted to devices blessed by Google.
