@jasonhowell @ronxo @MishaalRahman @queencodemonkey Just came across this in my feeds, is this something to be concerned about? https://mastodon.sdf.org/@jack/113952225452466068 #AndroidFaithful

You remember #Apple scanning all images on your #mobile device? If you have an #Android #phone, a new app that doesn't appear in your menu has been automatically and silently installed (or soon will be) by #Google. It is called #AndroidSystemSafetyCore and does exactly the same - scan all images on your device as well as all incoming ones (via messaging). The new spin is that it does so "to protect your #privacy". You can uninstall this app safely via System -> Apps. https://developers.google.com/android/binary_transparency/google1p/overview

This was a CRAZY week of podcasting for me, and it was really fun getting to catch up with so many friends!

Started off with my show on Monday trying to figure out Superconductors and nuclear fusion!

Then Jason Lewis and I had a SUPER SIZED trek down memory lane where we debated the definition of the word "comparable" for roughly a half hour, but OTHERWISE talked about fun tech. 😂
