Google has released a new feature which will allow people to search the internet by taking a video.
Seems like an awkward way to search for porn but ok.

Didn’t society already reject this shit several years ago? I seem to remember they coined the term “Glasshole” for people wearing those things. I think they would be useful though.
“OK Google…are her tits fake?”

Why you shouldn’t let governments backdoor encryption:

China reportedly hacked the wiretap systems required by U.S. internet providers under a 1994 U.S. wiretapping law.

Trust me, the government likes their backdoors. I may or may not have heard about that program before.

If Android is split away from Google it will die
Nobody is able or willing to lose money on Android.
Agree with most of the above but, even though he later dismissed it, the suggestion that maybe Mozilla could take over Android and make a go of it is laughable IMO. Maybe a decade ago.

They can have my Android when they pry it from my cold dead hands!

Google could, let’s say 10 years ago, afford to do anything, because almost anything would eventually bring in more search users and ads revenue. And so splitting up Google means killing all the individual parts and making practically all parts of the internet be a walled garden of someone’s own. It’s not that future is all rosy without breaking it up with entshittification and investors trying to get money out fast to spend on yachts and AI bets, but breaking it up would be genuinly terrible and it’s IMO crazy this is being discussed.
