Do Google services have access to the camera/microphone if you don't give this permissions?

  • I am still not sure if sandbox is completely disabled for system applications. No comments with real arguments. But thank you, guys :)

    • I'm not worried about saving my location. Are you?

  • Excellent advice. Thank you, master šŸ˜ƒ

  • You can't disable location permission for google services, so that's obvious. But microphone/camera permissions can be disabled, that's why I'm wondering.

  • I wouldn't be so sure about the possibility of a bypass. I've heard that system applications have more privileges, but sandboxing is still active and permissions work for them.

  • bad analogy. it's an ongoing process, not a one-time breach ;)

  • yup, facial recognition, one of the most advanced system, near China quality ;D

  • i already contributed to OSM in the past. my hometown became much more detailed because of this. also, on Yandex there is more info about places (prices, types of food f.e., some specific stuff, which is added by place hoster in time, no latency)

    in our city all needed information about bus schedule provided +- exclusively through yandex so it is really needed

    but it is still really useful feature :)

    yandex local reviews are still fair, no company deleting comments bullshit so they are useful

  • it already is. our camera system recognizes, identifies people easily.

  • i think translation results will be meh. DeepL is very good in this regard.

  • because my geolocation is sold anyway, if i use yandex or not. but day-to-day life becomes worse without it.

  • Area is pretty outdated in OSM. No bus/train schedule, car accident alerts on place, places reviews from users.

  • weird situation D:

    • There is still no Linux app store

  • it is in privacy and security section in settings. allow analytics, PING and send everyday data.

  • maybe you have opt-out logs enabled? try to disable them šŸ˜ƒ

  • good strategy, for day-to-day life it does not matter so much where are you located.

  • they could build private service and still train their AI on our data. but they don't. just disconnect data and identity (IP, fingerprint) and we are good. so this frontend seems like a solution.
