Anyway I think that a Webcam cover should be a default on webcams, not only for privacy, but also for th same reason why Cams and binoculars have caps by default, to protect the lens. If you use a tape, to avoid glue on the lens, you can cover the intern part which is over the lens with a piece of paper
AI will be intelligent one day in the future, but until now it only can give intelligent solution in certain tasks like AI used in science, medicine, physik, etc., but not to be confused with AI for the normal user, well, sometimes certainly more intelligent as the user. It can be a usefull tool, but only if the user also use his own brain.
As I said, these things happen when the company uses AI mainly as a tool to obtain data from the user, leaving aside the reliability of its LLM, which allows it to practically collect data indiscriminately for its knowledge base. This is why ChatBots are generally discardable as a reliable source of information. Search assistants are different, like Andi, since they do not get their information from their own knowledge base, but in real time from the web, there it only depends on whether they know how to recognize the reliability of the information, which Andi does, contrasting several sources. This is why it offers the highest accuracy of all major AI, according to an independent benchmark.
The difference is easy, a ChatBot take informacion from a knowledge base scrapped from several previos inputs. Because of this much information isn’t in this base and in this case a ChatBot beginn to invent the answers using everything in its base. More if it is made by big companies which use it mainly as tool to obtain user datas and reliability only in second place. AI can be usefull in profesional use in research science, medicine, physic, etc. with specializied LLM, but as general chat for a normal user its a scam. It’s a wrong approach to AI in the general use, the Google AI proved it.
I use an AI as main search (Andisearch) because it is made as search assistant, not as ChatBot. In its base is only enough information to “understand” your question and search the concept in reliable sources in real time from the web. Because of this it’s accuracy is way better than those from every ChatBot from Google, M$ or others. It don’t invent nothing, if it don’t know the answer, offers a normal web search, apart it’s one of the most private search, anonymous, no logs, no tracking, no cookies, random proxie and Videos in the search result sandboxed. Not very known, despite it was the first one using AI, long before the others, from a small startup with 2 Devs, I use it since almost 2 years. Until now I found nothing better or more usefull for the daily use with AI https://andisearch.com/ PP

No, but eg, Chromium has a BSD 3 license, that means simplified do what you fucking want with it at your own risk, exept if you want to put the original Chromium author on your shabby fork or derivated products, you need a permission to do it. Even Gecko has a more restrictive license (MIT, also very liberal but need copyright mencion if you use it)
i know, because off this I named what is FOSS and what is OSS. But even FOSS, when it include APIs, also FOSS, from Big Brothers, it isn’t really FOSS, it’s only because the traditional definition, same for “Open” Source as such. This is because I said that the traditional definition need a revision.
All from Google Code (Chromium, Chromium OS, Android, irbase, etc…) and alot of third parties which include APIs from Google, Facebook and the other mencioned. Well, as FOSS you can all of these gut and fork, but if not, the are not more private and secure as any other proprietary soft. You can take a look also on the over 6200 Microsoft Open Source repositories in GitHub (also from MS), eg Docker, LinuxTracepoints, Live-share…
https://github.com/orgs/microsoft/repositories?type=all
Or in the Open Source repositories from Zuckerbot (eg. React)
Also Amazon
https://aws.amazon.com/en/opensource/
Most trustworth those from the NASA, but most very specific apps. Maybe Worldwind as alternative to Google Earth.
We all know that companies like Adobe, Amazon, Google, Zuckerbot products and M$ are everything, but trustworthy when it comes to security and privacy. But too many times FOSS is confused with being reliable, secure and private, which is profoundly false, especially in recent years, since precisely the aforementioned companies got massively into the world of OpenSource, injecting and controlling many FOSS products with their APIs.
The big evil today is called surveillance advertising, that is, selling user data to advertising companies and others, to create income, which is not only an invasive privacy problem, but also a serious security problem as it is not controllable how these data, often sensitive, are processed and protected.
Especially in products from the US, where privacy regulation is practically non-existent and which require an urgent review in this regard, irrelevant if it is FOSS or proprietary soft. It also requires a revision of the definition of OpenSource, where products that send data to third parties and large companies are not really Open Source, other than in an evil sense…
Maybe some generations later in the future it becomes suspicious. Valve want gain money and there is no reason that it will deep investigate if the downloads are still paid from the same account and paid with the same banc account, irrelevant if it’s from a different IP or ISP, that are things that can change even with the same user (transladet to other city, changing provider or PC, etc).
Somewhat better than this useless USB thingy (from Temu?)
Summary by Andisearch
Researchers have developed a new quartz coin that can store 360TB of data for 14 billion years. This is a significant improvement from the previous quartz glass storage, which could only store data for 300 million years. The technique uses femtosecond laser pulses to write data in the 3D structure of quartz at the nanoscale. This makes it possible to store the whole of human history in a small coin-sized device. The storage system is also very durable, able to withstand high temperatures. This technology could potentially serve as a means of archiving important information for future generations or even extraterrestrial beings.
Q4OS is a known nd reliable distro (Made in Germany Debian base, KDE<>Trinity) with active developement since 2014, I know several users which use and like it a lot, also very positive reviews in the web.
https://9to5linux.com/lightweight-distro-q4os-5-2-aquarius-is-out-based-on-debian-12-bookworm
Even more using Q4OS, it’s maybe one of the most Windows like, it has even an Windows installer, making it even easier to change.
Even Xiaomi has released the SU7, a real Tesla killer and also way cheaper. But not for the US market, but for the EU.
The problem is an obsolet copyright law, made by big companies and elderly politicians confusing a remote control with a smartphone. Money is killing the culture and the knowledge.
Let see how long would be exist these

That is the Trap. Pre-installed Windows is not free, you pay for it in the price of the PC, the same PC without OS is almost ~€100 cheaper. A lot of vendors offer now PC only with FreeDOS, where you can select to install Linux, paying only the CD or USB or install Windows, paying it’s license (€100-120).
I think the same, Win10 is still “domesticable”, because of this it will be the last Win I’ll use, maybe in Octubre 2025 in dual boot with Linux, for local use. Win 11 is already beginning to take over the user’s PC as its own and Win 12 probably only admitting apps from the MS Store, naturally most proprietary paid apps or free with ads or hidden costs (Free*)
