You don’t even need root. Developer options -> USB debugging, then run Universal Android Debloater on your PC.
This image classification, which does not currently apply to videos, works on-device and is powered by Android System SafetyCore, which “doesn’t send identifiable data or any of the classified content or results to Google servers.”
It’s opt-in for adults but automatically activated for children’s devices.
15·3 months agoSo it’s creating and adding new data that didn’t exist in the original image, presumably using “AI” since it requires a server-side update.
I saw a laptop ad where they referred to the storage as ROM, e.g. “500GB ROM/16GB RAM” 😂
Then again, EPROMs are rewritable yet “read-only”…
Sorry, I was not trying to put words in your mouth. I just usually hear, “Linux not good for me because it doesn’t support my setup well enough” when it should be “Linux not good for me because the manufacturers of my hardware don’t support Linux well enough”. Trying to put blame where it belongs in hopes of raising awareness to both users and manufacturers.
I also mistakenly thought you mentioned a newer Nvidia card when you are considering AMD. 🤦♂️ Good luck in your computing future!
It’s not the fault of the creators of an operating system that Nvidia refuses to write comparable drivers. Nvidia are the only ones with the technical knowledge of the GPU’s internals that is necessary to write the 100% functional driver. Open-source Nouveau drivers exist but are less functional because of this, its programmers have to try to reverse-engineer and do a lot of guesswork and testing, and for free.
Basically: If you value FOSS software at all, buy from manufacturers that are friendlier to FOSS software, or you may unknowingly lock yourself out of it.
Edit: Buying newer (especially of Nvidia) is probably a bad idea if you intend to run Linux. Older cards have had more time for them to fix the inevitable bugs. I run a GTX980Ti 😅 with the closed-source drivers on an Arch-based system and I’m honestly surprised a video driver update hasn’t seriously broken anything yet.
The company that made my TV is engaged in copyright infringement, you say? Transmitting copyrighted images over the Internet for profit?
Huh.
