Parenting win! I came up with a solution for my son's bedtime fears. He imagines detailed tools and weapons to bring into his dreams, stored in an infinite backpack. Drawing them helps too! It's a calming, empowering ritual before bed, and also a fun imagination exercise!

I learned something today: Google's Gemini "AI" on phones accesses your data from "Phones, Messages, WhatsApp" and other stuff whether you have Gemini turned on or not. It just keeps the data longer if you turn it on. Oh, and lets it be reviewed by humans (!) for Google's advantage in training "AI" etc.
But this only came to my attention because of an upcoming change: it's going to start keeping your data long-term even if you turn it "off": "#Gemini will soon be able to help you use Phone, #Messages, #WhatsApp, and Utilities on your phone, whether your Gemini Apps Activity is on or off."
This is, of course, a #privacy and #security #nightmare.
If this is baked into Android, and therefore not removable, I'd have to say I'd recommend against using Android at all starting July 7th.

A recent research has exposed more than 40 * 10³ IoT cameras happily showing their feed and location to anyone who can browse and use search engines specialized in the indexing of the misconfigured devices.
More than 14 * 10³ are localised in the USA.

Note:
I know that there are more than a million of these cameras world wide misconfigured an open on just port 80 http not even TLS 443, with admin / admin as credentials 🪪
