Check this out! The hardware hacker Matt Brown has a new video looking inside the Superbox media streaming devices I wrote about last week. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R82pt4rLhBQ

Matt says he's doing another video soon about the sketchy app store APK they instruct you to install.

EDIT: The Malwarebytes article has been updated:

"After taking a closer look at Google’s documentation and reviewing other reporting, that doesn’t appear to be the case."

This confusion could've been easily avoided if Google was more clear in how they communicate with their users.

ORIGINAL:

PSA to anyone who uses Gmail!

"Reportedly, Google has recently started automatically opting users in to allow Gmail to access all private messages and attachments for training its AI models. This means your emails could be analyzed to improve Google’s AI assistants, like Smart Compose or AI-generated replies. Unless you decide to take action."

At some point in the near future when I’m in the car rental lot at least I’ll know not to pick a GM car as a general rule.
