Android Phone | Google server | Photos - No privacy

google-photo-app-sync


Have you ever seen any mobile application working in the background silently even after you have un installed it completely?

Your Android smartphone continues to upload your phone photos to Google servers without your knowledge, even if you have already uninstalled the Google Photos app from your device.
Journal editor David Arnott found that Google Photos app uploaded all his personal photographs from the device into the service even after uninstalling it.

Arnott provided a video demonstration showing that after uninstalling the Google Photos app from his Samsung smartphone, the photograph he took off his coffee mug still wound up being synced into his account on the web.
"This evening, I went back to Google Photos on my laptop and found a crap-ton of pictures I'd taken in the interim. It seems that even AFTER I UNINSTALLED the Google Photos app it was still syncing pictures from my phone when on WiFi. Obviously a problem."
I tried the same quirk on my Android phone as well and discovered the same issue. This is something really annoying and scary at the same time.

How to FIX and Protect yourself:

So if you are an Android user and looking to avoid having your personal photographs on your phones automatically being stored on the web, you need to disable the sync option from either the Google Photos app(if installed on phone) or from your phone's Google Settings.

Google's Response to the issue:

When Arnott reached out to Google, the search engine giant said, "The backup was as intended" and that the users will have to turn off the feature in the phone's Google Play Services settings. It's because the Google Photos' settings are interconnected with the phone's Google Play Services.

The power of Bluetooth 4.0

By -

Bluetooth, once trumpeted as the ultimate convenience, quickly proved a headache with plenty of pairing problems and inexplicable connection snafus. Bluetooth 4.0, the newest version of the technology, is about to change all that. The bad Bluetooth rep I personally use Bluetooth daily, and love it. My trusty   LG BHS-700s   works like a charm. For others, however, living with this technology can be frustrating. Often users are asked to enter annoying passwords before linking devices, and sudden reception drops or other software glitches make Bluetooth feel more painful than fun. Honestly I believe the bad old days of Bluetooth are behind us, especially with Bluetooth 4.0, AKA   Bluetooth Smart Ready , on the edge of mass adoption. Already available in the   Motorola Droid Razr   and   Droid Razr Maxx   smartphones plus Apple's   iPhone 4S , Bluetooth 4.0 is expected to hit more handsets and all manner of accessories this year. High-end hands...

So you want to hack your 360. Have no idea where to start? This thread should give you a general idea on what you can do with your 360. Lets get started. First of all you'll need to determine the age of your console. This will give you a general idea of what hack you can apply. On the back of the 360 there is a sticker near the AV port (Phat*&Slim*) On that you'll find the MFR date as well as the Console Serial and Product ID. Determining the age of the 360 ​ ​ You'll need to write down your MFR date. This will roughly tell you what board you have in your 360. Xenon: 2005 - 2007 203w power supply, can be JTAGged and RGH'd (14699 only) & R-JTAGged. Zephyr: 2007 - 2008 203w power supply, can be JTAGged and RGH'd (Hard to achieve) & R-JTAGged. Opus: Only from RRoD Repairs from MS (rare revisions) 203/175w power supply, can be JTAGged and RGH'd & R-JTAGged. Falcon: 2007 - 2009 175w power supply, can be JTAGged and ...

Wii Remote IR Camera Hack with Arduino Interface

By Anonymous -
Image
Step 1: Extract the Wii IR camera You'll need a Wii remote or "Wiimote" to start with. Normally they are about $40, in the end that is not too bad for a pretty awesome sensor. Otherwise you can check out ebay or elsewhere for used or broken Wii remotes. You'll need to rip apart the case. It has some crazy three pronged screws. I didn't want to completely trash the case so I made a small tool to take it apart. Now you need to desolder the 8 pins and the 2 struts holding the camera on the board. I used some desoldering braid. It wicks the solder away and makes it easy to get the camera out. Be careful, don't break the camera! You might want to keep the rest of the parts. You might be able to scrap other parts. Also, If you decide later to use the Wiimote again, you could always put the camera back in. Step 2: Interface Circuitry We'll need a small circuit to interface the IR camera to the arduino. I got all m...
