impressive! the ultimate botnet machine!
Are Chromebooks more susceptible to that than a Windows machine?
Far less, since they're quite locked down (hence their popularity in education).
I suspect it was just a reference to google spying on people.
Okay that was my thought. I didn't know if something became public in the chromeOS security world that I missed
i was talking about the botnet that is google itself, with chromebooks being a literal physical part of it.
Are you referring to privacy concerns or something else. Because when I think of the word botnet I think of DDoS attacks. Do you think Google's doing something like that?
google is a machine learning, data harvesting botnet most ppl opt in consensual.
I mean that's what we want right? To be able to opt in consensually. What do you think pays for Gmail, Google maps, YouTube, etc all the "free" services that most of us use every day?
if you love being the product, go ahead. i haven't used any gapp in years and don't feel like i'm missing something.
Some company somewhere has a file with your web history, likes and dislikes, etc saved in it. A credit card company or Facebook definitely have one. Facebook specializes in creating profiles of people who either don't have or deleted their Facebook accounts. Apparently Facebook sells that data too advertisers as "harder to reach." Don't use Google, or Android, or anything other thing you don't want but don't think you're actually anonymous.
