Huawei touts its 'substantial contributions' to Android and says it will continue supporti...
Funny how Finland found the back door and Huawei’s response is that they don’t open it...
Most of Googles services are not allowed past the Great Firewall of China, so switching to open source Android will have limited impact. It will be an irritation but it really only slows down the speed that they get updates. Google will not loose much, they don’t get any data from Google services in Chinese.
I would bet money that Huawei branched off Android in the past year and is nearing an OS announcement.

How to delete all the audio recordings that Amazon Echo's Alexa has been making of you
Nice, lollkrupp said:Well, I was curious so I used the instructions to find and play some of my Alexa recordings. They consisted of “Alexa, turn on the fan” “Alexa, turn off the light” “Alexa, what are my notifications” and “Alexa, what’s the weather like today”
Cute thing was playing the recordings triggered Alexa to complete the request. All in all I’m not worried but I do watch WWE Wrestling and every time the female wrestler Alexa Bliss is mentioned my Echo Dot wakes up so I guess it records my lurid comments about Alexa Bliss and her tight little body.
I have a very dry and sarcastic sense of humor, definitely don’t want some things I say attributed back to me. Would lead to some awkward conversations with authorities. No officer, I wasn’t really asking for the number to a hit man, just joking. That would be one of the more light hearted things heard... 😬
For anybody that can’t fathom why privacy is important. Go to google and start researching things the government wouldn’t like, enriched uranium, how nuclear explosion work, How to make a trigger.
If you take privacy for granted, consider the plight of the Uyghurs in Xinjiang. The Chinese government is getting dangerously close to WW2 Germany in many regards.

Apple can’t give authorities something they don’t have, such as your Siri requests. -

It’s obvious that you didn’t research how Siri works. So I’m addressing this to forum members that are interested in Siri operation facts.disneylandman said:
Apple can identify and track you through your AppleID and your data on iCloud. In fact, the next version of iOS will merge Find My Friends and Find My Phone into one app for tracking purposes. Siri data is sent to Apple because Siri does not work without an Internet connection. Your phone cannot process anything locally because Siri tells you she can't do anything without an Internet connection. Keep dreaming if you think your data is safe with Apple. Guess what, when Apple receives a subpoena for your data, they will release it to the government and/or law enforcement. They are required to by law and have done it many times in the past by releasing the cloud data. In case you did not know, Apple is a big customer of Amazon Web Services for their cloud services. If you really want privacy, get off the Internet and don't store anything in the cloud. A successful hacker can get into anything. But, you are not going to do that because you want the convenience.LordeHawk said:

Siri recordings are linked to a random device generated ID that cannot be traced to you. Turning Siri off and back on in settings, generates a new ID and Siri loses her training for your voice. Siri requests are processed in the cloud and your phone is ordered to perform the task locally, without sending data to Apple.
Amazon can definitely identify you, as their services are not localized on device for your privacy. Amazon So if the government wants to warrant your Alexa recordings, or a successful hacker wants to explore your personal life, it would be very easy.
Your Apple ID and iCloud data are in no way tied to your random, device generated Siri ID.
Your verbal request is sent to the cloud, processed into instructions and relayed back to the device. The Apple device contains your data, it is not transmitted to the cloud for Siri requests.
For example, if you ask Siri for directions home, your voice is sent to the cloud and processed. Using your unidentifiable ID as a device reference, Siri servers instruct the device to open maps, look up your home address, current GPS location, and start route guidance. Other cloud assistants access your location and address book from the cloud.
iCloud backups are another matter, as they’re accessible to Apple and warrants. I don’t use iCloud backups, I use a Mac and encrypt my backups.
