How to enable the iOS-style Google Photos memory widget on Android – Android Central

October 17, 2021 | Author: admin

Source: Namerah Saud Fatmi / Android Central

Google Photos has a very nice Memories widget on iOS that Android users have been envious due to its aesthetic nature. Its minimalist, clean look is superb, and the slideshow feature of old pictures gives you a tinge of nostalgia whenever you look at your phone. Thankfully, the iOS-style Google Photos memory widget has finally made its way to the Android platform. Here's how you can enable it and add the cute widget to your Android phone.

Anyone can add this widget to their Android phone as long as they have the Google Photos app. However, remember you will only see the Memories widget on your phone if Google Photos runs version v5.52.0.0387241369 or above.

Tap on Widgets.

Place the Google Photos Memories widget on your home screen.

After placing, tap and hold the Memories widget and readjust the size.

Once you place the Memories widget on your Android phone's home screen, it will display pictures from your Google Photos library. This includes images from different times in the past. If you don't want to see specific dates, people, or pets, then you can head to the settings within the cloud storage app and hide unwanted memories in Google Photos.

There are hundreds of different gallery apps in the Google Play Store, but none come close to Google Photos. Its integration with Google Drive and your Google account makes it extremely useful and accessible at all times. It also enables you to edit your pictures using Google's fantastic photo editing software, gives you the benefits of Google Lens in-app, and more. If you need a cloud storage platform for pictures on Android, your search ends with Google Photos.

Access your photos anywhere

Google has mastered the concept of a gallery app with Google Photos. You get cloud storage services, cross-platform integration, free backups, editing functions, sharing features, and more.

Picture this: rights and uses of images in the #hashtag era – Theadanews

October 17, 2021 | Author: admin

Questions like this come up in conversation every day: do I own my photographs, and who can use them?

The simple answer is that yes, you own any intellectual property you create, whether it is made on a sensor with a digital camera, on film with a film camera, on a canvas with brushes, on paper with a pencil, and any other means you can imagine.

The real world answer is a lot more complicated, and is often motivated by greed or a corporations efforts to make itself look good.

A recent example of this came from Delta Airlines, who claim, by tagging photos using #SkyMilesLife and/or #DeltaMedallionLife, user grants Delta Air Lines (and those they authorize) a royalty-free, world-wide, perpetual, non-exclusive license... Time will tell if this is even legal.

Claiming that they own a certain hashtag is, at least in my view, a great example of corporate greed and corporate desperation to control everything within their reach.

I am not much of a hashtag user. I find the hashtag scene, like much of the smartphone-centric web of the past few years, cluttered, yet oddly monotonous. More and more websites that were once interesting now look like the smartphone apps they are trying to compete with.

In the end, of course, if you dont want to support a brand by using their hashtag, dont. And if you dont want to see you images used for ... well, anything you can image across the globe ... dont share them on social media or websites.

Also, while I have you on the line, let me put a good word in for the cloud, which is the name for data storage in a faraway location. Ive heard too many stories about people who drop their smartphones into the ocean on vacation and lose 20,000 photos. Theres no excuse for that. There are good, secure, free cloud sites on the web, and you should definitely be using them. Google, Amazon, iCloud, iDrive, pCloud, OneDrive, and on and on.

In recent years, we are seeing more and more cameras stepping up to the cloud along side smartphones, allowing your photos to stream directly to your cloud service.

If you are intimidated by the idea of setting up and using cloud storage, put those words into a search engine and learn how. You wont regret it.

WhatsApp now lets users encrypt their chat backups in the cloud – TechCrunch

October 17, 2021 | Author: admin

WhatsApp is beginning to roll out a new feature that will provide its two billion users the option to encrypt their chat history backup in iCloud or Google Drive, patching a major loophole that has been exploited by governments to obtain and review private communication between individuals.

WhatsApp has long encrypted chats between users on its app. But users have had no means to protect the backup of those chats stored in the cloud. (For iPhone users, the chat history is stored in iCloud, and Android users rely on Google Drive.)

It has been widely reported that law enforcement agencies across the globe have been able to access the private communications between suspect individuals on WhatsApp by exploiting this loophole.

WhatsApp, which processes over 100 billion messages a day, is closing that weak link, and tells TechCrunch that its providing this new feature to users in every market where the app is operational. The feature is optional, the company said.(Its not uncommon for companies to withhold privacy features for legal and regulatory reasons. Apples new encrypted browsing feature isnt available to users in certain authoritarian regimes, such as China, Belarus, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia, Turkmenistan, Uganda and the Philippines.)

Mark Zuckerberg, founder and chief executive of Facebook, noted that WhatsApp is the first global messaging service at this scale to offer end-to-end encrypted messaging and backups. Proud of the team for continuing to lead on security for your private conversations, he wrote in a post on his Facebook page.

WhatsApp began testing the feature with a small group of users last month. The company devised a system to enable WhatsApp users on Android and iOS to lock their chat backups with encryption keys. WhatsApp says it will offer users two ways to encrypt their cloud backups.

Users on WhatsApp will see an option to generate a 64-digit encryption key to protect their chat backups in the cloud. Users can store the encryption key offline or in a password manager of their choice, or they can create a password that backs up their encryption key in a cloud-based backup key vault that WhatsApp has developed. The cloud-stored encryption key cant be used without the users password, which isnt known to WhatsApp.

While end-to-end encrypted messages you send and receive are stored on your device, many people also want a way to back up their chats in case they lose their phone, the company wrote in a blog post.

The feature can be accessible by navigating to Settings > Chats > Chat Backups > End-to-End Encrypted Backup (Image Credits: WhatsApp)

As we wrote last month, the move to introduce this additional layer of privacy is significant and one that can have far-reaching implications.

End-to-end encryption remains a thorny topic of discussion as governments across the globe continue to lobby for backdoors. Apple was pressured to not add encryption to iCloud Backups after the FBI complained, according to Reuters, and while Google has offered users the ability to encrypt their data stored in Google Drive, the company reportedly didnt tell governments before it rolled out the feature.

India, WhatsApps biggest market by users, has introduced a new law that requires the company to devise a way to make traceability of questionable messages possible. WhatsApp has sued the Indian government over this new mandate, and said such a requirement effectively mandates a new form of mass surveillance.

The U.K. government which isnt exactly a fan of encryption recentlyasked messaging apps to not use end-to-end encryption for kids accounts. Elsewhere in the world, Australia passed controversial laws three years ago that are designed to force tech companies to provide police and security agencies access to encrypted chats.

WhatsApp declined to discuss whether it had consulted with lawmakers or government agencies about the new feature.

Privacy-focused organizations including Electronic Frontier Foundation have lauded WhatsApps move.

This privacy win from Facebook-owned WhatsApp is striking in its contrast to Apple, which has been under fire recently for its plans for on-device scanning of photos that minors send on Messages, as well as of every photo that any Apple user uploads to iCloud. While Apple has paused to consider more feedback on its plans, theres still no sign that they will include fixing one of its longstanding privacy pitfalls: no effective encryption across iCloud backups, the organization wrote.

WhatsApp is raising the bar, and Apple and others should follow suit.

WhatsApp rolls out encryption for chats backed up in the cloud – Mashable

October 17, 2021 | Author: admin

WhatsApp is the mobile messaging backbone of much of the global population, and all of its users just got an added layer of privacy protection.

On the WhatsApp blog, the Facebook-owned messaging app confirmed that end-to-end encryption for backed up chats in the cloud will roll out "slowly" to all of its two billion (!) users starting now. This was previously announced in September, but without a specific release date. All you need to do is have the latest version of the WhatsApp mobile app installed to get access to the feature.

Here's how it works: Let's say you're getting a new phone and want to keep some WhatsApp conversations that are stored locally on your current device around for future reference using the iCloud or Google Drive cloud backup that's already available in WhatsApp. Open the Settings menu, find the "Chat Backup" option in the Chats section, then tap "End-to-end Encrypted Backup." You'll be prompted to turn it on, and guided through the process of creating a custom password or a 64-digit key. Hit "Create" after that and watch the magic happen.

Of course, it's vital that you keep your password or key around so you can use it later. What this feature does is lock that cloud backup behind a layer of security that prevents both WhatsApp and any cloud service from accessing the messages or the key used to unlock them.

This closes a loophole that would have allowed governments to force cloud services to hand over backed up messages, notably in the wake of increased online surveillance laws in India. That country has the largest concentration of WhatsApp users in the world.

As always, if an app gives you the option to enhance privacy, you should probably use it.

Meet the Alliance for Encryption in Latin America and the Caribbean – EFF

October 17, 2021 | Author: admin

Today EFF and other internet and digital rights organizations are announcing the Alliance for Encryption in Latin America and the Caribbean (AC-LAC). The Alliance is a platform for collective capacity building and information, based on the principle that encryption is an essential tool for security and respect for human and fundamental rights in the region, including freedom of expression and privacy.

The virtual launch event is October 21, with the participation of member organizations. It is open to the public.

This regional Alliance seeks to advance a proactive agenda to promote and defend encryption in Latin America and the Caribbean. It aims to strengthen the use of encryption and generate an ecosystem of trust, security and stability within information and communications technologies (ICTs), particularly the critical infrastructure of the internet and its applications and services.

The platform,comprised of 14 organizations throughout the region, seeks to coordinate efforts with encryption initiatives at the global, regional, and national levels, and generate spaces for exchanging information and mobilizing actions to respond to the effects weakened encryption have on security and fundamental rights.

The member organizations, which have outlined a joint agenda despite their diverse natures and interests, are: Access Now, ALAI, APC; Article 19; Coalizo Direitos na Rede (CDR); Derechos Digitales; EFF; Karisma Foundation; IP.rec; IRIS; ISOC Brazil; Nic.br; R3D. The eLAC initiative will participate as an observer member. The Alliance is open to new members who share its principles and ideas.

On Thursday, October 21, during Global Encryption Day, AC-LAC will present its regional pro-encryption agenda. A live event will be held to introduce the Alliance and its mission, and discuss why encryption is imperative for a more secure internet.

In addition to the 14 member organizations, AC-LAC counts on the Institute for Digital Development of Latin America and the Caribbean (IDD LAC) as the Alliance's secretariat.

Apples plan to scan images will allow governments into smartphones – The Guardian

October 17, 2021 | Author: admin

For centuries, cryptography was the exclusive preserve of the state. Then, in 1976, Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman came up with a practical method for establishing a shared secret key over an authenticated (but not confidential) communications channel without using a prior shared secret. The following year, three MIT scholars Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir and Leonard Adleman came up with the RSA algorithm (named after their initials) for implementing it. It was the beginning of public-key cryptography at least in the public domain.

From the very beginning, state authorities were not amused by this development. They were even less amused when in 1991 Phil Zimmermann created Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) software for signing, encrypting and decrypting texts, emails, files and other things. PGP raised the spectre of ordinary citizens or at any rate the more geeky of them being able to wrap their electronic communications in an envelope that not even the most powerful state could open. In fact, the US government was so enraged by Zimmermanns work that it defined PGP as a munition, which meant that it was a crime to export it to Warsaw Pact countries. (The cold war was still relatively hot then.)

In the four decades since then, theres been a conflict between the desire of citizens to have communications that are unreadable by state and other agencies and the desire of those agencies to be able to read them. The aftermath of 9/11, which gave states carte blanche to snoop on everything people did online, and the explosion in online communication via the internet and (since 2007) smartphones, has intensified the conflict. During the Clinton years, US authorities tried (and failed) to ensure that all electronic devices should have a secret backdoor, while the Snowden revelations in 2013 put pressure on internet companies to offer end-to-end encryption for their users communications that would make them unreadable by either security services or the tech companies themselves. The result was a kind of standoff: between tech companies facilitating unreadable communications and law enforcement and security agencies unable to access evidence to which they had a legitimate entitlement.

In August, Apple opened a chink in the industrys armour, announcing that it would be adding new features to its iOS operating system that were designed to combat child sexual exploitation and the distribution of abuse imagery. The most controversial measure scans photos on an iPhone, compares them with a database of known child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and notifies Apple if a match is found. The technology is known as client-side scanning or CSS.

Powerful forces in government and the tech industry are now lobbying hard for CSS to become mandatory on all smartphones. Their argument is that instead of weakening encryption or providing law enforcement with backdoor keys, CSS would enable on-device analysis of data in the clear (ie before it becomes encrypted by an app such as WhatsApp or iMessage). If targeted information were detected, its existence and, potentially, its source would be revealed to the agencies; otherwise, little or no information would leave the client device.

CSS evangelists claim that its a win-win proposition: providing a solution to the encryption v public safety debate by offering privacy (unimpeded end-to-end encryption) and the ability to successfully investigate serious crime. Whats not to like? Plenty, says an academic paper by some of the worlds leading computer security experts published last week.

The drive behind the CSS lobbying is that the scanning software be installed on all smartphones rather than installed covertly on the devices of suspects or by court order on those of ex-offenders. Such universal deployment would threaten the security of law-abiding citizens as well as lawbreakers. And even though CSS still allows end-to-end encryption, this is moot if the message has already been scanned for targeted content before it was dispatched. Similarly, while Apples implementation of the technology simply scans for images, it doesnt take much to imagine political regimes scanning text for names, memes, political views and so on.

In reality, CSS is a technology for what in the security world is called bulk interception. Because it would give government agencies access to private content, it should really be treated like wiretapping and regulated accordingly. And in jurisdictions where bulk interception is already prohibited, bulk CSS should be prohibited as well.

In the longer view of the evolution of digital technology, though, CSS is just the latest step in the inexorable intrusion of surveillance devices into our lives. The trend that started with reading our emails, moved on to logging our searches and our browsing clickstreams, mining our online activity to create profiles for targeting advertising at us and using facial recognition to allow us into our offices now continues by breaching the home with smart devices relaying everything back to motherships in the cloud and, if CSS were to be sanctioned, penetrating right into our pockets, purses and handbags. That leaves only one remaining barrier: the human skull. But, rest assured, Elon Musk undoubtedly has a plan for that too.

Wheels within wheelsIm not an indoor cyclist but if I were, The Counterintuitive Mechanics of Peloton Addiction, a confessional blogpost by Anne Helen Petersen, might give me pause.

Google Extends its Cloud to the Edge, Customer Data Centers – Data Center Frontier

October 17, 2021 | Author: admin

Google is extending its infrastructure to the edge, bringing its cloud hardware and software into telecom networks and customer data centers, including on-premises facilities.

With its new Google Distributed Cloud offering, Google will provide managed cloud nodes that can reside in facilities operated by carriers, colocation providers, and customers. It features a portfolio of managed hardware and software that enable Google Cloud workloads wherever they are needed.

Now more than ever, organizations are looking to accelerate their cloud adoption, said Sachin Gupta, Google Cloud GM and VP of Product for IaaS. Some workloads cannot move to the public cloud entirely or right away, due to factors such as industry or region-specific compliance and data sovereignty needs, low latency or local data-processing requirements, or because they need to run close to other services.

The announcement ahead of todays Google Next conference highlights the growing role of cloud platforms in the growth of edge computing. The new offering, along with the rollout of AWS Local Zones and Microsofts Azure Modular Data Center, further extends the reach of major cloud computing platforms in the edge computing sector.

Edge computing extends data processing and storage closer to the growing universe of devices and sensors at the edge of the network, enabling new technologies and services across low-latency wireless connectivity. Many startups and service providers are targeting edge computing, but cloud platforms play a central role in IT infrastructure, and their strategies will have huge impact on this emerging market.

For Google, the Distributed Cloud enables new ways to leverage partners like carriers and hosting companies to deliver services like 5G wireless, low-latency appplications and hybrid clouds.

The Distributed Cloud offering comes in two services:

Google Distributed Cloud is built on Anthos, an open-source-based platform that unifies the management of infrastructure and applications across multiple data centers and public clouds.

Using Google Distributed Cloud, customers can migrate or modernize applications and process data locally with Google Cloud services, including databases, machine learning, data analytics and container management. Customers can also leverage third-party services from leading vendors in their own dedicated environment.

Google envisions four deployment scenarios for its Distributed Cloud Edge:

Many of todays Google Next announcements build on Googles relationships with partners, like chipmakers Intel and NVIDIA, equipment vendors including Cisco, Dell, HPE, and NetApp, and telecom equipment specialist Ericsson.

Google Distributed Cloud supports Ericssons vision of the network becoming a platform of innovation, enabling companies across the ecosystem to deliver the applications of the future the way they need to, unlocking the full potential of 5G and edge, said Rishi Bhaskar, Vice President and Head of Hyperscale Cloud Providers for Ericsson North America.

Distributed Cloud Hosted is designed to address data sovereignty concerns, especially for customers in Europe, where the European Unions GDPR privacy regulations are boosting demand for cloud technology that can keep workloads within national borders. Google can now team with local partners to provide compliant hosted solutions for public-sector customers and companies with strict data residency, security or privacy requirements.

Google Distributed Cloud Hosted does not require connectivity to Google Cloud at any time to manage infrastructure, services, APIs, or tooling, and uses a local control plane provided by Anthos for operations. The service will be available in preview in the first half of 2022.

Two of the first partnerships are with T-Systems in Germany and OVHcloud in France.

T-Systems and Google Cloud share a common goal of developing cloud-based solutions for European governments and enterprises that meet their digital sovereignty, sustainability and economic objectives, said Frank Strecker, Senior Vice President Global Cloud Computing & Big Data and Edge, T-Systems. Together we will offer a sovereign cloud solution for customers in Germany that gives them peace of mind to meet their rapidly evolving data, operational, and software sovereignty requirements.

Why a Key Google Cloud Product Ended Up Generating Less Than 0.1% of Revenue – The Information

October 17, 2021 | Author: admin

Three months after becoming CEO of Google Cloud, Thomas Kurian tried to shake up the cloud market and gain an edge on his bigger rivals, Amazon and Microsoft. He launched a service called Anthos to make it easier for businesses to host their websites and applications in private data centers and on Google Cloud as well as in clouds operated by Amazon and othersall at the same time.

The move appeared to make sense. The top two Google Cloud customers by revenue, Snap and Apple, had already adopted a multicloud approach, hosting their data and apps across several different public cloud providers rather than relying on one firm alone. Other big companies using Amazon Web Services and Microsoft had also done so.

The catch with Googles Anthos service is that it requires customers to deploy a more sophisticated approach to developing their business applications and managing data, one that suits younger firms better than older enterprises. As it has turned out, relatively few new customers were able to adopt this approach or interested in trying it with Anthos.
