Need some #tech help. Remember Google Music? Great service that #Google shut down like they do all great services. I had about 50 GB of #music on it that I downloaded it but Google being Google, they files are all mixed up in the most stupid way possible. I was manually fixing it with Music Bee but it is really annoying.
Does anyone know any good simple #software that can fix my music files easily? We are thinking about dropping #Spotify and I want to listen to my music!

Som forsker irriterer det mig, at jeg hele tiden sidder og laver søgninger i Google Scholar. Uden i øvrigt at være fanatisk ville jeg gerne have et brugbart alternativ. Forslag?

Android: Sideloading unverifizierter Apps wird aufwändiger
Android-Apps können offenbar auch ohne Entwickler-Verifizierung bei Google per Sideload installiert werden. Der Ablauf soll aber aufwändiger werden als bisher.

#Google is hosting a Customs and Border Protection (#CBP) app that uses #facialrecognition to identify #immigrants, while simultaneously removing apps designed to warn communities about #ICE officials. This decision has been criticised as supporting the #Trump administration’s #massdeportation efforts. https://www.404media.co/google-has-chosen-a-side-in-trumps-mass-deportation-effort/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

The future of #AI chat bots is here folks. But honestly, I would not be surprised when (not if) #Google does the same thing for the free tier.

This was the only logical #AI option for Apple.
👉🏾 #Apple picks #Google's Gemini to run AI-powered Siri coming this year https://www.cnbc.com/2026/01/12/apple-google-ai-siri-gemini.html
#ChatGPT by #OpenAI is popular, but does not have direct access to a deep well of free information.
#Grok by #X is too controversial due to its unrestrained photo-altering tech (for people—they seem to place limits on certain flags).
Also, Apple has a strong business relationship with Google (they are best frenemies).

OK, I knew Apple was joining other tech companies and forging ahead with AI-ifying. This news still made me sad. Apple, you just gave me one more reason I won't be upgrading to iOS 26 (or macOS 26).

Can someone in the loop clue me up on what the latest is with GrapheneOS? I’m potentially getting a Pixel 10 as a business phone in the next week and I’d love to know if it’s still viable. I know there were some uncertainties recently due to Google shenanigans and a crucial developer no longer being around, but heard nothing further? Boosts appreciated if you’re within that sort of circle

Not surprising at this point.

Google is desperate for #Gemini3 uptake. Have a discount, share it with five other people! Please! We made this fountain of heroin for you all! Why won’t you suckle at our scabrous leperous teat… please!
I wish bankruptcy for #Google. I wish bankruptcy for #Alphabet.
I wish for them to die in a hot fire while we celebrate the flames. When the burn is done, we’ll extinguish the last embers with a stream of urine. Be gone, Google. We banish you.

In den USA können Google und Character.ai wohl unangenehme Gerichtsverhandlungen um Jugendliche abwenden, die sich oder andere nach KI-Chats verletzt haben.
