Popular YouTuber @Mrwhosetheboss has singled out the Google Tensor G3 as a major failing of the Pixel 8 Pro. According to the YouTuber, all of the new generative AI features found on the Pixel 8 Pro cannot be processed onboard the device, but need to be off-loaded to the cloud for processing, despite Google pitching the device as being “AI-first.”
Because it’s a privacy nightmare.
Using Google products has always been a “privacy nightmare” - it’s not like this is some mega open source phone or anything it’s literally Google’s flagship. Is this really surprising? Playing with fire gets you burned.
Googles phones are the easiest to de-google surprisingly
And if you do, they won’t upload your stuff to the cloud anymore.
But if you use Google’s OS and services, you really shouldn’t be surprised they upload your data to Google.
I’m not surprised at all, I’ve been trying to not use googles services for years
Wait - is that praise or criticism?
both! some people want Google’s features and don’t care about privacy.
In what way ? Everything you do on phone Google has access to and therefore any govt body as well.
Privacy on a phone is a myth unless you use a modded phone
