About an hour ago, I heard a strange noise outside and looked through my window to see some light moving in the grass. I did a quick recording from my phone but it was blurry because the camera kept focusing on the mosquito net, so I grabbed my headlamp to go outside to investigate.
It turns out my landlord got a real fancy lawnmower robot that was almost completely silent moving the lawn.
I go back in to watch some Youtube videos. About half an hour in, a lot of whacky channels start popping up recommending me videos of UFO sightings.
Coincidence or is it because I made a video with blurry lights while saying "What is this?"
I lean towards the first option because I avoid pseudo science channels like the plague and I didn't give the algorhythm any starting point. You know, like when you accidentally watch a basketball video and the whole feed turns into basketball until you train it that you're not a basketball Fan to make them go away.
Now I have to do that with all the UFO videos and weirdly enough sasquatch that got into the mix as well.
I think I have to degooglefy way more serious than I already do. I always have camera and mic deactivated in the system unless I get a call or take a picture/video, so I should be good during the day. I do that for over a year now and the coincidential recommendations that mimic some random stuff you talked about a couple hours earlier stopped completely. But sometimes I need those functions and I don't like some company using it for evil.
Screenshot of the first Video I took:
I didnt upload a video, I just made one on my Android phone
the media itself doesnt get uploaded. the google app analises the file, and sends the basic data
Do you have google photo cloud sync?
Doesn't that automatically back it up to Google's servers in most cases?
