How to disable Gemini on Android, Gmail, Chrome, Photos, & Google apps. Opt out of AI tracking now!
Earlier this year, we warned you to turn off Gemini on Android because Google decided that its AI would have access to its users' apps - even if they had previously turned tracking for Gemini Apps Activity off. So regardless of whether you told Google’s Gemini not to track you in the past, its AI tool might be able to run tasks like send WhatsApp messages, set timers, and even make calls on your Android device. Worryingly, Google's AI invasion does not stop there. Now, Google has turned on settings like smart features, without your consent, and Gemini can scan your Gmail emails, Photos, Drive, and other apps. In this guide, we show you how to turn off Gemini on Android and all your Google apps – Gmail, Chrome, Photos, and more. Protect your privacy and your data from invasive AI tracking!

Moram zamijetit da razvaljivanje AI-ja poezijom zvuči dosta… poetično.
❗ Researchers say they’ve found a universal “jailbreak” for top AI models, through poetry. A new study shows that rephrasing harmful prompts as short poems can bypass safety filters across all major models, raising questions over AI Act compliance.

“Zločesta EU samo komplicira živote”
Longer‑lasting, repairable smartphones are now a thing in the EU! Since 20 June 2025, EU rules require smartphones and tablets to meet strict ecodesign and repairability standards, with mandatory labels showing battery life, charging cycles, repair-score, durability, and water/dust protection.
Here's how longer-lasting smartphones will soon become a reality
New EU rules mean longer-lasting smartphones and tablets will soon become a reality as well as being more easily repairable.
