The Not-So-Pretty Side of Big Tech

on
Most of us grow up thinking that the things we buy and store online are ours. Games, apps, files, even the email addresses tied to our names. But big tech companies like Microsoft remind us that nothing in their ecosystem really belongs to us. Recently, Microsoft suspended my Outlook account. They claimed that my OneDrive contained “child porn.”  Let me be clear: I download adult videos from the open web. I am not a pedophile. Yet Microsoft’s algorithms, terms of service, and opaque enforcement systems flagged my content as illegal, locked me out of my account, and informed me that I cannot appeal for six months. When you use Microsoft services, you’re not really buying a product; you’re renting access.

Enable DUMP permission in Wavelet

on


Enhanced session detection

Disclaimer: Enhanced session detection is experimental and available only for Android 10 and up.
If you choose to activate enhanced session detection, Wavelet will actively listen for music sessions instead of relying on being notified when a session starts. The DUMP permission is required to allow Wavelet to filter the required information from the device system services needed to attach and release audio effects to audio sessions. The advantage of enhanced session detection is that there is no need to depend on other applications opening and closing their audio sessions properly, which means it should work properly with every media session.

Instructions to activate enhanced session detection:

  • Activate developer options and enable USB debugging on your device as instructed on https://developer.android.com/studio/debug/dev-options
    • On Xiaomi devices, it is mandatory to enable USB debugging (Security Settings)
    • On Realme and OPPO devices, it is mandatory to disable permission monitoring under settings - security center

Visit this website with your phone plugged into USB cable connected to the PC 

Tap on add and select your device in the panel 

You'll need to allow adb access in the confirmation dialogue on the phone

Navigate to interactive shell and copy/paste the following 

pm grant com.pittvandewitt.wavelet android.permission.DUMP


Also enable notification access in notification listener
