Comment on Chrome using Gemini Nano for ‘Enhanced Protection’ against scams

People love it though. Or they hate technology. Anything but hating corporations and the rich that gives them that sweet sweet dopamine

Not sure if I’m missing something here, but that scans ports on the localhost, it is not a port scan of your entire network. While that’s still crazy and not something you want, it’s not quite what you initially said, and I don’t believe they’d be able to scan outside of your machine

I think the principle could be applied to scan outside of the machine, but that’s an untested theory I have. I’ll edit this comment to expand on this when I give it a go.
