### Nvidia CEO’s affair becomes a national security problem

This week's global headlines featured a startling story about how Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had an affair with a Chinese national who was suspected of being a spy. Since then, Huang has admitted to two additional affairs with Nvidia employees and resigned. While most of us are unlikely to be honeypotted by foreign intelligence, we can still take notes for ourselves about lessons like how humans are notoriously the weakest link in any tech stack, how to compartmentalize your personal and private life, and more.

### GrapheneOS Announces Pixel 11 Support Can Be Completed Now

Graphene OS announced this week that the latest Android 17 QPR2 update finally includes Memory Tagging Extension (MTE) support, making it possible for them to finish porting to the OS to Google's latest model of phones. Unfortunately, Google has so far not published the source code for Android 17 QPR2, so the Graphene OS team is unable to completely finish things until then. So for now, Pixel 11 support remains pending.

### Brave removes tracking metadata from Instagram and Facebook photos

Many readers likely know that when you take a picture, it often contains *metadata* about where it was taken, on what device, and more. Some companies though - like Meta - add additional metadata that allows them to track who you share the photo with (even when you download it and share it offline). Brave has introduced a new feature in desktop version 1.98 that strips Meta's added metadata from Instagram and Facebook, allowing you to share things privately.

[Brave removes tracking metadata from Instagram and Facebook photos | BraveStarting with desktop version 1.98, Brave automatically removes the hidden identifier Meta adds to Instagram and Facebook photos, making it harder to link the same photo across accounts and sites.![](https://www.privacyguides.org/content/images/icon/cropped-brave_appicon_release-192x192-cc5e5ded-34ea-4734-87a2-1f3ffeb54577.png)BraveShivan Kaul Sahib: VP of Privacy & Security![](https://www.privacyguides.org/content/images/thumbnail/privacy-updates-og-109cc247-3ad6-4910-8b5b-cf06aeadec4f.png)](https://brave.com/privacy-updates/40-remove-tracking-metadata/)

[The average person not caring about their online privacy is a good thingi know the title sounds crazy, but this has been my sentiment as of lately, let me elaborate. through my years of casually discussing computers, privacy, security with people in real life i noticed the total lack of care from the average joe, and i am not talking about some tech illiterate boomer, i mean actual young people, some even working in IT and cybersecurity, people DON’T care, you point out some very obvious and clear invasion of their privacy, and you are met with, “i have nothing to…![](https://www.privacyguides.org/content/images/icon/50d23e21c43962bb12c02820fa3f19ac61dac917_2_32x32-5588f0bf-a0ff-4799-bca5-713c8b302f7f.png)Privacy Guides Communitychipchip![](https://www.privacyguides.org/content/images/thumbnail/4efb2e0b56f7c45bc4589cf8f63291cc82a788e8-78849923-b7bb-4b9f-975e-a8cd98ea3d07.webp)](https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/the-average-person-not-caring-about-their-online-privacy-is-a-good-thing/42106)
