    Disable Gemini on Android
    
    Do not allow Gemini to have access to your apps like WhatsApp by disabling Gemini’s app connections.
    
    Disable the Gemini app
    
    Go to Settings > Apps
    
    Disable Gemini app
    
    This disables Gemini completely. If you only want to stop Gemini from accessing other apps on your phone, you can take the following steps.
    
    Steps to disable Gemini app connections:
    
    Open the Gemini app from your Android device
    
    Click on your profile in the top right corner
    
    Open Apps
    
    Click to toggle off each app extension
    
    If you’d like to use Gemini but without it storing your prompts in My Activity and using it to “provide, improve, develop, and personalize” Google products and AI models, you will need to go to your Android settings and turn off Gemini Apps Activity. Even with this setting turned off, it’s important to note that Google will still store your activity with Gemini for up to 72 hours. According to Google, it implements this temporary storage of your data for security, safety, and user feedback.
    
    Steps to turn off Gemini App Activity:
    
    Open the Gemini app from your Android device
    
    Click on your profile in the top right corner
    
    Go to Gemini Apps Activity
    
    Here you can turn the activity off
    
    Deinstall Gemini
    
    Alternatively, you can uninstall Gemini from your Android using dev tools on a desktop PC. To deinstall Gemini (or previously Bard), the ID is: com.google.android.apps.bard
    
















  • This. Some people don’t realise how ridiculously easy it is to change a lock when you can open the door with a key.

    1. Put the working key into the lock

    2. Undo this screw

    1. Turn the key slightly back and forth whilst pulling the cylinder out until it starts to come out. Then just pull it all out.

    2. Mark which side was front and back

    3. Measure from the middle locking mechanism of the cylinder to the ends.

    4. Find a lock with the same lengths. It’ll be like 60/40 (100mm total length).

    6b. Optional: get one with a fixed turnkey on the inside.

    1. Replace lock by reverse.
