How to install NewPipe on Android

NewPipe is a YouTube replacement client for Android devices. It's open-source (meaning, you can see all of their code as you please), privacy-oriented, lightweight, and supports features that are normally locked behind a YouTube Premium paywall.

Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with NewPipe, YouTube, Android, Google, Alphabet Inc, or any other brand or name mentioned here. I made this guide to help my friends who were curious.

NewPipe's Website: https://newpipe.net/

The GitHub Repository

Step 0. Compatibility check

Make sure you're running an Android device! This won't work on an Apple device of any kind! Also, for those more tech-savvy among you, if you have the F-Droid store installed, you can download NewPipe straight from there!

Step 1. Downloading

Go to NewPipe's Github repo (repository, the codebase or where all of the code is stored). Scroll to the bottom of the page until you see "Releases". Click on the one that says "Latest" next to it in a little green bubble:

Your version number (v#...) will be different if you're reading this in the future! That's okay. Scroll past the changelog (unless you want to read it!) until you find "Assets":

Click on the first one, the one with the little cube ending in .apk. APK files are Android Package (Kit) and are the main format for downloading apps. Once you click on the link, it should begin downloading or your browser will ask you to confirm that you want to download this file. You should always verify the filename matches what you expect it to be (namely, the file format) before attempting to install! It might take a few moments for the file to download depending on your internet connection.

Step 2. Installation

Once you have the file downloaded, you can click the download popup in your notification bar or find the file in your device's file system. One of 2 things will happen:

You will get a popup asking if you want to install an APK by the name of NewPipe - confirm that you do (and make sure the app is really NewPipe!) and it will install automatically. You can then click "Open" to open the app and begin using it.

You will get a popup warning you that you have the ability to install apps from unknown sources disabled and that you can't install this. This is normal and does not mean that you downloaded the wrong thing.

If you got the first popup, continue past this step. For those of you who got the second, let's go over what this means.

By default, most Androids have this setting disabled. This is for security purposes, so you can't accidentally install a malicious app from the whole internet. If you enable this setting (allow installations from unknown/unsigned sources), you are theoretically putting yourself at risk. Realistically, you're probably fine. But, after installing NewPipe, you can always re-disable the setting if it makes you more comfortable. That will prevent you from installing updates in the future, but it can always be re-enabled.

Ready to turn that setting on? It will vary by your individual device! Some devices will take you directly to the page with the setting upon failed installation, and some you will just have to find it yourself using the searchbar in settings.

Once you've allowed installations from unknown sources (wording may vary slightly), try to repeat the steps above of clicking the download popup or finding the APK in your files and trying to install it. It should work correctly this time!

Step 3. Updating NewPipe

Like most apps, NewPipe is in development currently and frequently has new versions released to improve it and fix bugs. Unlike most apps, NewPipe needs to be manually updated, since we haven't downloaded through the Google Play store.

To update NewPipe, all you have to do is follow the above steps for installing the app, except that when you get the popup asking to install it, it will instead say "Update". That's it! NewPipe and Android handle the rest.

NewPipe also has popup notifications for when the app has a new update, so you don't have to worry about checking the GitHub for a new release. Just click on the "A new version is available" popup and it should take you directly to the webpage.

That's it! Enjoy browsing videos in peace without ads and with the ability to download and so much more. Pro tip: you can copy paste YouTube links into the NewPipe search bar to go directly to that video/playlist/channel.

How to check if your computer is being monitored

In today's digital age, the issue of privacy and security is more pressing than ever. Whether you’re a casual user or a professional, understanding if your computer is being monitored is crucial. This guide will delve into the signs of monitoring, tools to detect it, and steps to safeguard your privacy.

Understanding Computer Monitoring

Before diving into the signs and detection methods, it’s essential to understand what computer monitoring entails. Monitoring can involve tracking your online activity, keystrokes, file access, and even webcam usage. This can be done by malicious software (malware), spyware, or legitimate monitoring software used by employers or parents.

Types of Monitoring

Malware and Spyware: These are malicious programs that can be installed without your knowledge. They can track your activities and send data back to an attacker.

Keyloggers: This type of software records keystrokes, capturing sensitive information like passwords and personal messages.

Remote Access Tools (RATs): These tools allow someone to control your computer remotely, monitoring your screen, accessing files, and even using your webcam.

Legitimate Monitoring Software: Often used in corporate environments, this software tracks employee activity for productivity or compliance reasons. While legal, it can still infringe on personal privacy.

Signs That Your Computer May Be Monitored

Recognizing the signs that your computer might be monitored is the first step in protecting yourself.

1. Unusual System Behavior

Slow Performance: If your computer suddenly becomes sluggish, it might be due to monitoring software consuming resources.

Frequent Crashes or Freezes: Unexpected system crashes can indicate underlying issues, including malware.

2. Suspicious Programs

Unknown Applications: Check your installed programs for any unfamiliar applications. Many monitoring tools disguise themselves as legitimate software.

High Resource Usage: Use the Task Manager (Windows) or Activity Monitor (Mac) to look for processes consuming excessive CPU or memory.

3. Network Activity

Unexplained Network Traffic: Use network monitoring tools to check for unusual data being sent or received. High outbound traffic could indicate that data is being transmitted without your consent.

Blocked Ports: Monitoring software often uses specific ports to communicate. If you notice blocked ports that you didn’t configure, it could be a red flag.

4. Webcam and Microphone Behavior

Indicator Light Activation: If your webcam or microphone is being accessed without your knowledge, the indicator light may be on even when you're not using it.

Unexpected Recordings: Check for unusual files that could be recordings made by your microphone or webcam.

5. Browser Behavior

Unusual Browser Extensions: Check for extensions you didn’t install. Some can track your browsing activity.

Unexpected Redirects: Frequent redirects to strange sites or altered search results can indicate tracking.

6. Security Alerts

Antivirus Notifications: If your antivirus software frequently alerts you about threats, it may indicate that monitoring software is present.

Firewall Alerts: Unusual outgoing connection attempts can suggest that an unauthorized program is trying to access the internet.

Tools to Detect Monitoring Software

If you suspect that your computer is being monitored, several tools can help you investigate further.

1. Antivirus and Anti-Malware Software

Using a reliable antivirus or anti-malware program can help detect and remove malicious software. Some popular options include:

Malwarebytes: Excellent for detecting and removing malware and spyware.

Norton: Offers comprehensive protection against various types of threats.

2. Network Monitoring Tools

Tools like Wireshark can help analyze network traffic and identify suspicious activity. You can monitor data packets to see if there are any unexpected connections.

3. Task Manager / Activity Monitor

Regularly check the Task Manager (Windows) or Activity Monitor (Mac) for processes that look unfamiliar or suspicious. Research any questionable applications before taking action.

4. System Scans

Use built-in tools to perform system scans:

Windows Defender: Run a full scan for malware and spyware.

Mac’s Built-in Security Features: Use the Malware Removal Tool for additional scanning.

5. Firewall Monitoring

Make sure your firewall is active and monitor logs for any unusual activity. A firewall can block unauthorized access attempts and alert you to potential threats.

Steps to Protect Your Privacy

If you determine that your computer is being monitored or you want to prevent it from happening, follow these steps to enhance your security.

1. Update Your Software Regularly

Keeping your operating system and all software up-to-date ensures that you have the latest security patches. This reduces vulnerabilities that can be exploited by monitoring tools.

2. Use Strong Passwords

Implement strong, unique passwords for all your accounts and devices. Consider using a password manager to generate and store complex passwords securely.

3. Enable Two-Factor Authentication

Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second form of verification, making unauthorized access much more difficult.

4. Install a Firewall

Ensure you have a firewall activated, whether it’s built-in (like Windows Firewall) or third-party. This helps control incoming and outgoing network traffic.

5. Be Cautious with Downloads

Avoid downloading software from untrusted sources, as this can introduce malware to your system. Always verify the legitimacy of software before installing it.

6. Regularly Review Permissions

Check application permissions on your device regularly. Revoke access for any apps that do not need to access your camera, microphone, or location.

7. Use a VPN

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) encrypts your internet connection, making it difficult for anyone to monitor your online activities.

8. Educate Yourself

Stay informed about the latest cybersecurity threats and best practices. Knowledge is your best defense against monitoring.

When to Seek Professional Help

If you suspect your computer is being monitored and cannot identify or remove the software yourself, consider seeking professional help. Cybersecurity experts can perform a thorough analysis of your system and provide tailored solutions.

Conclusion

Understanding if your computer is being monitored is vital for protecting your privacy. By recognizing the signs, utilizing detection tools, and implementing security measures, you can safeguard your personal information. Remember, vigilance is key in the ever-evolving landscape of digital security. Stay informed, proactive, and secure in your online presence.

FYI: Not anywhere near a complete solution: but I run an app called Little Snitch on my Mac that warns me when a program unexpectedly tries to use the internet. (I can set which apps have permission, with granularity down to specific tcp/ip port numbers).

It's a bit technical to use, and requires some setup; but it does catch (and prevent) situations when some app unexpectedly tries to pull something. (Believe it runs on Windows as well as the Mac.)

I believe everything should be offline, I believe that every time something that is not your internet browser (and I'm being generous here) should have a big red alert that says THIS PIECE OF SHIT PROGRAM NEEDS TO CONNECT TO THE INTERNET AND REQUESTS YOUR CONSENT TO DO THIS SPECIFIC THING, and you had to touch a big red button and it would disconnect as soon as you close it.

I haven’t really seen any of the more recent U.S. election news hitting tumblr yet so here’s some updates (now edited with sources added):

There’s evidence of Trump cheating and interfering with the election.

Possible Russian interference.

Mail-in ballots are not being counted or “recognized” in multiple (notably swing) states.

30+ bomb threats were called in and shut down polling stations on Election Day.

20+ million votes are still unaccounted for, and that’s just to have the same voter turnout as 2020.

There was record voter turnout and new/first-time voter registration this year. We definitely should be well over the turnout in 2020.

U.S. citizens are using this site to demand, not only a recount, but a complete investigation into election fraud and interference for the reasons stated above:

Here is what I submitted as an example:

An investigation for election interference and fraud is required. We desperately need a recount or even a revote. The American people deserve the right to a free and fair election. There has been evidence unveiled of Trump cheating and committing election fraud which is illegal. There is some evidence of possible Russian interference. At least 30+ bomb threats were called in to polling places. Multiple, notably swing states, have ballots unaccounted for and voting machines not registering votes. Ballots and ballot boxes were tampered with and burned. Over 20 million votes that we know of are unaccounted for. With record turnout and new voter registration this year, there should be no possibility that there are less votes than even in the 2020 election.

Sources (working on finding more links but if anyone wants to add info, it’s appreciated):

FBI addressing Russian interference and bomb threats:

Emails released by Rachael Bellis (private account, can’t share original tweet) confirming Trump committing election fraud:

Pennsylvania's Centre County officials say they are working with their ballot scanner vendor to figure out why the county's mail-in ballot data is "not being recognized when uploaded to the elections software:”

Wisconsin recount:

[ID:

Multiple screenshots and images.

The first is a screenshot with a link and information for contacting the White House directly regarding election fraud. The instructions include choosing to leave a comment to President Joe Biden directly and to select election security as the reason.

The screenshot then instructs people to include any or all of the following information in a paragraph as a comment to the president:

32 fake bomb threats were called into Democratic leaning poll places, rendering polling places closed for at least an hour.

A lot of people reporting their ballots were not counted for various reasons.

This all occurred in swing states.

This is too coincidental that these things happen and swing in his favor after months of hinting at foul play.

Directly state that an investigation for tampering, interference, fraud is required, not just a recount.

The second image is from the FBI Twitter account that reads:

The FBI is aware of bomb threats to polling locations in several states, many of which appear to originate from Russian email domains. None of the threats have been determined to be credible thus far. https://t.co/j3YfajVK1m — FBI (@FBI) November 5, 2024

The next four Gmail screenshots of an email sent to Rachael Bellis from Chris T. Spackman that read together as follows:

Dear BELLIS, RACHAEL E., The Dauphin County Board of Elections received a challenge to your absentee ballot you applied for in the November 5, 2024 General Election. The challenge argues that a provision of the Pennsylvania Election Code takes precedence over the federal Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA), which requires states and counties to permit U.S. citizens who move overseas to vote by absentee ballot for federal offices based on their last U.S. residential address.

The full text of the challenge that was filed appears below this email.

You may respond to the challenge in any of the following ways:

1. Call the Bureau of Registration and Election at (717) 780-6360;

2. Email a statement to the Bureau at Election election@dauphincounty.gov. Any statement you submit regarding the period during which you lived in Dauphin County, any family or connections that you still have here, and why you are now residing abroad would be read into the record.

3. Appear in person at a Board of Elections hearing scheduled for Friday, November 8 at a time to be determined in the Commissioners Public Hearing Room, 4th floor of Dauphin County Administration Building, 2 S 20d St, Harrisburg, PA 17111. The meeting is also likely to be livestreamed on Facebook on the Dauphin County channel.

Sincerely,

Christopher T Spackman

TEXT OF CHALLENGE BEGINS

Dear Dauphin County Board of Elections,

I am submitting this challenge to an absentee ballot application pursuant to 25 Pa. Stat.

3146.8(f).

25 Pa. Stat. 3146.8(f) Any person challenging an application for an absentee ballot, an absentee ballot, an application for a mail-in ballot or a mail-in ballot for any of the reasons provided in this act shall deposit the sum of ten dollars ($10.00) in cash with the county board, which sum shall only be refunded if the challenge is sustained or if the challenge is withdrawn within five (5) days after the primary or election. If the challenge is dismissed by any lawful order then the deposit shall be forfeited. The county board shall deposit all deposit money in the general fund of the…

The rest of the forwarded email is cut off.

The last image is a screenshot of the official statement from the Centre County, Pennsylvania Board of Commissioners released on November 6, 2024 that states:

Centre County Working with Ballot Scanner Vendor to Export Election Results.

(Bellefonte, PA) -Centre County Elections Office is working continuously to provide mail-in ballot data in order to post unofficial results.

To this point, all ballots have been scanned, including all mail-in ballots.

Centre County's Election team and IT team have identified that the data are successfully being exported from the mail-in ballot scanners, but that the data is not being recognized when uploaded to the elections software.

Centre County's Administrator, John Franek, Jr. stated, "We have not stopped working, and we will continue to work until unofficial results are posted and reported to the Pennsylvania Department of State."

As a next step, Centre County has begun working with the equipment vendor to adjust configurations to make the two systems-the mail-in ballot scanner and the elections software where data are uploaded -compatible with one another.

We will provide updates as we make progress.

Big Data Analytics Services: Unleashing Business Intelligence at Scale

Why Big Data Analytics Matters Today

In the age of digital data has emerged as an important asset of companies. Every online activity such as a click the website to a Facebook or Twitter interaction creates information. While the internet continues to create enormous amounts of data businesses are looking for new methods to make use of this abundance of data to improve their operations, drive growth and provide more satisfying customer experiences. This influx of data frequently referred to "big data," is not merely a trend, but is a fundamental element in modern day business intelligence. Big data analytics is an integral part of the decision-making process across different sectors, changing how companies operate, anticipate trends, and invent.

The amount of data growing exponentially. As per International Data Corporation (IDC) the world's volume of data will reach an astounding 181 zettabytes by 2025. This number is expected to continue to grow. With the data generated by many sources, such as those from Internet of Things (IoT) and the social web, transactions records and customer data, companies have to face the task of analyzing and managing the data efficiently. Without the proper methods and tools to analyze the data, businesses are at risk of missing the most important information that could result in substantial improvements to their operations and services. This is the point where Big Data Analytics Services come in.

What Are Big Data Analytics Services?

Big Data Analytics Services refer to the methods, tools that are employed to collect meaningful information from large and varied datasets. These services usually encompass an array of methods and tasks, which include data ingestion, transformation of data, predictive analytics, machine learning and visualization of data. The purpose of using Big Data Analytics Services is to aid businesses in making data-driven choices by turning the raw data into actionable insights.

The most important elements in Big Data Analytics Services include:

Data Ingestion as well as ETL Pipeline Setup It is the process of removing data from different sources, then transforming it into a format that is usable and then load it onto a computer system so that it can be analysed. This is typically accomplished with ETL (Extract Transform, Load) tools and techniques such as Apache Kafka, NiFi, or AWS Kinesis.

Data Lakes and Warehouse Architecture For managing large amounts of data, companies typically use data lakes as well as data warehouses. These systems house huge quantities of data in their natural formats (in cases of lakes)) or in structured format (in cases of data warehouses) to facilitate easy accessibility and data analysis.

Advanced Analytics: Prescriptive and predictive analytics aid businesses in forecasting the future and recommend actions based upon data-driven insights. The models of Machine Learning are typically used to detect patterns and predict the outcomes.

The Visualization Tool and the Dashboard: Information is typically complicated and difficult to understand. Tools for visualizing such as Tableau, Power BI, and Looker assist businesses in presenting their data in a simple digestible format. They also provide interactive dashboards that provide instantaneous information.

AI as well as Machine Learning Model Integration: Machine learning and AI are used to study information and to predict future trends, like finding anomalies or forecasting trends for the future. These models are incorporated in the pipeline of analytics to help automate decision-making processes.

Governance Security, Governance and Compliance Enforcement As the significance of information, making sure that it is secure and compliance with laws (e.g. GDPR) is essential. Big Data Analytics Services often contain data governance strategies as well as security measures to guard sensitive data as well as ensure compliance with regulations.

Core Benefits of Big Data Analytics Services

Big Data Analytics Services provide numerous benefits to organizations which allow the organization to make smarter choices, increase efficiency, and get an edge over competitors. The main advantages are:

Smarter Decision-Making: Using the assistance of predictive models as well as real-time dashboards, business executives are able to make informed choices with the help of data-driven insights. For example, a logistics company that utilizes real-time GPS information and weather data can change routes so that they don't get delayed, which can reduce the cost of transportation and improve the speed of service delivery.

Customer-centricity at Scale Personalized experiences are becoming increasingly crucial in the consumer-facing industry. Big data allows businesses to determine their customer segments, learn about their preferences and design specific offerings or content. Based on Epsilon Research, more than 80 percent of customers will be more inclined to purchase purchases when they are offered customized experiences.

Operational Cost Savings: Through automated processes, and optimizing the use of resources, Big data analytics can assist businesses in reducing their operating costs. McKinsey estimates that businesses using big data analytics can cut their operating expenses by as much as 20% with efficient resource management, waste reduction along with process efficiency.

Fraud detection and risk reduction Financial institutions, like banks, utilize massive data analytics in order to identify fraudulent activity in real-time. The anomalies in transaction data could be detected immediately, preventing fraud and securing millions of dollars. This proactive strategy reduces security risks for financial transactions and improves the level of protection.

Improved Product Innovation through Big data plays crucial roles in the process of product development and innovation. Companies such as Netflix study the data of millions of subscribers to suggest content and determine what movies or shows to make the next. This approach based on data lets them adapt their content strategy to the preferences of their customers, thereby driving engagement and growth in subscribers.

How Big Data Analytics Impacts Different Industries

The use of big data in analytics has been revolutionizing industries through providing profound insights that can lead to more informed decisions and enhanced operational efficiency. Here's how different industries are using big data:

Industry

Big Data Use Cases

Retail & eCommerce

Individualized offers including basket analysis, dynamic pricing

Manufacturing

IoT data to help with quality control, predictive maintenance

Healthcare

Early diagnosis, patient analytics, prediction Genomics

Banking & Finance

Big Data Analytics Architecture Overview

Big data analytics usually is based on a multi-layered structure which consists of several important components that work together to gather, process, as well as analyze the data. Here's a quick outline of a typical data structure:

Information Sources: The data may be gathered from a variety of sources, such as sensors, databases and logs, social media, and much more.

Data Ingestion Tools: Software such as Apache Kafka NiFi, Apache Kafka or AWS Kinesis can be used to gather and ingest data from various sources.

ETL Pipelines Processes data and transforms by using Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) methods using tools like Talend or AWS Glue.

Storage Data are stored within data lakes and data warehouses with cloud storage solutions such as AWS S3 or Azure Data Lake.

Processing Layer The data is processed and analyzed with tools such as Apache Spark, Databricks, or Presto.

Analytic Layer: The machine Learning algorithmic and AI models are employed to gain insight and predict.

Visualization tools such as Tableau, Power BI, and Looker aid in communicating the information in a digestible and actionable format.

Challenges Faced During Implementation

Despite the many advantages from big data analytics there are a few hurdles to implement the solutions efficiently. The most frequent problems are:

Installation and infrastructure costs are high: Creating and maintaining a massive data analytics platform can be costly. But, companies can reduce the costs of these platforms by using cloud-based services, which provide cost-per-use pricing.

Team Skills Gap There are many organizations struggling to find qualified experts who are proficient in big data technology and analytics. To get around this, organizations can employ ETL consultants as well as AI experts to fill the gap in skills.

Non Conformant Data Formats Data from different sources is often in a variety of formats, which makes it hard to understand. Schema and data standardization could help to solve this problem.

Privacy Concerns for Data Due to the ever-growing quantity of sensitive information being gathered, ensuring security and compliance with laws like GDPR is crucial. Businesses can address these issues through the implementation of encryption as well as role-based access and other security measures.

Integration of Legacy Systems: Many organizations still use legacy systems that aren't compatible with the modern tools for big data. Middleware connectors and APIs can aid in integrating these systems into an analytics system.

The Role of ETL Consulting in Big Data Success

The ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) pipeline plays an important function for big data analysis. It is the way to determine how quickly data flows in a clean and reliable manner, how validated and safe information is as well as how secure it is. By constructing affordable, scalable and fully AI-ready ETL pipelines ETL experts can assist businesses improve the efficiency of their data processing processes and ensure that the data is analyzed quickly.

ETL consultants are also essential in real-time applications, such as the detection of fraud, dynamic pricing and tracking of customer sentiment.

Augmented Analytics: Artificial Intelligence-based analytics which aid in automatizing processes for generating insight and decision-making.

serverless data processing: this new trend removes the requirement for infrastructure management and allows businesses to concentrate exclusively upon data processing.

Data Mesh Architecture: A way to manage data that is not centralized that treats data as a product and is managed by teams that are specific to a particular domain.

Edge Analytics: Live analysis performed at the edges of a network which is closer to the data source like IoT devices.

Green Data Centers: as demand for analytics based on big data rises and so does the demand for eco-friendly and sustainable energy data centers.

According to Gartner more than 60% of businesses will be using augmented analytics platforms in 2026, which will help them speed up information delivery.

Big Data and AI: Better Together

Data from big data along with artificial intelligence (AI) are complementary technologies. Big data offers the huge quantities of data required for the development of AI models and AI can enhance the power of big data by automating decision-making processes as well as finding patterns that are not obvious to the naked eye.

Through the combination of big data and AI, companies can enhance their decision-making processes and deliver more personalized customer experience.
