No dude, if it’s not Foss gtfo. Not touching some hidden code thanks

I run stock android with a DNS which allows me to block network connection for any and all services, I find this is the best way. You can block almost everything while still allowing functionality of things you need

You are an idiot.

I have spoken

Rethink DNS.

I’m running stock android for work reasons, Rethink is awesome

100% agree. I have 2FA on everything, passkeys are definitely a downgrade

That’s madness, I was literally about to donate to him today but I check the site you’re absolutely correct. No donations :(

I haven’t seen this warning in 6 years

Opsec is my second favourite word

If you want privacy, SMS definitely isn’t private…

I cannot understand why people still use SMS in 2024, it makes zero sense to me

It’s all Safari dude, they’re all the same. I use Brave on iOS it works fine, blocks ads

I use Firefox, and have Brave installed incase I encounter a site that breaks. I havent had to use Brave yet because I never encountered any sites that break …

Telegram as a note taking app?.. Now that’s one I haven’t heard before

This is so true. I feel personally responsible

Nope, I use Firefox

I doubt it. Normies love chrome, and the majority of normies don’t even know about ad blockers. Chrome will continue unfortunately

Please leave this conversation, because you’re probably the only user who goes over 100 tabs. Normal people have about 10 open just for your reference

Fair point

What happens in 20 years when you need a new car and all of them have connectivity, even the oldest second hand ones?

Yup this is true

Oh yeah I do that by default, if the URL is too long with random stuff at the end I remove what I can without breaking the link

I have no idea how to clean a URL and honestly I’m not interested in cleaning every URL I send.

Uhm, yeah why are we even comparing the two? Definitely isn’t a discussion. Signal is superior

Are you running Lineage on a Samsung? I have an a34 and I’m trying to find a custom ROM

Agreed, this is the only way. Multiple accounts for an elderly person is not going to work.

Thunderbird, and unsubscribe to everything that enters. That’ll cut your spam in half at least

Uhm, no

Ahh imagine carrying on one side for too long, the back pain…

Maybe I could also look into hiring someone to carry the setup for me, that way I can have even more peace of mind knowing I’m protecting my health and my data! /s

It would give me enough time to remotely wipe the device before they can remove the SIM would it not?

Uhm, I don’t care about the device or the SIM card?.. I care about my data, and I care about remotely wiping the device before they can try access the device if they are even trying to access it in the first place?

Sure they can turn it off, but if I activate the command to wipe the device the command will execute as soon as the device is powered on.

This is not the case if they remove the SIM. If they remove the SIM the connect is lost and the device can remain on and be tampered with, with my data still entact.

I don’t “keep asking for proof” I literally asked in one comment? You seem very angry about people asking questions online, maybe you should do some introspection or something idk

I have a SIM pin… how does having a SIM pin stop them from taking the device offline by removing the SIM?..

Not in my country lol, they’re not that smart

This is the best tip so far. Thank you so much!

I’m on a Samsung A34 using a passphrase to unlock, I’m not sure it gets stronger than that? Unless there’s something I’m missing

Source? Because I have many videos as evidence showing thieves throw SIM cards out of the window of their escape vehicle, so that seems to be the common one here

Amazing, thank you! I think the super glue option will be best. The phone is water resistant as well so I don’t see the isopropyl being an issue to try loosen the super glue.

Exactly this. I’m looking to buy time not to completely bar access

This is amazing! Thank you, I will definitely be painting it closed.

This is also true, maybe there’s another non permanent way of doing this? I only need the SIM card in the device when it’s stolen long enough for me to remotely wipe the device
