Says “up to”. It will probably come with 2TB, but they are happy to put in more if you want to pay for extra. But 40TB is when they start to refuse your unreasonable requests.

This link proves how robust the security research is and how quickly bugs like that are patched.

While these bugs happen, they are fixed very quickly, and wouldn’t be used by any marketing agency. Just keep your phone updated.

Comments like this try to make you give up on privacy by making it look like all is lost from the get to.

They are lying, don’t believe them, there is a lot you can do to protect your privacy.

That helps with other dangers, but in this case all you need to do is not give “Pool 3D” access to the microphone, no rooting required.

Yeah, and all I said is you can do tracking without them, as you confirmed, so I don’t know what you are disagreeing with.

No

Yes, you can do tracking without displaying any buttons, I don’t know what to tell you.

Yeah, but you can do the same tracking without actually displaying any buttons, so the point stands.

I thought it’s going to link to Tesseract

And he’s absolutely right.

Your answer to “how to harden SSH?” is “harden SSH”?

I know your two other points gave concrete suggestions, but it’s pretty funny you suggested to “harden sshd” when that is what OP is asking how to do.

Yes, what’s your point? Airplane mode turns off the cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. You can then turn Wi-Fi and Bluetooth back on if you choose to, which only leaves the cellular network disabled.

I don’t know your threat model, but if airplane mode is not enough, then I wouldn’t trust wrapping it in tinfoil either, as that would be less reliable. There are of course better ways than both of these methods. Like leaving your phone home.

I’ve never had a phone that keeps Bluetooth or Wi-Fi on when enabling airplane mode, but sure, if yours does that then of course also disable them separately.

Airplane mode is supposed to stop any radio transmission from your device. GPS does not transmit anything, so there is no reason to disable it.

So does, you know, airplane mode

Informative article, but damn the clickbait

If he didn’t mean it it would be very simple to at the very least post a tweet afterwards saying he’s sorry for the misunderstanding and that he didn’t mean it to look thay way. Like any innocent person would do in that situation.

The fact he didn’t shows all you need to know.

Do you have any evidence pointing at that? So far it seems SafetyCore is a local-only service that despite all the uproar no researchers actually found doing anything suspicious.

And the only thing I hate more than Google is misinformation and fearmongering.

Yeah, it is. It’s such an extraordinary claim.

One requiring extraordinary evidence that wasn’t provided.

“It’s doing amazing hacks to access everything and it’s so good at it it’s undetectable!” Right, how convenient.
