Religion is about control and people exploiting this are 100% sane and know exactly what they're doing. That's the scary part.

The $2,000 Phones

So, just regular phones then.

I totally used an adapter like that. It did have a raspberry pi in the middle, though.

It's "all your mail is now redirected to a third party that makes money by mining it for data without you knowing" level of nastiness. Absolutely deplorable and a reason to never touch anything made by the people behind Brave even with a ten foot pole. Brave is a scam and why people pretend its not is beyond me.

Well, personally I could do without and if it reduces costs I'm for it. Raspberry pi was always about being cheap.

excuse me?? I’m being honest and truthful

That's unfortunate because your posts make you look very dishonest. In one post you are unfamiliar with basic topics and in the next you seem to be well informed about some of their obscure failed projects.

If you're not a paid actor then you're someone who just likes to provoke people online which makes you an asshole as well.

Indeed that would make more sense.

Buying a phone that is able to store your music locally is definitely a solution

So, Google is now in charge of image ownership. Cool

Actually it won't because they will never let it happen.

Hear me out: All three will fight a hungry 600 kg polar bear instead.

Looks like imgur is selective to whom it serves NSFW content then. I was able to view that uncensored image.

Not really. Because of androids sandboxed nature "anti-virus" apps are not very effective and are mainly there to give you a false sense of security in exchange of some money.

Just assume every closed source application to be adversarial and don't bother installing it on a personal device.

The function of an ad is to manipulate your behavior. If an implant can do this directly ads aren't needed anymore.

This. I own a Mojang account because I paid for minecraft (I thought) and I cannot play anymore because apparently I bought an account and not a game.

They're apprehending ALL of your browsing activity to their lucky vpn provider of choice.

But you don't. Because you don't.

Nobody does. Windows is closed source and its inner working is a trade secret. This means you cannot know how to lock down windows. Of course there are best practices based on info from microsoft or people who know a thing or two about info sec but it's all guess work and/or trusting the developer by its blue eyes.

Sorry for the late reply but I'd just like to warn you that it doesn't take a lot of effort. It takes some time, some knowledge of programming, electronics and communication protocols and a few hundred $$$ of equipment. DIY cell phone tower

The baseband firmware on your phone has access to all hardware resources and can be modified over the cellular connection without your cooperation or knowledge.

Looks good, thanks for the tip. Personally I like Herrie by Ed Schouten.

A Spanish version of the message will be displayed depending on the language settings of the devices.

To me this is the most disturbing line from this post. How can the sender of a message probe your phone's settings? What other information can be queried from the device this way? Can we now remotely determine someone ethnicity from just a phone number?
