They can not recieve firmware updates. They are always provided by the OEM

Yes, a pro just needs some sand and a lighter and a needle

I disagree, I am under 50 and wear an analog wristwatch every day, but if I want to know the time I just look on my phone.

Those numbers only include instances that have telemetry enabled

Ublock origin + sponsor block on desktop, ReVanced on Android and SmartTube on Android TV, no ads.

Probably not the best for focus on privacy but you can avoid ads

Sorry should habe clarified, I know shit about US politics. I’m from Europe.

You are comparing basic addition with extremely complex social economics. You can’t just do A and guarantee B will happen. But if B actually happens it can be good for one group of people and bad for another one. Often the best solution is some kind of compromise. That said there surely can be some obviously bad ideas.

You mean I can backup my 20tb NAS on QR codes?

Sometimes I need to print out stuff for my grandmother

I use a private room in my Matrix instance

I just add the printer on my phone and print over the network

But this is the 3rd post

I broke a hinge myself that way, learned it the hard way

Did you open it without the backplate on?

Anyways this is crappy anti consumer design by the manufacturer.

Did the same in school on a Z80

You can check the SponsorBlock FAQ about this. They do not need to do additional reprocessing

I’m prette sure they have to send the metadata to the client where an ad starts and ends. Just to make the ad clickable.

Timestamps can be calculated on the server, but maybe there will be an api endpoint that can be abused to search for the ads.

The encryption on Android devices is pretty strong, as long as you use a good screen lock you should be fine. Yes they can reset you phone, but accessing your data is a whole other level.

If I had illegal shit on my phone, I wouldn’t send it to apple servers by using an iPhone. They are the first who would comply with a surpena. I’d use GrapheneOS on a Pixel and use an obvious duress pin like 1234. If entered it wipes your encryption keys and avoids restoring your data.

And if it gets stolen, it is gone and I’d get a new one. This is the cost of having proper opsec.

Edit:

But I also think that freedom allows for more exploits.

This is a common misconception called security through obscurity
