there will come a time when the old button Nokia will be paid for with gold🥹 Good thing there are already and will continue to be developed applications on opensource
BlackBerry would be my pick 🥹
Fuck google! We need better mobile device options! I know about roms, but having two core OS' options (apple/android) is bleak.
And since all traffic flows through Israel, they'll be watching you goyim
Graphene OS solves this 😉
No it does not
yeah bro
it does.
where do you think the code is running that pings its servers?
Lame gaslighting attempt, idiot. You're suggesting I can't know anything about cybersecurity because I'm not a hardware auditor from the future with detailed knowledge of what exact circuits perform what exact functions.
2 flaws with your suggestion:
1. An experienced level of expertise in hardware auditing is not required for a layman to use critical thinking to understand cybersecurity issues.
2. No individual on Earth can currently give a comprehensive, universal answer to your question for all current phones. If there is ever an answer to your question, it will be a retroactive answer - applying to the phones of today when they are outdated, with the question being answered in the future about the phones of then's past. Hardware security auditors do not instantly figure out everything about the functionality of every device on the market the day it's released.
wow
that's a lot of word salad to just say
"I'm talking out my ass"
impressive
Wow, that's a shallow attempt to fake engagement while continuing to just thoughtlessly gaslight me.
Pathetic - except I actually mean it when I say "pathetic," unlike you injecting sarcasm in the idea of being impressed with my intellect.
To be clearer about my other reply -
Flaw 1 is the essential core flaw, because even you were using some information I don't have to make an appeal to authority, the appeal to authority would still be a logical fallacy that basically changes the subject while only pretending to address what I said.
Flaw 2 is only a side point, because even if you're into appeals to authority, your question isn't actually hinting at any information I'm missing, it's only hinting at your own self ignoring basic knowledge.
More info since my other reply isn't so helpful:
You might be able to mitigate this stuff somewhat with hardware kill switches like you'd get in a PinePhone, along with the far lower amount of bundled Google software in those phones.
The hardware kill switches are only a maybe. They might make a difference, or they might make none, since there are plenty of other ways to track you. Ultimately, a database with accurate record of every location you visit (and when) is a database with accurate record of every location you visit (and when), regardless of where it gets its data.
GrapheneOS makes no difference whatsoever to how much your phone is tracking you. It might make a difference to how the data is accessed by the deep state, but it doesn't do anything about the underlying problem of your phone using its on-board capabilities to provide these location reports.
