Sound like a creepy sci-fi movie?
Your phone number and home address are visible to strangers as you walk by on the street.
It's actually Meta's new Camera Glasses with AI facial recognition. These new glasses appear to be regular sunglasses, but... under the surface, they record video, and allow that to be hooked up to AI. [1]
A few Harvard students, with practically no budget, hooked this data up to a people finder database. This was used to instantly doxx people walking around the campus in real time. Further, using People Finder databases, it can display to the person wearing the glasses, someone's home address and phone number, as they walk by in public. [2]
Once again, I encourage our readers to consider VoIP, keep the number out of databases, and trying to minimize what real information is public. You have to assume it will be abused.

A cheap strategy could be to change phone number every year or two...
Thanks for posting. I was trying to find this again after losing it since a few years ago.
I had a large box (ebay purchase) once stolen from our driveway. Kids found it on a side street later. Thief abandoned it once he saw the encyclopaedia inside.
Security is not everything. GNU #Linux provides a good balance between freedom, #privacy and security.
Have you checked out Laptop with Linux?
Vote harder and change (yourself) and others definitely need to trade places.

If you like freedom, I suggest getting a device which supports installing an #OpenSource operating system like #degoogled Android or #Linux.
Yes, their Wiki has everything. After the initial configuration is complete, just type setup-desktop and it will let you select and install a DE: Gnome, KDE, XFCE, etc.

Great episode. Can you please do one on mitigating the harm from imsi catchers/stingrays?
Technical content like that gets out of date pretty quickly...
VSCode is Microsoft with telemetry. Maybe replace with VSCodium?
The easy webusb flashing requires Google Chrome last I read. Not Chromium, Brave or Firefox. Not Chrome flatpak or snap. Chrome from Google giving it same privileges as native system apps.
Google control of AOSP. Sort of like a Chromium based browsers...
That being said I do love and appreciate what both GrapheneOS and Brave are doing.
