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.

The $2,000 Phones

So, just regular phones then.

Because they can. What is the UK going to do about it? Stop trading with China?

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

Keep telling that yourself : )

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

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

Yup. I guess she mixed up Sonic and Mario. Shouldn’t affect the joke to much I guess.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

I don’t think intimate details about a person is a companies intellectual property.

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

Indeed that would make more sense.

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?

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