They are finally acting brave

I am all in on testing these devices and improving waay before they recommend fully giving into AI

GPG my brother

Just remove SIM card

You are looking for war

Decision maker in terms of how they want to pull your teeth out

Dentist is responsible for fixing teeth, if it does not involve teeth and they dont know about it, they are fine for not knowing

No not the actual dentist but his manager

“Take a screenshot every few seconds” legitimately sounds like a suggestion from a low-parameter LLM that was given a prompt like “How do I add an arbitrary AI feature to my operating system as quickly as possible in order to make investors happy?” — but more sophisticated threats are on the horizon.

Thats brutal lol

Yes and that shouldnt matter because you are not supposed to use these phones for anything other than calling when you need someone

Cookies are some data that websites store in your browser, its text arranged in key-value pair, it could contain anything.

But putting an ip address in cookie does not sound something anyone would wanna do as I dont know the purpose of such a thing

This could also refer to some ISPs that give free internet or cheap internet paid by ads, if such a thing exists already(if not it will be a thing in a few years)

These flip phones dont have anything other than a SIM card

You should consider buying a flip phone and only put in SIM card when you need it, assuming you can acquire SIM card without your name on it where you live

We have had helicoptors for all these decades

Nobody cared to use Pocket so its not surprising, btw what was that Fakespot thing?

Have you considered if secure deletion will work as expected when using SSDs or SD Card? I heard the only way to actually delete something is to fill it with gibbirish and format it

This is atleast positive

But honestly, what is your goal? If you want it to be a safe phone, just degoogle, install one of either Graphene or Calyx(dont ask me which one is better, I have no idea of either), dont install random apps you dont need, encrypt important stuff and you are good to go.

SIM tracking is another ball game, maby dont even have a SIM card. PIN lock your SIM card, only put it in your phone when you have to.

Maby put your phone in a Cement for more hardening /s
