😆😆 good I haven’t leaved home for over a month
MAGA Supporters would be reading it 🤣
catalog3115to Ask Lemmy•If you use an app without wifi or cellular data, does that shut down the telemetry and tracking or does Apple handle that on their side so it can't be dodged?6·1 年前Yup, you are right. Phones will keep collecting data point. It will upload as soon as it gets connected. But location can still be provided near realtime via Bluetooth on newer Android and iOS devices. This will happen even if device is offline.
Scammers usually try to target 🎯 gullible people like old people. Usually people who don’t understand what’s going on.
catalog3115to Technology•EU attempt to sneak through new encryption-eroding law slammed by Signal, politiciansEnglish863·1 年前It’s highly likely that these laws will be passed because more people are voting for right wing leaders in EU, Right wing heavily supports this. If EU sets the example soon the whole world will follow.

catalog3115to Technology•Cloudflare took down our website after trying to force us to pay $120000 within 24hEnglish398·1 年前I really love cloudflare especially for my hobby projects but in this case they asked for outright Ransome. From this I learnt to keep Nameservers & domain sellers different. I am going to transfer domain away from nameserver.
I already know OP is talking about carrier unlock and I have also mentioned in my comments above. PIN unlock was just an example.
If nobody would do it. Why would company offer it? If it was indeed an anti-theft company should have informed the original owner(in their record) and should have denied any unlocking. If it was real anti-theft why would they provide app to unlock carrier.
Let me give you an example of actual anti-theft feature. Apple will not unlock iPhone, no matter how much money u try to pay. That’s an anti-theft feature. T-MOBILE has history of excess charging customers. This is plain & simple business tactics to earn more money. As OP @[email protected] told T-Mobile’s official app is dysfunctional. That app is dysfunctional, so people can’t unlock themselves.
This is not an anti-theft process. This is just way for companies to make more 💰. T-Mobile is allowing him to unlock 🔓 after he pays them some cash. It like company is happy to let anyone steal , as long as they are paid.
Oh! You have misunderstood the whole concept of privacy. I have a thought experiment for you:-
Let’s assume Microsoft is not lying 🤥. The data (screenshot) remains on device, which is passed to some AI model like Image-to-text etc. This model generates text on-device. But no where Microsoft guarantee’s that the text generated or output from those AI models won’t be sent to the Microsoft. They only say the screenshots and AI models remain on-device, but the output/metadata can be sent to Microsoft.
That is the issue. Earlier there were many apps where Microsoft couldn’t pry because they were encrypted etc. Now they don’t need to break any encryption they just need metadata. That’s easy to transfer and use.
catalog3115to Privacy@lemmy.ml•Microsoft Recall takes constant screenshots of everything you do81·1 年前You know actually this is great way for Microsoft for surveillance. Not all apps and there data was accessible to Microsoft, like some data were encrypted etc. No that they are taking screenshot they can directly run those screenshots through ML Models. ML Models Maybe on device but the output/metadata they produce might be sent to Microsoft. For example Microsoft might run Image-to-Text on device but all the text from output could be sent to Microsoft. Your data will remain on device but Microsoft will still know

catalog3115to Technology@lemmy.ml•Samsung forces repair stores to destroy customer smartphones, iFixit ends cooperation134·1 年前The use of aftermarket parts in repair is relatively common. This provision requires independent repair shops to destroy the devices of their own customers, and then to snitch on them to Samsung.
That’s just pure evil and bully. If you have aftermarket parts they will destroy the device and force you to pay for it. This is the reason we need right to repair. Every consumer should support it.
E2EE is not supposed to protect if device get compromised.
