You feel a loss of dignity if you can’t connect to the internet for a few hours for free? But are too cheap to negate that loss for $31?


Following your logic, it will be ok for you if airlines start charging for washrooms, reclining seats, windows or anything on board except just being alive. Why wouldn't you pay for washroom $15/minute + water and toilet paper?


i’ll take that as a yes.


What do you take? I probably need to take it too, to tolerate abysmal service from airlines and airports.


terramaster d8 hybrid shows as ~$299 on camel before prime day. but it had a $45 off coupon for at least a month that never got tracked.


Hitting vol up and down at the same time on the shield remote will mute. i thought shield also had a way to reduce dynamic range in the audio settings to make this a non issue for those that don’t their audio data being fiddled with.


anytime these type of stories come up, its helpful for someone to post about ieee's rayhunter opensource project.

which pairs nicely with a

Another nice tool is CellGuard

https://cellguard.seemoo.de/

It works on iOS devices without any extra hardware, even on non jailbroken devices, by analyzing baseband debug logs exported by the OS.


For what it’s worth, the authors note that since this is installed on a phone, by the time CellGuard has detected a rogue base station, it’s too late anyway.


These spying devices often do permit network traffic to flow through, so if deployed widely these apps could be used to report on where large-scale messing with cellular communications is taking place. The only way to stop this technology is to turn off your phone completely (and opt out of any low-power "find my" networks built into Android and iOS, of course).


iPhone / iOS Find My function doesn’t require cellular data.

Still lots of devices that have physical SIM cards and would be senseless if the device couldn’t be tracked if the SIM was removed.

I figured it worked more like an AirTag and pinged nearby devices.


That's my point. Apple and Google are using local BLE broadcasts that get uploaded to servers for locating devices. That means ICE can detect/count people in the vicinity by just monitoring the location network signals your devices will emit. For some devices, the location beacon feature will keep working even if you turn them "off".


faraday pouch for added peace of mind.


Hmm, says it works with the Pinephone and Pinephone Pro too, which are very portable, and are just generally devices many more would consider useful (I've thought about buying one at least, just for the open-source-ness of it)


> That isn’t harassment, despite the victim mentality you’re promoting.

Are you stating that this isn't harassment, or that you are incapable of being harassed on social media?

> Entering the public square means exposure not only to what someone chooses to see but also to what others choose to share with them.

This isnt a public square, let alone even a physical one. Even in the physical space, I am not beholden to look at what others share. I am under no obligation to take the flyer as I pass by. I am under no obligation to stop and listen as they prance around and try to get into my face.

These companies could provide a set level of tools for its users to be able to appropriately weed their own gardens, but they mostly chose not too. If she could set her app to not show her any video links from parties she didn't follow that pinged her, this probably wouldnt be an issue. There could easily be an middle ground between accept all harassment, and not visit the social club.


If I compile the voice recordings of my dead father and create a ai replica that you could call and speak to him, and then I sent it to my extended family, that's not harassment if they choose to believe that they don't like it.


Suppose I (a stranger who never met your father) do it, the AI replica I make is obviously fake and wrong, but it becomes popular nad people send you versions of it 10 times a day?


Harassment or not, it would be very cruel.


That is very much state by state in the usa. My state never had slots in gas stations or bars.


you can use the images to harm someone’s reputation legally as long as you don’t represent them as real.


the scanning continues.


it also doesn’t preclude it from being content.


I don't think any supposes it does. They're arguing that the word choice implies something about the speaker's value system and the place that art or human culture has in it.


Well, yes, but I didn’t really think that needed to be said.


I’m returning home from the store with cold medicine for my toddler late at night and I don’t want to have my trip increased by 15mins due to some police state bullshit.
