So you're saying that, in order for me to steal everything on your phone, all I have to do is stand behind you in a supermarket and film you unlock your screen once. Then, on the way to your car, I quickly pull a knife on you and force you to tap your finger on your phone, then I hop on a motorbike and ride away.
Hope you didn't have any banking apps or crypto on your phone, because now that's gone.
QubesOS on a laptop is much much safer.
Common misconception
That's extremely insecure compared to a computer
I don't think this is inherently a problem, if the data is anonymized.
How long is your password? Do you ever type it in public?
Well, it usually is a good sign when an org actively breaks laws...choosing morality over law
Y'all got excess savings during the pandemic? How?
Edit: oh its bloomberg. They're talking about rich people who live in NYC.
I love the battery. I got a well used phone and I rarely have less than 70% at the end of the day.
But I leave my phone in airplane mode 24/7 (just use WiFi, no SIM)
Its comments like this that lead Google to make newer phones have stupid big batteries. I hate those big, heavy phones :(
I have a Pixel 3a, and I love it. I also have a Pixel 4a and love that one too
I bought a Pixel 5a, and hated it. I think the 4a is the best phone on the market right now. Great price, great support in Lineage, and its not too big and heavy.
Go to a local free cryptocurrency meetup group. Bring $5 and buy some bitcoin from someone there. Then go home and use a website to convert the bitcoin to monero. Do this with just $5 at first.
Once you understand that process, repeat with some larger amount and you can use it to buy things.
They have a onion service. If the climate activist used that, then proton wouldn't have any details to give LE.
Use the privacy tools they tell you to use. they literally tell you how to prevent this from happening.
Use TAILS for activism
The key to encryption is to have your key encrypted with a strong passphrase.
Phones are literally designed to be convenient. Convenient is the antithesis of security.
You want a 20-100+ character passphrase to symmetrically encrypt your private keys, and you want to never type that in public.
Most people have 4 digit pins on their phones, and they constantly type them in public, in plain view of others. And its super easy to snatch out of their hands and run.
Phones are, by design, not secure devices. Marketing teams trying to sell you something say otherwise. Don't be gullible.
