[@cyclemoto8744]

As much as I don't agree with governments covert interference with privacy, I have no reason to lose sleep over this. Prior to the internet age, if the government identified you as being a person of interest they also had the means of delving into your personal life, albeit in a physical manner by examining your files stored in a government or private space, for example. I realise that the digital age has enabled electronic surveillance which simplifies covert surveillance however I don't perform any activities which are of interest to government so these concerns don't rule my life. In any case, I do appreciate your content Rob and thank you for your time and effort.

[@uber354]

if you want to encrypt your files, buy a large SSD and encrypt it with a hidden voluming using the veracrypt software. storing your files on the cloud because apple says its encrypted is like giving the keys to your safe to someone who spends all his time with burglars because he says his house is locked.

[@mayatrash]

Not even sure if that works. Truecrypt also has some backdoor for like ~ 10 years by now. It’s fkd up

[@uber354]

@@mayatrash Veracrypt is an open source fork of Truecrypt and is customisable so you can use any hash algo for key derivation and iterate as many times as you want, and you can choose between different encryption algorithms. For example for my most sensitive documents, my key iterates so many times that it takes the computer about 1 minute to perform all the hash functions. That plus the high entropy of my passphrase makes a brute force attack impossible for the foreseeable future. If there is a more secure way to encrypt data, I'd be happy to try it out.

[@tomsaltner3011]

@HeWhoIsWhoHeIs Just because he has chosen to talk about iPhone does not mean that any other of the available platforms is better. In fact, the situation on other platforms seems much worse…

[@tomsaltner3011]

@HeWhoIsWhoHeIs I think the Problem is always the user (resp. the MDM-Admin). While systems like Android and Ubuntu can be made secure, the reality is different. From an experience of setting up Linux devices in an environment with rather high security requirements for nearly 30 years, I can tell that while Linux-based systems offer more options, those are very often worse in their real life setup as well. Mobile phones are meant for end users without any IT background and this is the vast majority of users. Hardening a phone and maintaining this status should not be the task of a user - but of course it should be transparent to him/her. So a certain setup might be more or less secure - an operating system or device is not per se. The problem is that you: a) have to trust somebody (OS producer, Store providers,…) and b) your security knowledge needs to be above average for maintaining the safety. In case you are targeted for surveillance directly, there will be a way. Even with these Brax-Devices.

[@CognacKidd]

Thank you. Shared with an iPhone owning friend of mine. I will definitely get a de googled phone this year and am hoping she'll do the same, or at least go with an Android. Incremental changes.

[@tamuman93]

You’re no better off with an android. They’re both compromised.

[@latetotheparty7551]

@@tamuman93 Yep. Hence why I said incremental changes.

Sailfish OS is what U need - pure mobile Linux with the best GUI i've found till now. Or @least an Android device with custom rom like Lineage with no Gapps (google apps) @all.

Minority Report! :)) Awesome video, thank you!

Just watched Jobs 1984 reveal of the Macintosh... It is true what they say, for humans as well as companies: You either die a hero, or live long enough to become the evil in your own story...

I'm trying to find a video of yours where you say that Apple grabs your data before E2E encryption. That they added it in 2018 or so and that they just haven't turned it on. I've been looking for a while with no success!

[@robbraxmantech]

Early 2022 video.

[@Gruuvin1]

Then, WHY ARE THEY DOING ENCRYPTION AT ALL? There is only one answer to this: they want you to think they are protecting your privacy, while selling you out. THEY ARE LIARS!

[@karlbesser1696]

ChatGPT also knows how Apple spies on its users? 😁👹

[@vernearase3044]

You and Rossman make a good pair - you should get together and come up with some more plausible conspiracy theories. 😄

Hurr hurr hurr!!

I talk to Microsoft chat bot about the monopoly apple and google and disney. It knows they are monopolies but doesn't understand how they continue under current laws in america.

[@memberman]

Thanks for the explanation.

[@spookyboo3164]

they probably already had a back door lets face it if it breaks it would be very poor of the encryption developer not to build a back in case there's faults in it development stage

[@bypinkerton892]

Android also created a backdoor with the 2021 Kernel 5.8 & higher..... I guess the 1st phones with it came out in 2022 with Pixel's 6 series & Samsung's S22 Series'....

I have old iphone 6s on my desk. It has been wiped, has no SIM and the airplane mode is on, wifi and bt disabled, and even password to the wifi wasn't applied. I regularly charge it to keep the battery working so I can use it for my old drone. The interesting part is that whenever I get notification on my new phone, the old one's screen wakes up...

[@g1andonly1]

Funny you bring up auto focus when taking a picture, especially with the front camera . Apple front camera just got autofocus with the iPhone 14 so what are the squares when taking a picture?

You can search your iCloud Photos for text. How can that be done locally? The photos are in the cloud with only local thumbnails!

[@glassleo405]

Great video thank you!

[@Ogkrptonite]

Thank you 🎉🎉

[@noname-nq5zn]

More reason to use non-standard programs that require a pin per product for example of different pin for your messenger one to unlock your phone maybe a different pin for call history

[@Blackkspot]

is it safe tu use older iphones like the first SE?

[@robbraxmantech]

It is safe-r because there's no neural engine. But location tracking is extreme in any iphone

[@ShotgunAFlyboy]

Explains why phones seemingly got worse and worse while more and more stuff was packed in them.

[@Leroy100]

If you use an apple, you’re zucked.🤣

They have a front door to walk in with a few thousand friends and put the fear in them for crimes on the people.
