Egads man, you may be on to something! I will up the ante with the vague inference he may be a German National Pigeon Society operative, commissioning all German Pigeons to spy for the Nazis.

The $10/month to guarantee data privacy sounds like a protection fee

No wonder they can talk with signal with their messaging app. Their FAQ says that they use matrix so they just using bridge to enable that. FOSS in spyware package sounds about right.

What do u mean??

[@darkguardian1314]

All this is hanging on the fact he was a Navy SEAL and survived Hell Week. Doesn’t make him a tech expert or an elite hacker. I was in the Marines, but that doesn’t translate that I’m the next Tony Stark or have thousands of connections with shady government officials in the NSA…😂 Secure is such a relative term. I call BS on Erik Prince. He fell into disgrace after his unit mercs went rogue during combat escorts shooting civilians with immunity. Scott Helvenston was a reality show Navy SEAL (Combat Missions - one season) killed and strung on a bridge working for Prince. You can also see some SEAL work out vids on KZbin by Scott before he deployed. RIP Scott Helvenston Semper Fi

Just give me a phone with no camera at all. With a microphone that I can either physically and or digitally mute. A phone that doesn’t spy on me and collect data/track me. A smart phone that’s actually smart and innovative. With new tech hardware and software. A hardy, tough phone than can take a beating. A more ergonomic shaped phone. Not every phone has to be a thin rectangle. I have so many cool ideas…. A phone that was designed to fit my hand like a glove, a phone that does what all the basics, but that is not too basic, like a dumb phone. A phone that doesn't emit anything harmful. A phone with a screen/display that doesn't negatively affect your eyes. Most phones are literally the same. A thin rectangle with a camera and a touchscreen. They all use the same handful of OSs/software. Literally no hardware innovation. just like other industries, the mega corpos like apple, samsung, etc. are all owned by the same ppl, the globohomos looking to do whatever evil thing it is they are doing. Wheres the creativity? wheres the innovation?? It's almost impossible to compete in the phone sector. will you create your own chips? they wont allow you to. What network will your phone connect to? they wont let you connect. Free ppl arent allowed to compete in certain industries, this is one of them. Just try and make a competitor, theyll find a way to stop you. If we allow them....

[@HikingFeral]

I spend 99 percent of my time in Linux but I need to use Windows for University. A lot of the programs they use run like rubbish in a VM and Wine etc. If I wanted to ensure privacy and use Tor I would certainly not be running it in Windows. Do they not realize the point of Tor is completely lost when running it in Windows? I can't wait for the day I can delete my Windows drive but for now it can stay air gapped and used when absolutely essential to my work.

I hope someone has already asked them for the source code for their open source-derived 'proprietary' operating system, to see if they are complying with its license. Everything he says about supply chain and proprietary screams 'I don't know what I'm talking about'. The interviewer unwittingly hits the mark when he responds with 'incredible', these claims have no credibility at all.

[@mdellertson]

Let’s not forget that Apple now has a “feature”, which enables machine learning to analyze the screen buffer (aka screenshot of everything displayed on the screen) unencrypted. So, they can read all sensitive data.

Its a honeypot phone

[@jimc12]

I appreciate your time reviewing this phone. I would like to see a follow-up. Most people opening their eyes and waking up to what is going on are concerned. We do not know how to de google a phone, read code, access an onion server to browse the dark web or reprogram a phone and write our codes. Eric Prince is not a fanboy of government agencies, especially the Department of State. With all this being said, what are we supposed to do? Aside from myself, my whole family doesn’t have the time or the knowledge to do what you and most of your subs can do.

[@gamemusicify]

"What are we supposed to do" wanna know how to de Google your phone? Look up custom roms and learn wanna learn about the dark web look up tor and have fun trusting these sketchy snake oil salesmen will just get you scammed you don't need any coding expirence for anything I've just mentioned just need to spend 5 to 10 minutes on KZbin and you can do it can't want to br lazy then act shocked when you get scammed tho honestly if your paying for a whole phone just cuz you don't know how to access tor you shouldn't use tor it won't end well just stick to a basic pager and try not to get any smartphone tbh

Paying nearly a grand for a phone is stupid Paying a subscription fee for a phone is stupid Using your phones for "illegal" communication is stupid Trusting a corporation, a government or some guy who has extreme ties with any of those is stupid.

[@WillbeMelek]

Separating phone hardware from the battery is not a guarantee that the phone will not communicate. In 2006, a Flip Phone was for sale which could harvest ambient microwave energy generated by routers in saturated enviroments ( Big Cities ), keeping GPS and Emergency calling active. Since 2006, this technology has only improved. How do you protect your phone from Cellular Intercept Kits that push malware to take control of the phone?

tor is already hacked through exit nodes - no hacking of tor browser needed

[@sloppyfloppy79]

Exit nodes only know where the request is going, not it's origin. You need an entry node to match time/date stamps otherwise it's a random request from somewhere in the world.

[@shephusted2714]

​@@sloppyfloppy79 source sophos says: Bad exit nodes are entirely possible then, and bad news if they exist, but how do we find them? Chloe set up a fake website with a Bitcoin theme, downloaded a complete list of exit nodes and then logged in to the honeypot site multiple times via Tor, using a different exit node and a unique password each time. Crucially the usernames and passwords were sent over regular HTTP rather than encrypted HTTPS so that when Tor’s layers of encryption were peeled back they were visible in the stream of traffic. If the login attempts had gone unobserved and unabused then the total number of website visits and log in attempts recorded by the honeypot should have matched the number performed by Chloe exactly. They didn’t. After a month of testing there were over 600 unexplained page visits, 12 failed log-in attempts and 16 successful ones that hadn’t come from Chloe. The passwords were not stored anywhere and were far too difficult to guess so if they were indeed stolen, they were stolen by somebody snooping on-the-wire. Anyone can set up an exit node and because it’s the place where traffic is decrypted, anyone who runs an exit node can read the traffic passing through it.

[@shadowxthevampiressofficial]

I don't like that the kill switch turns off the battery. It's not going to work for us Edward Snowdens. I like the design of the Liberty Phone by Purism. It has switches for WiFi, GPS, microphone & camera. Those are the kill switches that we actually need. Also unlike the PinePhone Pro you don't have to take off the back cover to access the kill switches on the Liberty Phone. There are mild drawbacks with the specs of the Liberty Phone. It has 4gb of ram while the iPhone 15 has 8gb. Liberty Phone has 128gb of internal storage while the iPhone 15 can come with up to 1tb. Liberty Phone has 4 cores & not that you need any more than 4 cores in a phone but the iPhone 15 ranges from 6 cores to 16 cores. Lastly Android & iPhones have 5G while Linux phones have 4G. You could probably upgrade a Librem 5 if you know what you're doing but even without the bleeding edge specs of the iPhone 15 Pro Max the kill switches of a Linux phone are very much worth it.
