A lot of android apps rely on GCM (google’s notification servers), I assume Whatsapp is one. Signal does too, but I think it can use its own websockets when gcm is not available, same for telegram. Whatsapp probably not.

Some ROMs with no google services restore the gcm funciinality via microg. Graphene os, as far as i know, does not have microg.

This is the definition of an artic-ad

Bro forgot to bring an emulator… Enjoy staring at binary code or something.

Huh? But I am assuming you do, so what is the issue here in counting it as a separate country?

Taiwan…?

Because there is too many ads

This. It’s a sensor, detecting only a specific air type. Not a camera, not a microphone. It doesn’t have to do with privacy, this is not “scan and collect data about all to punish one” and cannot be turned into one.

I’ll agree it’s a fuc**ing dumb idea. Like utter useless garbage. Classic capitalistic “fix behavioral trash-consumption issue with overpriced fancy tech products that sound amazing in theory and are garbage in practice, without fighting the problem at the root”. Screenshot comment said tax moeny but I’m willing to bet this is some kind of private school.

Also I disabled send a do not track signal as it is used for fingerprinting

Doesn’t this only make sense if it is off by default on that browser? I assume if it is on by default, most people will just keep it on, thus making users of that browser that turn it off stand out more. No?

Here you go! Never met a girl who didn’t like the game

sorry

I was talking about there being no option to whitelist some websites to keep their cookies, and as you can see it is not present there, while the desktop versione has it

Sadly that is not an option for firefox on android yet (while it is on desktop), the only choises you are left with are:

• Use ff focus that completely resets the browser deleting every cookie in the process
• Use normal ff and:

1. Just accept that you have to deal with cookies and care to carefully select Reject on every banner
2. Turn on delete data on “exit button press” (which sadly deletes everything again, with no possibility to whitelist some websites).

That said, i believe Firefox should have (even on android) their “total cookie protection” thing which puts them in separate containers for each domain, so you are somewhat protected by cookie cross-tracking, but i would still prefer to delete most of them at close.

Teoretically speaking, asking for a friend who’s doing research, how would you access such a service? :)

The attack begins with a phishing email sent to the target

Okay bro im not reading past this its 2024

Yeah right? Wasn’t it ukranians that did that?

Oh I didnt know you had that in the US, my bad

Do we seriously need an article for an app changing its name tho?

What components are you talking about? Can you provide some sort of source or reference or something? Are you maybe talking about the data modem?

Google sure is creating a lot of Pixel-fanboys by instilling this myth that if you dont get daddy google’s precious over-the-air updates delivered to your phone in 30 seconds after their release your phone might be at great risk®™ (exactly like if you dont let google play store scan the apps on your device to look for malicious software, like F-Droid, a common known attack vector).

Because surely Fairphone users are all government officials with nuclear codes and Kim Jong-un’s nudes saved in their notes and teams of indian hackers are 24/7 waiting for a security update to release, so they can unpack the zero-day-vulnerabilities before fairphone gets their release-cycle

Can you please elaborate further on this “component lifespan” thing? Because I think they were quite clear on the processor life cycle.

I believe this would be the opinion of the mass of people in the picture, not the single guy :)

Hello? Are we absolutely stupid?
