You not caring about the implications because you can avoid it in your own home could have come across as not helpful to the greater cause I guess.

Doesn’t matter if the tool is good enough to analyze and influence peoples behaviour the way it does. Any autocrats wet dream.

I couldn’t find the part where it says that but that’s what I thought. Pin code throttling is part of AOSP iirc, so they would have to go out of their way to remove it (or base their OS on an older LineageOS release like /e/os).

Edit: It’s not. It’s about the missing chip. Read the comment.

Probably because you should care about the fuckton of TVs being sold and in circulation with software that is just some of the worst privacy violations bundled together in a case behind a big LCD/OLED panel. There is no option to avoid it and probably no option to install something else on the hardware you bought and therefor should be yours to do whatever you want to with it. I even read that some connect to open wifi access points without passwords to reach the internet.

I always say this when someone mentions fairphones:

Fairphone 6 does not keep up with standard Android privacy/security patches and has no secure element to provide working disk encryption for typical users not using a strong password, among other flaws.

The idea is great, the execution is lacking basic needs in todays world. Missing pin code throttling is kind of insane tbh.

Great, another one to stress about!

We will probably do at least experimental forms of geoengineering the next years as well. Also those super volcanoes that should have blown up couple hundred years ago will hide the sun for some years once they pop. Also also, fucking with the climate (or trying to save it) could become some kind of climate warfare in the near future as well I guess. Good times ahead!

Remember when they told you a google query uses the power of a light bulb burning for an hour? We’ve come to a full circle guys.

I’m not too familiar with american c-type celebrity politicians, but can we please stop giving this soap opera shit any more platform as it may as well be purposely disguising all the real and important issues in the USA?
