Technology@lemmy.world•Software by the Electronic Frontier Foundation that, when linked up with the correct hardware, becomes a Stingray for detecting Stingrays.English
381·7 months agoJust as an example:
https://www.apple.com/icloud/find-my/
“Some devices can still send their location for up to 24 hours after they’ve been turned off or have low battery life.”
https://www.91mobiles.com/hub/exclusive-google-find-my-device-feature-phone-off
“Google began rolling out this feature as “Powered Off Finding” with the Pixel 8 series, letting users locate their phone even when it’s switched off by keeping the Bluetooth chip active.”
And those are only some of the official known possibilities

454·7 months agoThere is no such thing as “off” on modern Smartphones. Even if you power it down things like the baseband prozessor and bluetooth still stay active most of the time.
If the battery is integrated into device there ist no real way to completely shut this things down.
KeepassXC supports passkeys as well.

27·10 months agoWe should really start concentrating more on decentralization.
Take Freifunk as example and similar projects.
What we need is a user-run private alternative to the internet. Wireless mesh networks are a very interesting step in that direction.
As long the infrastructure is owned by the government and companies, we will never be really free.

Technology@lemmy.world•WhatsApp rolls out AI-generated summaries for private messagesEnglish
7·11 months agoIsn’t RCS for the most part using Google services and servers? I don’t know if that really is that much better.
To my knowledge, the original idea to have RCS be operated by the mobile providers is pretty much dead.

Technology@lemmy.world•We have reached the “severed fingers and abductions” stage of the crypto revolution - Ars TechnicaEnglish
551·1 year agoThat some messed up US thing i never understood. Here in germany you are anonymous by default when you win. at most it is published from what state the winner was.
That someone’s name and even address is published is so completely unimaginably absurd to me. makes no sense whatsoever.
Thanks for the clarification. Appreciate it.

World News@lemmy.world•Rubio condemns German intelligence’s decision to classify far-right party AfD as extremistEnglish
28·1 year agoMarco Rubio can eat the peanuts out of my shit.
With best regards from a hopefully soon fascist-free Germany.
Imho not unpopular at all. Anyone with a working common sense agrees with that. And i hope the ban on breeding those poor creatures comes soon in my country.
e.g. the Netherlands already banned it. Absolut correct decision.

World News@lemmy.world•Russian ammo depot, reportedly holding 264,000 tons of munitions, obliterated near MoscowEnglish
16·1 year agoThat may very well be. Ukraine managed to destroy quite a lot depots already, as far as I remember. And Russia had already problems of keeping up either way because of lack of specific resources, I think.
Something along that line. This display is too small and my fingers too fat to actually check that right now.





I feel like people lately go a bit overboard when it’s about protecting their “data”.
As far as I see all it does is just send one single number that shows that there is someone using this specific operation system and it does not include any personal or unique to the user information.
In my opinion this does not even qualify as “my data”
