NEW COUPON. For those needing a Coupon for Free Access it is code "FREE6B"
Something very basic that the average person does not care about even if they knew about it. Your every click on a website is tracked. Every single one. How does this work? Surprisingly easy enough to understand yet apparently no one wants to explain this.
There are ways around this for the privacy conscious but the mechanics of the tracking has to be fully understood.
A rant. The most irritating thing for those of us who are privacy conscious are comments like "what are you hiding?" or "as long as you follow the law who cares?" or "you're paranoid".
I'm sure I'm not alone on this. Well, if you get irritated by this, then there is nothing wrong with you. Ignore these NPCs but you also need a smart understanding of why you do need to care and why these NPCs are the ones who are wrong.
The intent to scan content to counter end-to-end encryption is no longer theoretical with the passing of the UK Online Safety Bill.
How would the OS makers then build in client-side scanning? Let's tackle a theoretical project to do this on your favorite operating system (Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android).
This would be how I would do it.
I found the post on iPhone 16 very interesting and concerning. I am especially concerned that people around me put me at greater risk if they own one of these things - both for any communication with them that crosses the device and for just being in my vicinity.
One question though. On previous iOS devices I can and do turn off all SIRI functionality and limit the microphone being used by apps as much as possible. Is it true the in the latest iPhone and current or eventual iOS version that I have no control of the microphone and it is always on and listening? If so that needs to be widely talked about to force Apple to change it.
Rob, why the hell don't you have any means to pay you in crypto especially privacy preserving crypto like Monero for products? For a "privacy guy" this is a very large failing. What is the point of buying anonymity/privacy preserving devices or services from your store if I am pushed toward a privacy leaking and often full KYC payment method?
