    I always recommend that people who can’t afford high-end secured encrypted hardware/sofrware to stick to “dumb” devices and not buy cheap chinese smartphones as they will inevitably lead to private data breaches. With regards to phones, i recommend the latest Samsung Galaxy S series with Knox/latest iPhones.

        Security != Chinese

        therefore security = USA

        but according to Snowden and Wikileaks, Intel/Qualcomm/Cisco/FVEY corps = backdoor = no security

        therefore security = no security

        thus 0=1

        Or maybe, “China bad” might be a boogeyman narrative… which one makes sense? Cold War clearly did not help people learn from history.

        spoiler

        Do not mind, just playing along.

      Well as people already mentioned on this place earlier, Google might already be spying on us through Android itself, so now when I use a Honor phone (made by a Chinese company), I can at least be happy for the Google spy, knowing he’s not spying on me all on his own and might at least have someone to socialize with while doing all the spying along with the fed watching over my Discord account, who is probably at this point scared for life over what people send me on there. 😂

        Privacy is not equal to security. With google/apple, you get security at the cost of privacy. I use a self-compiled custom ROM on my personal phone that contain sensitive data (a high -end Android with latest chipset-- OnePlus 8 Pro).

        As daily drivers/ normal usage I use a Galaxy S20 Ultra & iPhone 11 Pro

          True, I just have one smartphone, that I try to keep as far from my sensitive data as possible, not having any banking apps on it, like they always want you to have and not linking my credit card to any of the Google products. Also trying to use alternative apps that aren’t run by the companies who usually do the spying.

            Paranoid much?

            I cant imagine living w/out banking apps (I have a side-business // startup and I sometimes have to deal with on-the-go payments )).

            I probably earn more than you (no offense haha) but Im less paranoid about these stuff so why should you be lol? No offence again :)

                Please refrain from personal attacks. This is not the place to vent your personal/real-life frustrations, so I recommend that you see a mental healthcare professional (therapist for the layman) instead.

                    Lmao I actually had a few laughs going through this guy’s post history, good troll, I rate it 6/10.

                    And he even has a funny new community. Ok, I will bump it up to 7/10.

                    Who is the troll here? It is you who is resorting to personal attacks and name-calling, so I’m 100% sure the ‘troll’ here must be you.

                    Edit: @kixiQu@lemmy.ml Please take care of this user. I believe he is the same person who was harassing me via PM earlier.

              Nobody with grammar and orthography that bad is believable when they pretend they earn lots of money. If you want to troll, at least try harder.

                Altleast learn the meaning of the words before you make a clown of yourself by using them in a sentence on the internet. Perhaps then you wouldn’t comment with broken sentences.

      This is an excellent demonstration of a person who does not know how privacy and security works on phones, gentlemen and gentlewomen.

        I recommend you go back to teaching in kindergarten, since you seem so out of depth/reach with regards to complex topics like modern technology.

          You are the definition of a troll. Have fun with that little fact, and the sockpuppets you desperately made to downvote my comment, even though there is no karma rat race on Lemmy.

            Sockpuppets you desperately made

            You are projecting, ma’am.Why did you mention yourself (AnAnonymousClown the Sockpuppet) in your own shitcomment? I barely have time to manage my own account. And I’m the one with a comment score of -9 which you achieved via your illegal alternate accounts, Mrs. Troll.

            downvote my comment

            Imagine caring about stuff like that. A sign of an unfulfilling life, oh my. Is your transition not going very well? Please ask your doctor for more hormone therapy.

            BTW you are the very definition of an unemployed woman (yes, trans women ARE women too though i wouldn’t date one because of reproductive reasons :p (i also got a beautiful fiancee)). I wonder where unemployed people like you get the money for internet access, haha. Must be the public library, right?

              You called me a trans woman, even though I am a male, so it does seem you are a homophobe. @dessalines@lemmy.ml here you go, take care of this, they are not a harmless troll.

              Ignoring the rest of your unrelated ad hominems because you are irrelevant to me.

                Idk what sort of weird tangent you are on about, but it’s clear from your behaviour that you’re a transphobe.

                you are irrelevant to me.

                And you are irrelevant to the rest of the world. No one likes you, bigot.
