E2EE is not supposed to protect if device get compromised.

Doesn’t using a particular wordlist limits choice, gives attackers a wordlist to generate the password from

I already know OP is talking about carrier unlock and I have also mentioned in my comments above. PIN unlock was just an example.

If nobody would do it. Why would company offer it? If it was indeed an anti-theft company should have informed the original owner(in their record) and should have denied any unlocking. If it was real anti-theft why would they provide app to unlock carrier.

Let me give you an example of actual anti-theft feature. Apple will not unlock iPhone, no matter how much money u try to pay. That’s an anti-theft feature. T-MOBILE has history of excess charging customers. This is plain & simple business tactics to earn more money. As OP @Charger8232@lemmy.ml told T-Mobile’s official app is dysfunctional. That app is dysfunctional, so people can’t unlock themselves.

This is not an anti-theft process. This is just way for companies to make more 💰. T-Mobile is allowing him to unlock 🔓 after he pays them some cash. It like company is happy to let anyone steal , as long as they are paid.

Lol true

You know actually this is great way for Microsoft for surveillance. Not all apps and there data was accessible to Microsoft, like some data were encrypted etc. No that they are taking screenshot they can directly run those screenshots through ML Models. ML Models Maybe on device but the output/metadata they produce might be sent to Microsoft. For example Microsoft might run Image-to-Text on device but all the text from output could be sent to Microsoft. Your data will remain on device but Microsoft will still know

When it’s jury case they have to disclose everything publicly which also a plus point.

😂

The use of aftermarket parts in repair is relatively common. This provision requires independent repair shops to destroy the devices of their own customers, and then to snitch on them to Samsung.

That’s just pure evil and bully. If you have aftermarket parts they will destroy the device and force you to pay for it. This is the reason we need right to repair. Every consumer should support it.

I am willing to moderate. I have no moderation experience. My current account is on lemmy.world but I will create new account on lemmy.ml for this purpose. Since the new account will not have any history, hence I am posting from this account so you can see my history. If you think I am perfect for this role please contact me and I will create a new account on lemmy.ml.

I am going to repeat what I have said for another similar post.

I still stand for Signal App.

• Telegram has no default E2EE, Telegram is run by for profit company
• Multiple flaws were found in Telegram’s encryption algorithm
• Almost all cleartext messages are stored on telegram server, but signal stores encrypted message temporarily
• Signal is non-profit & all their source code + finances are public. Even their server codes are publically available

I still stand with Signal App.

• Telegram has no default E2EE.
• Threema’s encryption was compromised .
• Threema & Telegram both are for profit companies.
• Signal is non-profit & all their source code + finances are public. Even their server codes are publically available

Don’t forget Threem encryption was broken. Threema is not free

In simple terms you can’t trace back the server useless the webadmin did some stupidity or vulnerability

You don’t hijack a .onion site. You pwn the server which hosts .onion site. Give you full access to site. You hijack .onion because its very secure

Only reason we collect IP address is to evaluate which country is most active & focus localisation(language etc)

Crash reports really helps developers. A app can crash for various reason sometimes it’s the device itself(not the concern of developers) but mostly some type of bug. We use analytics to prioritise which bug to solve.

For Example:- There are 2 bugs one in share feature another in export. If lots of people use share feature, then we priorities share feature bug

Or offer two variants of the app, one normal and one without. Or let people like F-Droid offer the latter.

I like the idea of providing two variant one normal & another without any analytics whatsoever on F-Droid. Users can create a issue/support ticket on GitHub providing logs themselves. Their app will not even ping back whatsoever.

I will create app with analytics with a compile switch so analytics part is not even compiled and completely stripped from the build
