They can also hijack the connection of a connected box (ethernet over hdmi) or via a connected phone (bluetooth & chromecast iirc)

At that age cpu it’s almost certainly a hard drive not ssd.

My guess is 1-2 days. 4gb RAM is going to thrash like hell

Thank you

What is the difference between type 1 & 2 please ?

Simless phones can make emergency calls because the towers are configured to accept a request for an emergency call to any device that handshakes sufficiently (in Europe and most of Asia anyway, I assume also true of USA because it does work).

The phone is able to contact the nearest tower and initiate a call because it scans for the nearest towers in the boot process in order to go to the next step (check sim details and connect to configured provider). In the process of determining available towers it provides the IMEI to each of them.

If you live in a country where you have to provide ID to buy a handset then this definitely isn’t anonymous, but even if you are in a country that doesnt, all the manufacturers track where every IMEI is shipped, and sku numbers on POS will easily allow determination of exactly when the device was sold. Even if you paid cash there will be CCTV footage of the purchase.

TL;DR this will work mostly until you make a mistake against corporate tracking but will absolutely not protect you from three-letter-acronyms and law enforcement.

Consider your threat model carefully before relying on it

It’s not unreasonable to be ignorant. Particularly about technology which most don’t understand

Lol. Yeah that was my reaction to the headline as well. “You did what ?”

Https://1ft.io also seems to work and by the branding seems unrelated to 12ft

Nope not locked. I have always on vpn (random countries) anti fingerprinting and DDG happily allows the search localisation to my actual or a different country

Doesnt this mean that you’re by default agreeing to the cookies though ? I’ve tested not responding to the pop up on several websites and they all write cookies if you don’t respond

From the article (did you read it ?)

"Many car manufacturers are selling car owners’ data to advertisers as a revenue boosting tactic, according to earlier reporting by Recorded Future News. "

So yeah at least some of them collecting it are then selling it

Clearly states in article owners can’t delete data collected

If “here” is the US, then yeah you do. There are insurers in UK, US and I believe most of western Europe who offer “discounted” insurance in return for fitting a tracking, logging device to the car.

Not really much to say is there ? It sucks.

I’d normally upvote and move on. Upvote to acknowledge that someone posted a useful article. No comment becauae it’s just another nail in the coffin. Nothing new in that.

That depends on your threat model. All lemmy posts are publicly visible and can be scooped up by Farcebook, google et al. Discord is very definitely not properly private but all posts aren’t public. They are undoubtedly doing the same thing FB does and selling a semi anonymised set of meta data about you, but the world doesn’t have direct visibility

I know the three letter acronyms have access to everything I do, hidden or not, I don’t like it but I don’t see anyway around it.

I can however do my level best to keep FB, google, M$ out of my stuff to some extent

I used to use it and it can help. Particularly microsoft websites. It causes audio distortion on some sites though.

office 365 does not work for instance.

Well that’s not true

O365 via the browser works perfectly fine and has done for years. You can’t install windows executable apps if that’s what you meant
