That’s what I assumed. Thanks for confirming.

I know this happened a few years ago but would having a separate work profile through Shelter, Island, or Insular limit the app to only see those on the profile?

This is probably just to get around any data privacy laws left intact.

There are over a hundred comments critical of Mozilla on that post.

Here’s a follow up post. Mozilla is already revising its new Firefox terms to clarify how it handles user data

Over a 50 comments. I don’t see any evidence of systematic downvoting.

Where do you see systematic downvoting?

Also what is your definition of systematic? Is 4 downvotes systematic to you?

Here is a link to said post in this community: Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic | Mozilla says it deleted promise because “sale of data” is defined broadly

The top post is critical of Mozilla has a 250 / 4 ratio. Where do you see systematic downvoting?

People criticize Mozilla all the time here. Look at the post about changing their privacy statement.

This is going to affect Firefox a lot more than it will affect Apple. At least Apple have options to shift money around. Firefox doesn’t.

Yeah. He addresses it without much of a response.

And there’s good arguments to be made that my hotspot is still trackable. Plus some of the apps I keep aren’t great for privacy (like Duolingo, for example). Try as I might, there’s only so much “harm reduction” I can do, and I could certainly get more protection by doing more. But as I’ve written about before, privacy is a spectrum, not a binary state of being.

He keeps a lot of crap that has user names and passwords. A VPN won’t really help with those.

He also uses free public WiFi. It’s probably okay since a lot of phones have randomized MAC addresses now but with facial recognition, they can easily attach that address with your identity.

Please forgive me for assuming your comfort level. I am sorry.

The rules also ban the use of facial recognition equipment in public places such as hotel rooms, public bathrooms, public dressing rooms, and public toilets.

This makes sense.

But this also means private businesses are still allowed to use facial recognition everywhere else you aren’t getting naked, lie a hotel lobby.

Yes but kids are less likely to lose watches.

I see so vertical integration.

Thank you for taking the time to inform me.

That’s what heavily state subsidised and controlled manufacturing will get you.

I heard about the heavy state subsidies from someone living there. Sounds good to me.

What does controlled manufacturing mean?

If they love Rand so much, let the market decide. Fucking cowards.

Land of the free ^for the rich^.

I just came back from Thailand. I got a Grab and driver pulls up in a BYD. I have never been in one. It is a really nice car from what I can see. I asked dude how much the car was. He said it was under ฿1M Which is $30,000 US. I was shocked.

I saw hybrids and electric cars everywhere there.

I am not a mechanical engineer. I just love going to all the stuff on this site and seeing what I could potentially make.

Note, I have never made anything that isn’t made of wood, Lego bricks, paper, or paracord. Lol.

Depending on how Bluetooth stacks handle HCI commands on the device, remote exploitation of the backdoor might be possible via malicious firmware or rogue Bluetooth connections.

I really wish these articles just tell us what these scenarios are. I understand companies need publicity or need to sell software but if it isn’t replicatable and the article says “might be possible” it kind of sounds like a secuity sales pitch.

This is especially the case if an attacker already has root access, planted malware, or pushed a malicious update on the device that opens up low-level access.

This part basically sounds more like a software issue where the attacker has a way in already. The system is already vulernable at this point before using the exploit found.

I don’t think there’s enough information out yet.

It is very interesting though.

The company would have 20 days to comply with Brazil’s antitrust legislation, otherwise it would be fined more than $40,000 a day.

Apple would rather pay the $14.6 to $14.64 million per year.

I use F-droid. I don’t check hash keys but having that kind reassurance is definitely better than trusting F-droid blindly.

I have had issues F-droid uploads before.

So Accrescent has only a limited number of apps and only installs on Android 10 and up.

If you want something with less limits, you can use Obtanium with AppVerifier, or APKMirror, which also has the hash keys available.
