- Comment on why dont android phones have a bios like computers and be able to load a generic arm linux iso or windows one,or be easily rooted? 5 days ago:
Because phones have the most sensitive data out of all your devices for most people, and they are also the easiest to break, lose, get stolen, or have an unauthorized users access its contents.
Its just to protect the users from themselves.
- Comment on What to do with an old iPhone that I no longer use? 6 days ago:
You can still recycle it, but as far as factory resetting it, its probably best to ask Apple directly.
- Comment on What to do with an old iPhone that I no longer use? 6 days ago:
As in they are locked out of the phone?
- Comment on What to do with an old iPhone that I no longer use? 6 days ago:
Factory reset and send to apple for recycling.

Screen calls automatically
You can set up Call Screen to automatically screen certain types of callers. Your Google Assistant asks callers why they’re calling. When you set up automatic call screening:
- Calls from your contacts list aren’t screened.
- Call Screen detects spam based on what a caller says, or if matched in Google’s database of known spammers and robocallers. A detected spam call is declined without alerting you.
- For calls that Call Screen doesn’t detect as spam, your phone will ring and you’ll see how the caller responds. Then you can pick up or decline the call.
- After the call, you can read the transcript and listen to the call audio in the “Home” tab. If you don’t want audio from the call screening phase recorded, in “Spam and Call Screen” settings, turn off Save Call Screen audio.
Tip: To protect your privacy, transcripts and recordings are stored only on your phone.
Screen calls manually
If you tap Screen call, the caller is asked why they’re calling, and is told you’ll get a copy of the conversation. You can get a real-time transcript of what the caller is asked and how they respond. If you pick up the call, screening and transcription end immediately.
Use AI replies
AI-powered replies are generated on device based on the caller’s Call Screen responses. They’re more flexible and suit more occasions than the preset suggested replies. To use AI-powered replies, turn them on. Learn more about AI replies.
Replies may be inaccurate and don’t represent Google’s views. By using AI replies, you agree to the Google Terms of Service.

The beauty of it being on Android is Google Assistant must be enabled and monitoring calls, rather than this feature being built into the OS.
- Comment on Shit, I'd pay $9 2 weeks ago:
Oh I never said it was “new”, but its really nice to have.
- Comment on Shit, I'd pay $9 2 weeks ago:
iOS has call screening now and it is really fucking nice.
Calling from an unknown number that isn’t on my contacts list? You have to listen to Siri ask whats the purpose of your call, and then Siri will let me know your response. Then, if available to answer based on how you responded, ill swipe to join the call.
- Comment on Are there any reputable cybersecurity experts that I could just email them to ask for free advice? 4 weeks ago:
If its an Android or iOS phone, then it will prompt for a password or pin after a few failed fingerprint scans.
Fingerprint is just there for convenience, but you can get around it in most cases.
- Comment on Are there any reputable cybersecurity experts that I could just email them to ask for free advice? 5 weeks ago:
If its an authenticator app, then its password based, as ultimately the password or pin is needed to unlock the phone.
If its a standalone authenticator device, then yes thats MFA. But like I said, its the most expensive option since you would have to purchase devices.
- Comment on Are there any reputable cybersecurity experts that I could just email them to ask for free advice? 5 weeks ago:
Fingerprint with an RFID badge is MFA with no passwords.
Something you have and something you are is the most expensive MFA combination, which is why it isn’t common.

Spanish isn’t the native language. Not sure how that applies at all.
- Comment on Why have so many services started using single-factor passwordless authentication in the last little while? 4 months ago:
And one little lapse in not paying a cell phone bill can cause you to lose your phone number, which then means you can no longer authenticate.

What does speaking English have to do with New York being an American city? English isn’t the native tongue, its the colonized tongue.

- Comment on Yes, Apple. This is exactly what I wanted *facepalm* 5 months ago:
Yea but its a search. If you wanted a shortcut to the app, maybe pin it to your dock so its easier to access. If its a search, i would want all relevant items to appear.
- Comment on Yes, Apple. This is exactly what I wanted *facepalm* 5 months ago:
Whats the issue here? You can store notes in other internet accounts other than apple accounts. Its a relevant search result IMO.

If you use systemd, mkinitio and sbctl can sign it all for you automatically during updates.
- Comment on Battlefield 6 dev apologizes for requiring Secure Boot to power anti-cheat tools 6 months ago:
Until its concealing its behavior by modifying files or executing processes without your knowledge, then it isn’t a rootkit. They tell you what it does, and they get your permission to install it.
Its anti cheat software that monitors your system and kernel. Not a rootkit.
- Comment on Battlefield 6 dev apologizes for requiring Secure Boot to power anti-cheat tools 6 months ago:
Would you enable secure boot even if you’re not installing bf6?
- Comment on Battlefield 6 dev apologizes for requiring Secure Boot to power anti-cheat tools 6 months ago:
I believe you are missing my point
- Comment on Battlefield 6 dev apologizes for requiring Secure Boot to power anti-cheat tools 6 months ago:
Sounds like these game studios are creating horrible software on a horrible OS, but this anti cheat is still not modifying the kernel, and secure boot also is not a rootkit.
- Comment on Battlefield 6 dev apologizes for requiring Secure Boot to power anti-cheat tools 6 months ago:
My point stands. The anti cheat doesn’t modify your kernel though. Its not a rootkit.
- Comment on Battlefield 6 dev apologizes for requiring Secure Boot to power anti-cheat tools 6 months ago:
Secure boot won’t let your kernel be modified though.
Their anti cheat software just makes sure that you haven’t tampered with the kernel at all. It just monitors for any changes after the system has booted.
It does not modify your kernel.
- Comment on Battlefield 6 dev apologizes for requiring Secure Boot to power anti-cheat tools 6 months ago:
Are people still parroting that secure boot is a rootkit, even though its actually designed to prevent root kits from being installed?
- Comment on 6 months ago:
You don’t have to rigorously slow down though. Just ease it into existence. Its not a race. It might take a few seconds to replace that space, but thats fine. You don’t even need to hit the brakes 95% of the time. Just go a mph or two slower and let it balloon out over time.
The person behind you can usually recognize that someone just whipped out in front of you and will give you some grace time to adjust.
And keep in mind, if someone is merging into your lane, then whatever lane they came from now has additional space, which lets those lanes work better. Its a win win.
