Paranoia isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Or mental illness. Sometimes there really are people/AI out to get you, for what reason, that’s all dependent upon what they are after. Ruin your reputation, bribery, control, compliance to their agenda…. So no reason to maybe be suspicious about the tech companies and the three letter agencies in the U.S. who have their own agendas not tied to the government that is by the people and for the people. So don’t discount your own personal experiences and your own intuition. Never trust anything or anyone blindly.
Glad this is being covered by you guys! I’d love to hear the different jammers and personal protective equipment/gadgets to keep yourself safe from your device and also OTHER devices
I love getting different voices and perspectives on the channel 😀 Unfortunately, Rob's predictions to date have been accurate and are a warning to all of us ☹️

jammers are illegal to use (unless testing in a safe environment), but you can put your 4G/5G/LTE devices in a faraday bag, even better put all your RFID debit/credit and key cards in the bag.
Dont bother, all mobile phones have been automatically trackable to the sq meter since the 80's. You either unplug or deal with it.... trying high-end stuff just puts up a flag and makes you a target(for worse things). BLE is kind of irrelevant tbh as is AI. As for jammers, you are basically telling RI's(RF Investigators, names may vary) your location(unless your in the middle of nowhere, in which case: why bother) and that you are up to no good, ppl go to jail for it. It really depends on ur threat model, Turn off anything your not using(eg BT/wifi/location/mic/camera-nothing phones are good for that), be very careful what apps you use and how you use them and you should be ok most of the time. If your threat model goes above that then dont come to YT for advice. Lastly: RF shielded pouches are a much better solution if your worried about your own device only... tinfoil works too (yes really)
If you use apple, you've given up ur privacy, period. Same with unaltered google. Android or better yet an alt OS then the dev mode, all sensors off(no mic, no cam, no gyro, no accelerometers, no radio like bluetooth or mobile data or wifi, jailbreak a non-apple phone and install an alternative OS, faraday pouch if u need it.

seem that they want to prove that we are scientifically and phylosofically unnecessary neo Malthusian plan. because they can reproduce you more efficient more economical and better in any form. there are 2 tendency of model from "What could go wrong? + Law of Eddie Murffie". the ones that dream with the definitive weapon, and the one than want to preserver for ever the statusqo and play the best game theory.
My theory: Long time ago, Government been thinking how to spy on everyone legally. One day an unknown company came out with the best solution to spy on people without the victims even know about it (even though they already sign the contract), which is smartphones. Then Front cameras to get face information. Then Mobile apps to train GenAI. #TheMoreYouKnow
The scary thing is, you cannot hide from this. Even if you try to care about privacy, every other device from your family, co-workers etc. is tracking and listening and spying on you. Also more and more, you need to have accounts and provide phone numbers and credit cards to use services in the internet. Scary times ahead.
The Google on any device listens to all your contacts as well regardless whether they talk about you or not, and reports to you via “suggestions” or ads.
Salvation was great, but Person of Interest is the best show of all time. If you follow the tension between the USA and China within geopolitician and technology, then you will realize and understand the whole concept
There needs to be laws, perhaps even constitutional amendments that protect personal data, private correspondence, biometrics, etc. Companies, including social media platforms, advertisers, AI and “personal assistants”, and tech/media corporations should exclusively collect information for the purposes of providing you a product or service, they should only hold that data for the duration necessary to fulfill their end of the transaction, they should not sell or distribute that data without the user’s consent, and it should require a court order and strict supervision for anyone to access data outside of that circle of informed consent.
There are laws the problem is the government gets around it because it’s an AI is not an individual nor is it part of the government. They need to rewrite laws to address this
You're living in your imagination if you think that the Government won't control everything in the near future. Never mind what 'should' happen, let's just focus on what 'is happening' instead.
Ya know I'm old school here! I have found if your worried about who is listening or spying , just wrap phone in heavy duty tin foil, double wrap, wrap tight, and leave for half hour, hour,whatever. Now when you unwrap watch what appears right away or is stored, notification and from who and that info is what to pursue! This is always good to wrap your phone if you suspect a STING-RAY DEVICE! No Transmit or receive signals from the phone and you are in "tin foil stealth mode!" Hey it's cheap you probably have some in the kitchen right now! Peace and prosperity to all my brothers and sisters!! Montana Rick
Just do it and see what happens… since when phone became a part of who we are ? It is a tool a device so use it as tool ! Simple 😊 no need to carry it everywhere you go ❤
"OS constantly listens to you now" - but it doesn't listen for everything. It listens for specific pattern to be activated. That's why you have to pre-record "hey siri" for siri to be properly triggered. Listening and analyzing the whole flow would drain the battery easily. Now it's a separate chip that doesn't consume much and just triggers the "active listening"
@@darkdays6196imagine being so incompetent in computer security and signals intelligence that you think this isn’t technically possible and isn’t being exploited
@@ProBallerJake7 thats what i was saying. The original comment implies it only listens when you request for it to listen, which is absurd. I get ads for things i never type and only talk about in real life. I told my wife i was gonna give her the kielbasa and i got a hillshire farm ad an hour later. Theyre always listening
People were so worried about RFID chips, but they all have phones that know all about you, and have cameras and microphones and apps pirating you for data
Intel also recently announced their Core Ultra 200S processor which has a built-in Neural Processing Unit (NPU) specifically for on-device AI processing. So it's not out of the question that processing will be done exclusively on-device, and maybe if a query is too complex, a prompt to send the data for cloud processing? idk
Really glad to see this being discussed. I would be really interested to know if there was outside consultation used for some of these new features and technology.
This is why I'm so happy we have SUI and Walrus now. This is the basis to build fully decentralized, scaling applications that are controlled by the users and not the companies. Web3 is the possibility to escape the operate overlords. It took us a while to build the bases, most L1s don't work for various reasons as a app basis, most of them don't scale to 1M TPS and more and not with constant transaction cost. Finality over 1s does not work, people get frustrated... Exciting times we have now
I watched Rob for a long time now. Really enjoy what he has to say and its true. I also commented on one of his videos is the risk (on a pc or even phone) when the AI chip can interpret what the gpu has to display, then changing the OS wont even help any more. So the only solution is only to stay as long as possible on old devices until we have another solution.
I no longer carry a smartphone. I use a basic Doro phone which only does calls and texts. I do however use an iPad at home for banking and online shopping. Life is much happier without carrying a mini computer everywhere that spies on me 😁
I spent days researching & turning every single setting in my iPhone 14 Pro off (to maximize privacy) when I got my phone when it came out. So no Siri, or data share or app access to internet etc. on 01/13/2024 I was in a parked semi truck that rolled over when the road collapsed & My iPhone 14 Pro Called 911 and Told 911 that a crash had been detected.
@@_efault I would not trust that. Its like the "privacy sandbox" google introduced, that is even worse in terms of privacy than we had before.. but since it says its a privacy sandbox people thinks it safe cause of the name lol.
A lot of the concepts here about linking tangential information to a target data point has in fact been solved within the subject matter of database anonymization, Stacy Prowell has some good lectures on youtube about anonymizing databases (with probability, with adding noise, removing determinants, etc.). I don't know if tech companies do that and I will believe they don't until I see proof otherwise, but the math and the practice is there to make data collection and anonymization secure.
How funny is it that our phones😂😂😂😂 even hears ppl break wind. Which means farting to the younger crowd...that is sooooo funny that even our farts get heard😂😂
They knew what they were building wayy back in 1984, when their first major commercial about the Macintosh ended with the quote, "... and you'll see why 1984, won't be like 1984..."
The only people not being tracked and monitored are that one family member who still refuses to buy a cell phone. And i bet they have stories about how life is very difficult for them. Because the government doesnt want you to be free. It will make obstacles to make you think you need a phone.
💯 Mr. Braxman is on point on this. Unfortunately a surveillance state is inevitable going forward even in a constitutional republic. The Bible speak of the end times and these steps we are currently experiencing toward large scale population control are steps in what is to come.
The scanning and analysis (monitoring) of your data will enable your "AI Personal Assistant/Agent" to "Learn" & "emulate you", and be able to eventually influence/direct your behaviour (actions/reactions) as well as "document" on your "Unique Client Interactions".
Yeah, privacy concerns are valid, but at the end of the day, we all want to use these features, and AI needs data to work effectively. The real issue isn’t just data collection itself-it’s whether the data is stored securely and handled responsibly. As long as companies ensure proper security and transparency, the trade-off is worth it.
cover the cameras with removable decals.. so if you ever choose to facetime with your family, you can.. cover your camera all other times.. and turn off tracking notifications..
Yes, they do not even hide it anymore. I know I saw. And, they are doing their best to hold onto the last bit of control as they can. PS: I physically write everything down. I do not put all things into the phone, computer of my own. 😊 You can not let someone else write your story for you. It is not "authentic" that way.
I don’t deny that all these tech companies track every move we make but have you guys heard of: “Create fear and than offer a solution”, saying? Just a small note, IR is not looking for a heat source. Good informative video and good product placement.
I love this guest. I’ve seen a lot of his videos. My only question right now is…. If Google is tracking everything you do online. Especially if ya have a Google account for things like UA-cam Channels. How has Google not taken this down?
The thing is even if I use a de-googled phone and I am about in pubic, the other phones may still scan my phone, right? Now, since I have a de-googled phone, my phone won't transmit any data, but the other phones in proximity surely will flag me as unrecognizable device which then the AI of other device will take control of what they can find about me or in my phone, right?
@gesunderpsychopath8569 Sure, the Faraday bag is the only option, but why it has come to this stage that every other person is trying to be invisible on the internet. I really miss the good old phones where if you want to disappear, you just remove the battery. I think the main problem is the general public. If we would have raised our concern about privacy, the big tech companies wouldn't have gone this far, google and apple.
@@robert8 that's why it was only revealed that our devices were spying on us in 2013. not in 2007. by that time everyone was hooked and no one could imagine living without one
I'm afraid the best way to limit the data that can be collected is new laws and a new legislative framework to deal with how personal data can be handled and how intrusive AI can be. Running away from everything is only a temporary solution. You need to get the people in congress to do the right thing. I know that is an oxymoron since we know they are a big part of the problem. I know its hard, but the only way they listen is the hard way. It would take a lot of civil action on the part of the IT security community to push this forward. I like that you guys are doing awareness, but more needs to be done to halt the insanity of the technocrats.
Communication without internet is probably why they're rebooting in police custody. All of the phones see each like "Hey bro why you hear? I don't know there's a bunch of us here. Reboot party, I think we are stolen? Sure! "
Bear in mind that we also look at things we find to be objectionable, and when I click on a video's three dots to select "not interested" I often find the option is missing. So by then, I would have may have given a mistaken indication of positive interest by merely clicking on it, but without being able to accurately indicate why.
I cover up all the cameras on my phone and actually leave home without it. The garbage they send my way tells me they know nothing about what I like or enjoy. Lol Privacy is dead and we aren't far behind.
@@davidbombal A lot of people I have met who have them do know about the privacy implications, perhaps they don't think it will hurt them and it likely won't so they simply don't care. I'm a nerd and I like to tinker, iPhone has always been too locked down for me. Android gives me choices in just about everything. It's a computer - We tell it what to do, not the other way around. Cheers David.
It's very US specific, I didn't know for quite some time that lots of people in the US have an iPhone. I mean, lots, a LOT more than in Europe, where you will see it by far not that often - Android is much more common. As far as I know, you might even get made fun off at college or school or whatnot if you don't have an iPhone but some Android. Seems to be a prestige object even more than in Europe, although in Europe it's far beyond Android.
I hear this a lot from non-US folks that the US privacy regulations don't apply to them... as if the US does not have a base in every NATO country, didn't force Australia to try their own citizen with treason for whistleblowing about US war crimes in Afghanistan, as if the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Section 702 act doesn't include "authorizes the [warrantless] targeted collection of foreign intelligence information from non-U.S. persons located abroad." (Mind you the only outrage I've seen of this int he US is that it's been used on Americans abroad as well) America runs the world and has no problem openly showcasing that.
Thanks. You’ve really improved my knowledge of AI. I think that end-to-end encryption protect Apple rather than you because the encryption key sits at Apple not with you and if you want to know what is being uploaded you cannot know
I had a Canon Hi8 video camera in the late 80's that tracked your eye movement. I thought that this was pretty out of it back then. Now it's fully arrived.
I asked ChatGPT what kind of music it thinks I like, and got this answer: ”Based on what I know about your projects and interests, I would guess you might enjoy music that aligns with your technical and creative pursuits. Perhaps you’re drawn to electronic music, synthwave, or ambient tracks that can accompany your focus while working on coding, engineering, or building systems. You might also appreciate instrumental or orchestral music that allows for deep concentration, or even retro video game soundtracks, given your work on game-related concepts like FPV video integration.” Pretty much spot on.
I asked Copilot, which I use multiple time per day, "What type of music do I like based on what you know about me?" and the response was "Based on our conversation, I don't have specific details about your music preferences. However, I can help you explore different genres or artists if you tell me a bit about what you enjoy! Do you like upbeat and energetic music, something more relaxing, or perhaps a specific genre like rock, pop, jazz, or classical? Let me know, and I can make some recommendations!" Generic and good for now, but as Rob says I am sure this will be changing.
@@cryptoponics Maybe copilot don´t have the same capabilities for memory as ChatGPT do now. Now, when you open up a new chat with ChatGPT and make a prompt you see a "memory loading..." notification, so they obiously store data from previous sessions, or at least summaries of old conversations. Which from a privacy standpoint is scary as fuck, but from a usability standpoint is quite nice
Some of these predictions where easy people are greedy not all, but the majority don't even get the flaw in the concept of the act of being greedy they haven't yet experienced how greed leads to destruction so they think there's no consequences, but there are.
Person of Interest was laughed at when it launched, it wasn't until Snowden leaked in 2013 that people took it a bit more seriously.

seem that they want to prove that we are scientifically and phylosofically unnecessary neo Malthusian plan. because they can reproduce you more efficient more economical and better in any form. there are 2 tendency of model from "What could go wrong? + Law of Eddie Murffie". the ones that dream with the definitive weapon, and the one than want to preserver for ever the statusqo and play the best game theory.
My theory: Long time ago, Government been thinking how to spy on everyone legally. One day an unknown company came out with the best solution to spy on people without the victims even know about it (even though they already sign the contract), which is smartphones. Then Front cameras to get face information. Then Mobile apps to train GenAI. #TheMoreYouKnow
The scary thing is, you cannot hide from this. Even if you try to care about privacy, every other device from your family, co-workers etc. is tracking and listening and spying on you.
Also more and more, you need to have accounts and provide phone numbers and credit cards to use services in the internet.
Scary times ahead.
The Google on any device listens to all your contacts as well regardless whether they talk about you or not, and reports to you via “suggestions” or ads.
Thank you David and Rob for the valuable information
Person of Interest is one of the best show I had!
I thought it was great. And well ahead of it's time 😀
@@davidbombal Yes, I completely agree. It's one of those shows that still feels relevant today!
Salvation was great, but Person of Interest is the best show of all time. If you follow the tension between the USA and China within geopolitician and technology, then you will realize and understand the whole concept
I am currently watching person of interest and love it.@@fariadworld446
There needs to be laws, perhaps even constitutional amendments that protect personal data, private correspondence, biometrics, etc.
Companies, including social media platforms, advertisers, AI and “personal assistants”, and tech/media corporations should exclusively collect information for the purposes of providing you a product or service, they should only hold that data for the duration necessary to fulfill their end of the transaction, they should not sell or distribute that data without the user’s consent, and it should require a court order and strict supervision for anyone to access data outside of that circle of informed consent.
Europe has GDRP. America the land of being stalked by the entities and unhinged creeps .
They twist it, they say it’s to stop terrorism, child abuse etc etc. they twist it to suit them.
There are laws the problem is the government gets around it because it’s an AI is not an individual nor is it part of the government. They need to rewrite laws to address this
There needs to be a reckoning...
You're living in your imagination if you think that the Government won't control everything in the near future. Never mind what 'should' happen, let's just focus on what 'is happening' instead.
Not only apple ,we are recorded everywhere on the internet,phones,computers, camera's on the street.
Don't put your personal life on your phone and computer anymore.
Too late...
Ya know I'm old school here! I have found if your worried about who is listening or spying , just wrap phone in heavy duty tin foil, double wrap, wrap tight, and leave for half hour, hour,whatever. Now when you unwrap watch what appears right away or is stored, notification and from who and that info is what to pursue! This is always good to wrap your phone if you suspect a STING-RAY DEVICE! No Transmit or receive signals from the phone and you are in "tin foil stealth mode!" Hey it's cheap you probably have some in the kitchen right now! Peace and prosperity to all my brothers and sisters!! Montana Rick
Just buy a small Faraday bag
Why spend the money
Wrapping your phone in foil just acts as an antenna if you don’t have a proper insulator..
Just do it and see what happens… since when phone became a part of who we are ? It is a tool a device so use it as tool ! Simple 😊 no need to carry it everywhere you go ❤
"OS constantly listens to you now" - but it doesn't listen for everything. It listens for specific pattern to be activated. That's why you have to pre-record "hey siri" for siri to be properly triggered. Listening and analyzing the whole flow would drain the battery easily. Now it's a separate chip that doesn't consume much and just triggers the "active listening"
@ you can easily prove that if you're smart enough
@@BadBoiFX which is?
Imagine actually believing this
@@darkdays6196imagine being so incompetent in computer security and signals intelligence that you think this isn’t technically possible and isn’t being exploited
@@ProBallerJake7 thats what i was saying. The original comment implies it only listens when you request for it to listen, which is absurd. I get ads for things i never type and only talk about in real life. I told my wife i was gonna give her the kielbasa and i got a hillshire farm ad an hour later. Theyre always listening
People were so worried about RFID chips, but they all have phones that know all about you, and have cameras and microphones and apps pirating you for data
David love you man and your content
Thank you! I appreciate that :)
Intel also recently announced their Core Ultra 200S processor which has a built-in Neural Processing Unit (NPU) specifically for on-device AI processing. So it's not out of the question that processing will be done exclusively on-device, and maybe if a query is too complex, a prompt to send the data for cloud processing? idk
Really glad to see this being discussed. I would be really interested to know if there was outside consultation used for some of these new features and technology.
The person of interest intro is perfect for this video. I miss that show, thanks for the throwback.
its always good to see you to chat on privacy but i would love to see OTW join the show with you , that would be a killer combo of three
The reason Rob is so good at predicting things is that he knows there is nothing free. You pay a price one way or another.
I love Rob's channel.
This is why I'm so happy we have SUI and Walrus now. This is the basis to build fully decentralized, scaling applications that are controlled by the users and not the companies. Web3 is the possibility to escape the operate overlords. It took us a while to build the bases, most L1s don't work for various reasons as a app basis, most of them don't scale to 1M TPS and more and not with constant transaction cost. Finality over 1s does not work, people get frustrated...
Exciting times we have now
I watched Rob for a long time now. Really enjoy what he has to say and its true.
I also commented on one of his videos is the risk (on a pc or even phone) when the AI chip can interpret what the gpu has to display, then changing the OS wont even help any more. So the only solution is only to stay as long as possible on old devices until we have another solution.
I no longer carry a smartphone. I use a basic Doro phone which only does calls and texts. I do however use an iPad at home for banking and online shopping. Life is much happier without carrying a mini computer everywhere that spies on me 😁
Same issue
These will stop working when they switch off 3G and 4G. Our 2G is down already.
Rob Braxman is a hero
I spent days researching & turning every single setting in my iPhone 14 Pro off (to maximize privacy) when I got my phone when it came out. So no Siri, or data share or app access to internet etc. on 01/13/2024 I was in a parked semi truck that rolled over when the road collapsed & My iPhone 14 Pro Called 911 and Told 911 that a crash had been detected.
Means you missed some settings. It’s quite simple. Don’t make it sound like a 3 hr movie should be made because your iPhone did something normal.
The Google Pixel's already have most of the features mentioned here
Yup and they sell and profit from the data. Apple does not make money from selling PII
@@_efault I would not trust that. Its like the "privacy sandbox" google introduced, that is even worse in terms of privacy than we had before.. but since it says its a privacy sandbox people thinks it safe cause of the name lol.
The internet guy , Rob Brahman is good guy. . Telling the privacy and security thing's
Love Robb and his channel. Glad he's getting more reach! Good job!
Edit: isn't it interesting that they call their AI Spyware an agent.
Speech less!
Time to simplify. 🙏
A lot of the concepts here about linking tangential information to a target data point has in fact been solved within the subject matter of database anonymization, Stacy Prowell has some good lectures on youtube about anonymizing databases (with probability, with adding noise, removing determinants, etc.). I don't know if tech companies do that and I will believe they don't until I see proof otherwise, but the math and the practice is there to make data collection and anonymization secure.
Privacy is not a myth, it's YOUR right.😖😖😖
Not anymore. You know what your reading when you agree to anything google. Click yes no privacy
How funny is it that our phones😂😂😂😂 even hears ppl break wind. Which means farting to the younger crowd...that is sooooo funny that even our farts get heard😂😂
That’s not funny! Because they are listening to everything you say or even things you mumble under your breath!!
The moment I saw Rob, I knew this will be a great episode! Great content, as always, David!
They knew what they were building wayy back in 1984, when their first major commercial about the Macintosh ended with the quote, "... and you'll see why 1984, won't be like 1984..."
Thank you guys! 🙏
Its funny that they are almost forcing people to use those machines. I just lived 2years without smartphone, and that was the best time of my life :)
The only people not being tracked and monitored are that one family member who still refuses to buy a cell phone. And i bet they have stories about how life is very difficult for them. Because the government doesnt want you to be free. It will make obstacles to make you think you need a phone.
Or buy Huawei phone without iOS and android
You two guys are the best!! Thanx for ur vids!!
💯 Mr. Braxman is on point on this. Unfortunately a surveillance state is inevitable going forward even in a constitutional republic.
The Bible speak of the end times and these steps we are currently experiencing toward large scale population control are steps in what is to come.
All the emergency set up is ready in place in the phone 📱 earthquake and disasters
I don’t know what you are all using your phone for. I don’t care what they want to „spy“ on my phone 😂
You are such a great guy, David Bombal
The scanning and analysis (monitoring) of your data will enable your "AI Personal Assistant/Agent" to "Learn" & "emulate you", and be able to eventually influence/direct your behaviour (actions/reactions) as well as "document" on your "Unique Client Interactions".
Yeah, privacy concerns are valid, but at the end of the day, we all want to use these features, and AI needs data to work effectively. The real issue isn’t just data collection itself-it’s whether the data is stored securely and handled responsibly. As long as companies ensure proper security and transparency, the trade-off is worth it.
cover the cameras with removable decals.. so if you ever choose to facetime with your family, you can.. cover your camera all other times.. and turn off tracking notifications..
Microsoft copilot, google Gemini, apple intelligence. All same level threat
Yes, they do not even hide it anymore. I know I saw. And, they are doing their best to hold onto the last bit of control as they can.
PS: I physically write everything down. I do not put all things into the phone, computer of my own. 😊 You can not let someone else write your story for you. It is not "authentic" that way.
They can also map the room you're in via your cameras. The ir is just another tool to do the same. However this is all useful information
Why would you say however? You said it gathers information. Using the word however should only be used if it’s going against what you previously said.
@RolandKoller90 true, but however, in my perspective reflects common theory
This is scary, would love to see how to protect your details for the future
Pretty sure that companies or AIs are not studying you and your habits. Rather, they are looking for a way to influence you.
I cover the phone camera everytime whenever i dont want it to see what i am doing , it a hassle but i have to cover it
There is a secret camera in the screen itself
I had my phone off and it was still transmitting once in a while. The only way to have it off completely is to remove the battery off of that phone!
Internet is designed to be intrusive and the people who regulate it are the ones we should be holding to account.
Actually the Internet was invented for games and not to control the world.
This Video should play on News every single day.
The “news” is pro surveillance state.
The man is wikipedia of privacy, really impressive
every sensor on your phone is harvesting data
I don’t deny that all these tech companies track every move we make but have you guys heard of: “Create fear and than offer a solution”, saying?
Just a small note, IR is not looking for a heat source.
Good informative video and good product placement.
Linux and FreeBSD have a bright future.
There are many other options as well, especially *BSD ones.
I love this guest. I’ve seen a lot of his videos. My only question right now is…. If Google is tracking everything you do online. Especially if ya have a Google account for things like UA-cam Channels. How has Google not taken this down?
Finally someone paying atention to what i'm doing 🙌
The thing is even if I use a de-googled phone and I am about in pubic, the other phones may still scan my phone, right? Now, since I have a de-googled phone, my phone won't transmit any data, but the other phones in proximity surely will flag me as unrecognizable device which then the AI of other device will take control of what they can find about me or in my phone, right?
Put it in a faraday bag Bruh.
Only put it out when you need it. Apart from that, keep it in the faraday Bag.
@gesunderpsychopath8569 Sure, the Faraday bag is the only option, but why it has come to this stage that every other person is trying to be invisible on the internet. I really miss the good old phones where if you want to disappear, you just remove the battery. I think the main problem is the general public. If we would have raised our concern about privacy, the big tech companies wouldn't have gone this far, google and apple.
@@robert8 that's why it was only revealed that our devices were spying on us in 2013. not in 2007. by that time everyone was hooked and no one could imagine living without one
I'm afraid the best way to limit the data that can be collected is new laws and a new legislative framework to deal with how personal data can be handled and how intrusive AI can be. Running away from everything is only a temporary solution. You need to get the people in congress to do the right thing. I know that is an oxymoron since we know they are a big part of the problem. I know its hard, but the only way they listen is the hard way. It would take a lot of civil action on the part of the IT security community to push this forward. I like that you guys are doing awareness, but more needs to be done to halt the insanity of the technocrats.
Communication without internet is probably why they're rebooting in police custody. All of the phones see each like "Hey bro why you hear? I don't know there's a bunch of us here. Reboot party, I think we are stolen? Sure! "
he is very interesting to listen to , he loves what he does.
Do the faraday bags block the tracking ?
Bear in mind that we also look at things we find to be objectionable, and when I click on a video's three dots to select "not interested" I often find the option is missing. So by then, I would have may have given a mistaken indication of positive interest by merely clicking on it, but without being able to accurately indicate why.
Tells us apple is a privacy nightmare, but uses AirPods Pro
Back to Nokia
😂
I am subscribed to both channels which provide quality materials all the time. Keep up the good work David!
I cover up all the cameras on my phone and actually leave home without it.
The garbage they send my way tells me they know nothing about what I like or enjoy. Lol
Privacy is dead and we aren't far behind.
I like the last part.
DAVID STAY WAY FROM THOSE EARPODS I LOVE YOU UNCLE D
I got a ad for an iPhone 16 from Verizon during this video LMAO
Why you would want an iPhone is beyond me.
A lot of people like the Apple ecosystem and the phone features. They don't know as much about the privacy concerns unfortunately.
@@davidbombal A lot of people I have met who have them do know about the privacy implications, perhaps they don't think it will hurt them and it likely won't so they simply don't care.
I'm a nerd and I like to tinker, iPhone has always been too locked down for me. Android gives me choices in just about everything. It's a computer - We tell it what to do, not the other way around.
Cheers David.
Ripoff but the camera is usually better. I just bought a real camera instead that outperforms and was less expensive 😂
It's very US specific, I didn't know for quite some time that lots of people in the US have an iPhone. I mean, lots, a LOT more than in Europe, where you will see it by far not that often - Android is much more common. As far as I know, you might even get made fun off at college or school or whatnot if you don't have an iPhone but some Android. Seems to be a prestige object even more than in Europe, although in Europe it's far beyond Android.
@@etziowingeler3173 Yeah, it must be something in the water here.
Sometimes feel like the phone can read my mind.
I hear this a lot from non-US folks that the US privacy regulations don't apply to them... as if the US does not have a base in every NATO country, didn't force Australia to try their own citizen with treason for whistleblowing about US war crimes in Afghanistan, as if the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Section 702 act doesn't include "authorizes the [warrantless] targeted collection of foreign intelligence information from non-U.S. persons located abroad." (Mind you the only outrage I've seen of this int he US is that it's been used on Americans abroad as well)
America runs the world and has no problem openly showcasing that.
Linux: That's where I come in.✌️😎
Can I marry you 😂
Linux: Well, if you use Debian or Ubuntu? 😂
but not on phone ... it is very rare and hard to find a linux phone and it might not work for you ...
Absolutely right.
Don’t worry about the government, worry about their bosses, corporations, and billionaires
I remember watching david bombal since years ago. It’s scary to see how he has to talk now regarding the UK government. Stay safe David
Thanks. You’ve really improved my knowledge of AI. I think that end-to-end encryption protect Apple rather than you because the encryption key sits at Apple not with you and if you want to know what is being uploaded you cannot know
this video was suggested by UA-cam to me using the same "personal context". Well done Google
Teenagers outsmarted this country, USA , no matter what, they have won.
Hate speech could be considered talking against a robot these days yes hate speech laws!!!
I had a Canon Hi8 video camera in the late 80's that tracked your eye movement. I thought that this was pretty out of it back then. Now it's fully arrived.
Can using the De Google phone still be tracked when communicating with someone with an iPhone??
Imagine the next mustache man being able to find people opposing him just to have their lives == Null...and find them in a few seconds too...
I asked ChatGPT what kind of music it thinks I like, and got this answer:
”Based on what I know about your projects and interests, I would guess you might enjoy music that aligns with your technical and creative pursuits. Perhaps you’re drawn to electronic music, synthwave, or ambient tracks that can accompany your focus while working on coding, engineering, or building systems. You might also appreciate instrumental or orchestral music that allows for deep concentration, or even retro video game soundtracks, given your work on game-related concepts like FPV video integration.”
Pretty much spot on.
Not exactly a very difficult observation to make
I asked Copilot, which I use multiple time per day, "What type of music do I like based on what you know about me?" and the response was "Based on our conversation, I don't have specific details about your music preferences. However, I can help you explore different genres or artists if you tell me a bit about what you enjoy! Do you like upbeat and energetic music, something more relaxing, or perhaps a specific genre like rock, pop, jazz, or classical? Let me know, and I can make some recommendations!" Generic and good for now, but as Rob says I am sure this will be changing.
@@cryptoponics Maybe copilot don´t have the same capabilities for memory as ChatGPT do now. Now, when you open up a new chat with ChatGPT and make a prompt you see a "memory loading..." notification, so they obiously store data from previous sessions, or at least summaries of old conversations. Which from a privacy standpoint is scary as fuck, but from a usability standpoint is quite nice
Not disagreeing but it could make this conclusion from previous prompts like you asked it about tech
@@expl0siveR3x Yes, of course, that is exactly what it did.
Interesting....🤔 Thank you for the information!
Edit: I was paranoid about the Patriot Act when I was a kid, but now I am more paranoid of the iPhone.
just connect your phone to burp suite or sniff with wireshark and you can see lot of traffic is going from your phone
i have Quad9 apps/dns i can see that my phones did 82817 queries to databrocker, adds, google, etc etc
How do you sniff? I downloaded Wireshark but it's not easy to figure out. I'm not a tech person. I have no privacy tho and want to check it out
Some of these predictions where easy people are greedy not all, but the majority don't even get the flaw in the concept of the act of being greedy they haven't yet experienced how greed leads to destruction so they think there's no consequences, but there are.
My Name Is Bond... James Bond. yes I know you already, my name is Apple.
