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 ☹️
Robs own channel covers many countermeasures including things like degoogled phones. David has been good enough to put a link in the description to Robs channel.
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. Funny that the only major phone with an unlocked boot loader is actually the pixel. This stuff plus Proton mail unlimited with its associated encrypted apps. Good folks out of Switzerland.

I’m not a hacker by any means. In the past couple of years I’ve learned just enough about hacking to make me ultra paranoid. While messing around with my TP-Link router, I found a glitch or “bug” in the system logging. I was trying to see if the access log was actually keeping track of outside connections. What I found was that, when ever the time and date are reset, ALL of the systems logs are reset. Essentially, allowing remote access with the records of that access erased.

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!

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.

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
Congratulations that your years of effort distributing useful info to those in the dark, that you have now made your great passion, your profession. That is the key to success in any case
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
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.
In the Snowden leaks, the NSA had an AI system which automatically acquired targets through exploitation. You give the system a name of an individual and the AI Attack System chose the routes and exploit tools to employ until the target was acquired. AI, starting at MIT and SRI in the 70's, has made a lot of progress through government projects, which benefit secret government projects on a parallel path.
"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
Or carbon credit. Using too much is causing too much heat to the atmosphere. But there is going to be double standard: Data Centers and A.I use way more energy than human being.
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.
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.
I covered the cameras on my iPhone and plug in a dummy mic plug so it can’t hear. Will it adapt and find other ways to fill that data gap like HAL did?
@@denischiosa4496 right, the device has a microphone array, it's not one mic. The dummy microphone is a different thing. The true dummy mic isn't a dummy mic at all, and it's going to be phased out when the devices become portless. The real way to do it is by disassembling the entire phone, cementing the microphone diaphragms, and then reassembling, so that the only mic it can use is the headphones, which you obviously only plug in when you want a mic. They're phasing out ports, and it'll all be MagSafe Qi soon
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.
You can always create new apple id whenever you buy new iphone and keep that ai agent at "learning" state for another year or more. Just make sure you don't use apple backups to transfer data from old phone to prevent transfer of created ai context. There are tons of solutions to have private cloud in your home device and those backups (multimedia, docs, contacts, etc) can be made with third party apps. Also, why not blocking the front camera? Do you really need selfies? It only takes few sensors to be blocked on your phone to keep the ai agent at bay. If you do so, the data from sensors you can't block will be inconsistent making the context not sufficient for processing by ai.
They can and do track your phones location and can tell if you are in protests or anything the government is not happy with and this can be down by companies that are not even law enforcement. Privacy is a myth. And people that say others should go and look at the systems and software that I have seen.
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.
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.
Trying to host a website on my Kali Linux machine, but my ISP uses CGNAT, so I can't port forward to make it accessible externally. Customer support wasn’t helpful-they didn’t understand port forwarding. I don’t have a budget for paid services. Any free workarounds to bypass CGNAT or make my site public.
On-device AI, I run Ollama locally -- eventually they can push these updates to Windows 10 and older devices, phones, bc models are getting smaller and smaller (quantized)
I like how he only said that an iPhone was the 'most advanced spying device' because he's selling an Android based phone. He wouldn't sell maybe phones if he told the truth about it being any modern smart phone including Android.
Unfortunately there is a keyogger which is reading as I'm typing this How do I know? Because while typing something that sounded classified but was not my screen lit jup saying, "ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO POST THIS". I didn't. 😂
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.
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 wonder if they hide setting aside battery charge for this offline AirTag mode behind a “degrading battery”, since an older device likely has more valuable data they’d want the powered off state to last longer.
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..."
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?
In the bottom of every cell phone I've disecected there is a solid plbastic bar. T4here is something in every microspeck of space in all cell phones there is something. A diamond wheel saw turned it to goo. 3 ft bolt cutters reveals a tiny 1 cm round battery with a very tiny fan. There is a waterproof hair thin gold wire embedded in the plastic leading to a prong near the main battery. The antenna is an inert RFID sticker embedded in the rearcover. It may be graphene now. It can be activated remotely by find device or law enforcement or OnStar. This has been there at least a decade. 🐣
If these corporate AI's are receiving context from a user (Phone or Computer) how is the user identity determined? A fingerprint? A hash value? A seed value?
I leave my iphone in one place and only use it there. I do not take it out with me. I have an old ipod from the early 2000's that I use for internet when I am out and about, it contains no personal information or email address. I also covered the cameras and mic on my iphone. Does this help?
@@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 keep waiting for things like the Librem or Pinephone with physical switches for cameras, wifi, etc. to mature. Sadly I've been waiting for years. I will probably buy a Braxphone for my next device.
If this is happening, can and will it be a problem, if you have given up worrying about your personal data being available or out there. How would that be a bad thing? In turn how will that be a good thing for the user?
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
I being to ask if apple intelligence is really on the device, as I’m on the 18.2 and when running my vpn I can’t us the chatGTP intergraded within now I begin to question if what they say it’s anonymous and private yet while running my VPN on device it doesn’t work
BT has a distance limitation of less that 100 ft and a hop limit somewhere between 9 and 20, so 1-2000 feet before it needs to be back on an IP network. Meshed networks are now fairly standard on Wi-Fi and BT… so I you what to be offline, power off and storage you iPhone in a metal box or wrap it in aluminum foil… unfortunately it’s all true…. Cellular/Wi-Fi engineering is what I do for a living.
💯 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.
It will be very hard for a developer to get anything done if you cant use any mainstream devices. I need windows for developing and testing .Net, I need both an iPhone and an Android device (with a mainstream distro) to be able to test mobile apps, I need a mac to be able to compile iOS and MacOS apps... Unfortunetly not every developer can be an open source Python freelancer working on Linux!
i have an iphone, all i do is phone text navigation bus schedule i don't shop bank nothing financial. i ahve used the browser but that was about three years ago when i was traveling.
Even beyond your phone, I would say your mobile phone number itself is a bane to privacy. How many times is one asked to identify themselves by entering a number? No business would say "Please enter your Social Security number," yet; we hand out our phone numbers without thinking deeper. And its always asked you provide a "mobile" number, rather than a land line.
Let’s do a video on turning off these Orion’s for more privacy. How about a faraday bag for your iPhone, how about hacks for your iPhone. I know this guy wants to sell his phone, but ppl like me already have the technology, let’s hear some options for that.
Aisle L23 at most Lowe's has a hammer somewhere. How about selling your phone and getting a BA Samsung A14? And with the rest of the money you could buy a lot of Ice Cream in Aisle B4. P. S. I made up the aisle at random. Hope this helps.
Actually Rob Braxman's videos teaches how to protect your privacy by yourself, there are numerous videos teaching how make a degoogled android phone like the ones he sells. A Faraday bag will temporarily cut your phone's connection, but it will still collect your available sensors and upload the data as soon as network is re-established. The result will be a log such as "the user probably put his phone in Faraday bag while going from point A to point B", the sensors are able to predict if you were walking, on a bicycle, on a motorcycle or in a 4 wheel from A to B.
I think it's important to remember to point out to the viewer that people should understand what threat modelling is and whether this much anonymity is actually needed and worth the trade off by being inconvenienced. Telemetry information so long as its not identifiable is not a problem for the majority of people. Sure there are those out there that need to worry about having 100% anonymity because they are targets by nation-states but this isn't most people. It's always a tradeoff. I'm ok with telemetry but not to the level say that Microsoft does it. But say someone like Canonical just collecting non-identifiable data on how you use their Linux operating system so they can make it better. People end up paranoid about everything and it's not needed for most people.
I agree with you. When David started mentioning the deGoogled phones of the guest it became apparent to me that this lecture about privacy - though mostly technically correct (with some assumptions here and there) - was aimed to monger fear and personal gains.
Both. Big corporate is where government gets the data they can't legally gather themselves. Meaning it is illegal for the government to spy on you like this so they outsource it, why is that? You should worry about ANYONE doing this to you.
It looks like we're going to have to choose between security and privacy. I can see security requiring the latest patches at all times, yet the privacy conscious firms cannot keep up with the pace of security prevention like the big players who don't care for our privacy.
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! "
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

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.

@@denischiosa4496 This isn't side-picking as if I'm backing my favorite team. You're acting like you haven't seen the permission list of google play services. Don't ride out at dawn just because both iOS and Android have downsides bro.
The moment I saw Rob, I knew this will be a great episode! Great content, as always, David!
I am glad to have come to know you guys online (channels) have become more aware of things I would've rather not known or think of in my ordinary day-day living. With that said, I still think all the STUFFS (fears) only for selected few where necessary. In my opinion, most of these advances in phone capabilities have served me better (learning / awareness). But people like you, David, to learn you can be "hacked" and Rod, users protector (user privacy advocate in a way) from big tech companies and one that creates user protected privacy phones.

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
Congratulations that your years of effort distributing useful info to those in the dark, that you have now made your great passion, your profession. That is the key to success in any case
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
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.
In the Snowden leaks, the NSA had an AI system which automatically acquired targets through exploitation.
You give the system a name of an individual and the AI Attack System chose the routes and exploit tools to employ until the target was acquired.
AI, starting at MIT and SRI in the 70's, has made a lot of progress through government projects, which benefit secret government projects on a parallel path.
This Video should play on News every single day.
The “news” is pro surveillance state.
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 internet guy , Rob Brahman is good guy. . Telling the privacy and security thing's
We need more of this! Very informative.
"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
Thank you David and Rob for the valuable information
Next step - social credit system - your phone will rate if you are an asset or a liability to society.
Or carbon credit. Using too much is causing too much heat to the atmosphere. But there is going to be double standard: Data Centers and A.I use way more energy than human being.
Awesome! Thank you for Sharing Rob and David! 💯✴
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.
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.
I covered the cameras on my iPhone and plug in a dummy mic plug so it can’t hear. Will it adapt and find other ways to fill that data gap like HAL did?
did you watch the video? Even if you shutdown your iPhone they know where you are.
@@denischiosa4496 right, the device has a microphone array, it's not one mic. The dummy microphone is a different thing. The true dummy mic isn't a dummy mic at all, and it's going to be phased out when the devices become portless.
The real way to do it is by disassembling the entire phone, cementing the microphone diaphragms, and then reassembling, so that the only mic it can use is the headphones, which you obviously only plug in when you want a mic.
They're phasing out ports, and it'll all be MagSafe Qi soon
David love you man and your content
Thank you! I appreciate that :)
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.
The person of interest intro is perfect for this video. I miss that show, thanks for the throwback.
You can always create new apple id whenever you buy new iphone and keep that ai agent at "learning" state for another year or more. Just make sure you don't use apple backups to transfer data from old phone to prevent transfer of created ai context. There are tons of solutions to have private cloud in your home device and those backups (multimedia, docs, contacts, etc) can be made with third party apps. Also, why not blocking the front camera? Do you really need selfies? It only takes few sensors to be blocked on your phone to keep the ai agent at bay. If you do so, the data from sensors you can't block will be inconsistent making the context not sufficient for processing by ai.
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.
They can and do track your phones location and can tell if you are in protests or anything the government is not happy with and this can be down by companies that are not even law enforcement. Privacy is a myth. And people that say others should go and look at the systems and software that I have seen.
Rob Braxman is a hero
Can using the De Google phone still be tracked when communicating with someone with an iPhone??
The Google Pixel's already have most of the features mentioned here
The most painful part in this is that we pay to them so they can spy on us !
This is scary, would love to see how to protect your details for the future
OMG...this is some scary stuff. Thank heavens I am using Linux and do not own a iphone.
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.
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.
You two guys are the best!! Thanx for ur vids!!
Trying to host a website on my Kali Linux machine, but my ISP uses CGNAT, so I can't port forward to make it accessible externally. Customer support wasn’t helpful-they didn’t understand port forwarding. I don’t have a budget for paid services. Any free workarounds to bypass CGNAT or make my site public.
On-device AI, I run Ollama locally -- eventually they can push these updates to Windows 10 and older devices, phones, bc models are getting smaller and smaller (quantized)
I like how he only said that an iPhone was the 'most advanced spying device' because he's selling an Android based phone.
He wouldn't sell maybe phones if he told the truth about it being any modern smart phone including Android.
DON’T FORGET YOU CAN TURN OFF MICROPHONE AN CAMERA CLEAR AND DELETE COOIKIES From Safari
Unfortunately there is a keyogger which is reading as I'm typing this How do I know? Because while typing something that sounded classified but was not my screen lit jup saying, "ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO POST THIS". I didn't.
😂
How would you know they are not lying.
Rob Braxman is the best on cyber privacy and security.
Is privacy even possible anymore even tor can be tracked now. Even proton mail.
You are such a great guy, David Bombal
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.
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.
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 wonder if they hide setting aside battery charge for this offline AirTag mode behind a “degrading battery”, since an older device likely has more valuable data they’d want the powered off state to last longer.
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..."
Great info this video has motivated me to continue my research
Don't put your personal life on your phone and computer anymore.
Does this includes iPhone 13 ? Or only iphone 16 has this tecnollogy?
He said it started with iPhone 10.
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?
Thank you guys! 🙏
Other than a degoogled pixal what should one use? Is Android better for privacy?
In the bottom of every cell phone I've disecected there is a solid plbastic bar. T4here is something in every microspeck of space in all cell phones there is something. A diamond wheel saw turned it to goo. 3 ft bolt cutters reveals a tiny 1 cm round battery with a very tiny fan. There is a waterproof hair thin gold wire embedded in the plastic leading to a prong near the main battery. The antenna is an inert RFID sticker embedded in the rearcover. It may be graphene now. It can be activated remotely by find device or law enforcement or OnStar. This has been there at least a decade. 🐣
If these corporate AI's are receiving context from a user (Phone or Computer) how is the user identity determined?
A fingerprint? A hash value? A seed value?
Is it possible for neuralink to use BLE tech ?
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.
So what is a great phone? Google pixel with different settings?
same question
No phone is great once you take out all Google & Apple spyapps.
a pixel with custom ROM
I leave my iphone in one place and only use it there. I do not take it out with me. I have an old ipod from the early 2000's that I use for internet when I am out and about, it contains no personal information or email address. I also covered the cameras and mic on my iphone. Does this help?
Rob, Davinci is running fine on Debian based Linux, give it a shot (Mint as an example)
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.
We need more videos like this. Has David done one singularly on GrapheneOS for example
He has o e already, more like a hands on
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
I keep waiting for things like the Librem or Pinephone with physical switches for cameras, wifi, etc. to mature. Sadly I've been waiting for years. I will probably buy a Braxphone for my next device.
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
Wonder what musk's new phone will have in it & how much its gonna cost ?
If this is happening, can and will it be a problem, if you have given up worrying about your personal data being available or out there. How would that be a bad thing? In turn how will that be a good thing for the user?
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.
I being to ask if apple intelligence is really on the device, as I’m on the 18.2 and when running my vpn I can’t us the chatGTP intergraded within now I begin to question if what they say it’s anonymous and private yet while running my VPN on device it doesn’t work
is it possible t be able to retrieve that information?
BT has a distance limitation of less that 100 ft and a hop limit somewhere between 9 and 20, so 1-2000 feet before it needs to be back on an IP network. Meshed networks are now fairly standard on Wi-Fi and BT… so I you what to be offline, power off and storage you iPhone in a metal box or wrap it in aluminum foil… unfortunately it’s all true…. Cellular/Wi-Fi engineering is what I do for a living.
dude they talking about "tracking with apple technology " - 😂 wait till they find out about cellular vlr +hlr 😂😂😂
Microsoft copilot, google Gemini, apple intelligence. All same level threat
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...
💯 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.
It will be very hard for a developer to get anything done if you cant use any mainstream devices. I need windows for developing and testing .Net, I need both an iPhone and an Android device (with a mainstream distro) to be able to test mobile apps, I need a mac to be able to compile iOS and MacOS apps... Unfortunetly not every developer can be an open source Python freelancer working on Linux!
i have an iphone, all i do is phone text navigation bus schedule i don't shop bank nothing financial. i ahve used the browser but that was about three years ago when i was traveling.
Linux and FreeBSD have a bright future.
There are many other options as well, especially *BSD ones.
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.
Even beyond your phone, I would say your mobile phone number itself is a bane to privacy. How many times is one asked to identify themselves by entering a number? No business would say "Please enter your Social Security number," yet; we hand out our phone numbers without thinking deeper. And its always asked you provide a "mobile" number, rather than a land line.
Time to go back to pen and paper.... Using encryption of course 😀
Let’s do a video on turning off these Orion’s for more privacy. How about a faraday bag for your iPhone, how about hacks for your iPhone. I know this guy wants to sell his phone, but ppl like me already have the technology, let’s hear some options for that.
Aisle L23 at most Lowe's has a hammer somewhere. How about selling your phone and getting a BA Samsung A14? And with the rest of the money you could buy a lot of Ice Cream in Aisle B4.
P. S. I made up the aisle at random. Hope this helps.
Actually Rob Braxman's videos teaches how to protect your privacy by yourself, there are numerous videos teaching how make a degoogled android phone like the ones he sells.
A Faraday bag will temporarily cut your phone's connection, but it will still collect your available sensors and upload the data as soon as network is re-established. The result will be a log such as "the user probably put his phone in Faraday bag while going from point A to point B", the sensors are able to predict if you were walking, on a bicycle, on a motorcycle or in a 4 wheel from A to B.

Sooooo underrated!!! ❤️
It’s underrated for a reason coz it’s hogwash.
no wonder there is a sense frustration that seems to come with any constant changes you may make.

I think it's important to remember to point out to the viewer that people should understand what threat modelling is and whether this much anonymity is actually needed and worth the trade off by being inconvenienced. Telemetry information so long as its not identifiable is not a problem for the majority of people. Sure there are those out there that need to worry about having 100% anonymity because they are targets by nation-states but this isn't most people. It's always a tradeoff. I'm ok with telemetry but not to the level say that Microsoft does it. But say someone like Canonical just collecting non-identifiable data on how you use their Linux operating system so they can make it better. People end up paranoid about everything and it's not needed for most people.
I agree with you. When David started mentioning the deGoogled phones of the guest it became apparent to me that this lecture about privacy - though mostly technically correct (with some assumptions here and there) - was aimed to monger fear and personal gains.
big corporate not gov is what we worry about.
I think a lot of people are worried about both.
Both.
Big corporate is where government gets the data they can't legally gather themselves.
Meaning it is illegal for the government to spy on you like this so they outsource it, why is that?
You should worry about ANYONE doing this to you.
I saw Snowden today talking about how our Intel buys Brit Intel on US citizens. 😮😂
It looks like we're going to have to choose between security and privacy. I can see security requiring the latest patches at all times, yet the privacy conscious firms cannot keep up with the pace of security prevention like the big players who don't care for our privacy.
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! "
