Privacy Tip: Turn off your wifi and bluetooth when you're not using them!!! - Наука та технологія
Back in the olden days I would check the time on other people's wrist watches without them knowing I was reading their time. 😅
I've heard of privacy screen for laptops years back, but not for phones though. Like at the airport, or on planes. If you want to make the cutout for your fingerprint to look professional, without doing what Naomi did, use a hole punch or awl to start the hole, or use a scalpel knife.
Ooooh hole punch is a great idea
If it helps anyone who has a privacy screen on a pixel, to make the finger print work, when u put on the screen you do a new fingerprint scan setup on it and the main thing that helps is to have ur thumb sit on it sideways, like facing east and west ( 3 and 9 o’clock ) when it’s like that it’ll actually register ur finger.
OH I never thought of redoing my fingerpring scan with the screen on 👀 I'm going to try that!
@@NaomiBrockwellTV please update if it works
Couldn‘t register a print with a Pixel 5.
@NaomiBrockwellTV and sometimes to make it work faster and lessen errors you can do several parts of different fingers...even though the prints are a little different I think it recognizes them faster
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN But increases the false positiv.
My favorite Aussie and UA-cam channel.
Aussie !! I thought she was a Brit
@@evanr6421it could be easy to confuse. But there are different word inflections with both of the accents.
The more you hear the two, the more it makes it easier to tell.
She doesn't say "privvasie', instead of 'praivasie', so couldn't be a real Brit. Thought she was a New-Zealander, though.
i had no idea you get bluescreen + privacy screen protectors. bluescreen emf reduction to reduce eye strain = super important to me. thanks for the tip
I have the Elite Privacy 360 glass from Zagg. It was $60 but well worth it. It not only blocks view from left or right, but top and bottom too. Everyone should have something like this.
So easy and yet so protective! Thanks Naomi, excellent info as per usual!
Beside all this tools, they should be a petition world wide to make Privacy and Encryption a human right without any loop holes for any govermant or company's and not only on earth, people have to think about future generations too. 🖖
Nope just don't do stupid thing
You think governments work for you???
They already are, but different governments don’t like them. Did you know that TPM 2.0 chips are banned from personal computers in China ?
@@seansingh4421 no I don't, are this encryption chips 🤔
I had a couple days a exident with my phone, if I wouldn't had the protection on it I had to buy a new display. It saved me a bunch of money. 🤞
i bought those polarized covers for my phone and as it makes my screen a bit darker, the level of privacy confidence i have especially at public places is greater.
Glad to see you're a Woman of Culture. 👍
I simply don't do any banking, sensitive financial/personal stuff, or work on my phone. Big Tech surveillance and basement trolls are the real problems.
Used to use them.... but found them to be to dark in general.... but will definitely have look at the newer versions...since it has been a few years...since i last used them... Hope they have the protector that imitates glass...
Thank you, Naomi for bringing up this topic about privacy screens! I followed your channel for quite some time and I was able to apply some tips without too much effort, setting a middle ground between convenience and privacy. Still use some Google services, like Gmail, Maps and UA-cam, but I minimise as much info as I can and Microsoft's Office Suite, but I use OO Shut Up++ to fully switch off telemetry (I turn off connected experiences to an extent) and switch on connected experiences back when I need. Very informative and helpful videos! What I said regarding apps and services aren't related the video, but again, I set a middle ground to enhance privacy, whilst maintaining a good level of convenience.
Firstly, I want to start by saying that, for example: when I get inside the bus to go to my university, I snooped on to see (I normally don't do that, BUT that's the reality) what people what they're doing on their phones WITHOUT any privacy screens because they aren't concerned at all about not having one. And, I agree that it leads to shoulder surfing and it can pose a serious privacy and security risk, and the fact that the phone's or laptop's screen goes a little darker, but nothing overly-concerning. It would have been convenient to have a privacy screen to apply to my laptop or my phone. Most of the time, I put my arm at an angle so that others don't see what I'm doing on my phone or laptop when typing sensitive information. I do that when typing my PIN to pay for the things I buy at stores or when withdrawing money. I am not overly-concerned of not having a privacy screen, but what I do is setting a reasonable time-out for my laptop and phone (laptop: 2-3 minutes and phone: 30 seconds). For my laptop, I can also hibernate to prevent unauthorised access, when I set in Windows to require a password after wake-up (that's when your current user state is restored), so that people don't have access to anything stored on my devices.
Also, I personally prefer not using biometrics, such as: fingerprint readers or facial recognition (they might be quicker, but there are BIG RISKS involved) because companies store this in their databases. No kidding! I use PIN and password, the old-fashioned way. I don't care what others are thinking, but it's better than none.
Very good. Thank you once again! 😊
I have used privacy screens for years. I have mentioned them to you a while ago.
You used to be able to get a sheet to cut to size for a laptop or monitor about 8 to 10 years ago.
Great advice, thanks.
Thanknyou for this Naomi! One thing to note, a fingerprint is much easier to compel than information from your brain.
All about threat models, most people are more concerned about someone seeing them type in a pin in public
Make a BROCKWELL braded screen blocker .💙
I zoned out working on something while watching this and about crapped my pants as I got pulled back to the video at 1:38
They're golden and hugely underrated.
Thank you so much for this video. I suppose that this is the first time I can say that I'm glad to be a blind user of a screen reader on my devices. All the software I use has the ability of blacking out the screen. On my phone, I can just triple tap the display, and then nobody can see what's on it. Then I just shut it off if I want somebody to see something. But, on the other hand, there are holes in this. I can forget to switch it back on. So I might still go for a privacy screen to make absolutely certain that it's harder for people to see my screen.
Thanks!
Thanks so much for your support!!
👍🏻
i use privacy screen on my phone
Thanks for posting this video
thanks for watching!
Once again thanks so very much for the valuable info on privacy that your videos provide. I will subscribe to your e-mail list. lso. Keep up the outstanding work and God Bless.
Clever approach with the fingerprint reader. I tend not to use my print as an unlock as in the US police can force you to unlock with your finger or face*, but not with a passcode.
(* Varies with district. I'm fully aware that my odds of being asked to unlock my phone by the police are pretty low, but that's ok.)
Would adding the plastic version over an existing glass screen protector be too much for the touch screen function? Anyone know?
Thanks Naomi.
Thanks Ron
For those thay would go the work around route to cutting a hole of the screen protector.
Let me recommend an x-acto blade.
yeah probably way less janky than my solution lol
@@NaomiBrockwellTV We thank you for helping spread the knowledge with us all!
Hallelujah!!!! The daily jesus devotional has been a huge part of my transformation, God is good 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻was owning a loan of $47,000 to the bank for my son's brain surgery (David), Now I'm no longer in debt after I invested $8,000 and got my payout of $270,500 every months,God bless Christy Fiore 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸..
Hello!! how do you make such monthly, I’m a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down of myself 😭 because of low finance but I still believe God
Thanks to my co-worker (Carson ) who suggested Ms Christy Fiore
After I raised up to 525k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states🇺🇸🇺🇸 also paid for my son's surgery….Glory to God, shalom.
She's a licensed broker here in the states🇺🇸 and finance advisor.
I've always wanted to be involved for a long time but the volatility in the price has been very confusing to me. Although I have watched a lot of UA-cam videos about it but I still find it hard to understand
I’ve been mobile phone less for 7 months now and not looked back, it’s a freedom I can’t explain, it’s……..nirvana!!!!
if you're hesitant to use a privacy screening, some android phones have a function where you can hide everything but one portion of the screen, I think it might be called horizontal blinds or something like that? Anyway, it's not a solution, but if you know you're going to be extremely sensitive only once in a while, you can use it when you're doing that sensitive activity
I'm not sure, but I think these will probably work with ultrasonic fingerprint sensors (Samsung).
Just FYI before anyone starts cutting holes.
Great content, as always.. but the edit at 4:11 is perfection! 👌
1:36 How does one put a ring on this? 😂 👏 👏 👏 I did not see that one coming, and it was glorious!
Bonjour belle Madame , the thing I don’t like at all is the face recognition on my new iPad, I like better the finger print recognition. ❤😊
So after watching this video, i gave it a shot... a few shots, actually.
Three different vendor's privacy screens and two vendor's clear screens.
In short, on privacy screens, IMHO, the loss of fingerprint access is NOT WORTH any minimal gain of increased privacy.
Your mileage may vary, but the delta in readability between a clear and privacy screen is not that great. Many vendors will claim a 30 degree block-out, but in reality it is closer to 45 degrees, at best (this also depends on what is being blocked... a PIN entry pad or regular fonts).
A clear screen will also become unreadable at a low angle, maybe about 60 degrees. So a privacy delta gain of about 15 degrees... depending. In any event, there remains a significant window where the privacy screening is ineffective.
HOWEVER, the cruncher for me was the loss of my finger print reader. Only my third privacy screen enabled a 'normal' use of the fingerprint reader.
In practice, IMHO, unless your privacy screen can also allow the use of your fingerprint reader, it's probably not worth using BECAUSE every time you are forced into inputting your PIN, you are put in a 'security exposure window', whereas this is not the case with the fingerprint reader. In effect, you need to balance this exposure off with the increased delta the privacy screen gives you (as discussed above... maybe an additional 15 to 20 degrees).
Okay, so what can I tell you about my third privacy screen?
So like the others, the viewing angle was very similar... about 45 degrees before block-out occurs. BUT the big deal is that the fingerprint reader works flawlessly !!!
I did not even need to redo my fingerprints. They all worked 'right out of the box'.
I did not purchase this privacy screen online of in a package, so I cannot tell you what Brand it was. I had 'expertly' put on by a girl at one of those phone repair, phone case and accessories stalls.
She sold/described it to me as a 'new HD hydrogel screen' that was 'self-healing on minor scratches', but also allowed the fingerprint reader to work (which it does).
So there you go, Some tips on what to look for in a privacy screen.
And unless to can, otherwise, cut a hole over your fingerprint reader, not having that fingerprint reader is, in itself, a security exposure.
(And BTW, if you're using a (Dot) Pattern to access you phone... Stop It !!! That has to be the most easily observable Access Method out there.)
I have a glass privacy screen on my de-Google'd Pixel 8. The fingerprint reader works just fine through the privacy screen. I had to delete my fingerprint data and re-scan my finger, but that's it.
I was living in Japan 20 years ago and this tool was built into the glass. Not stick on. You could de-activate it if you like. It was effective from more angles than left and right. They advertised it using the crowded subway scenario. What ever happened to that?
Do these also prevent hackers or others from seeing you through the phone when your camera is covered?
You are the most privacy-focussed babe on the Internet
Maybe some knows how to put this and other protection screens on the display, without getting bubbles and other issues 🤔 also how to make this cleaning wipes(maybe reusable ones) for them, the first and second ones, they don't are in every screen with in the package and getting some kind of pricy for what they are. 🤔🤗
Here is my comment to help with the algorithm 😊. It is all the help I can give, at this point.
Landscape vs portrait orientation? Can you have both?
Do these work for folding phones? I would love to see other ways to get more privacy using physical means like this.
It's a shave too that this screens can be read frome the front, it would be good also that 45° up and down would no be seen by others, I say only cctv cameras ect.
Me buying a phone with a viewing angle more then 160° and then used a privacy screen to hide my chat 🤣
Could you review the Jami messaging app?
I don't have to worry about people seeing sensitive information over my shoulder. I use a 2018 2G Nokia phone.
Like my comment above of you are thoroughly sick of technology.
Love you Naomi
1:39 Ah yes, a Privacy screen protector and a pair of headphones is a teenage boy's paradise
Z. You can make it completely invisible but viewable with Chromatic glasses or just use the film.
1:39 bold of you to assume I would be scared of sharing such information.
Good give me your bank info
I think you forgot to link your newsletter in the description.
A privacy screen won't needed if you don't use the phone when using private things in public. My phone is in my pocket when i'm on my way just listening to music. And it only works when you're on a side try to watch that screen. In some cases you can sit right behind them and yep, you can see what they are doing. Personally i don;t look at other people screens. It's none of my concern and some people hide the phone when someone is going to sit behind or next to them.
👍👍👍
Well done video! I'll buy a privacy screen to use with Windows 11 and its new _features._
*Fingerprint Reader:* I'm not a U.S. constitutional lawyer, but it's my understanding that the authorities cannot compel you to provide a password, as they cannot compel you to testify against yourself, and a password is testimony. But since your fingerprint is not testimony, so they can grab your hand and strong-arm you into unlocking your phone.
The courts have upheld the right of the police to make you unlock your phone if you have a fingerprint unlock code. There are ways around this, but I'm not sure how .
@@DblIre Don't set up your phone to use your fingerprint. Inconvenient, but safe.

Well done video, thanks!

To split the privacy screen for enabling the fingerprint reader is an unconventional but effective solution. I like that idea.
Could you analyze the potential of the memecoin Eddie Seal
1:40 🤣😂😂
Sorry to tell this, but I hade a couple of scrren protection foils and the bubbles don't get away with time if not in a couple seconds.
Thanks
Thank you so much for your support!
Years of development of better, increased viewing angles on screens, and then people deliberately reduce it.
Why not use a hole puncher for the reader hole. You have a name that could be a super hero or villan.
good for the car also 😂
good content;🤩you interviewed a spy but it is risky;
Are we still in the James Bond era, where a simple bit of analog information is the difference between life and death? C'mon man! We're in the 21st century now. For the algorithm.
Someone has taken a filter layer off the display and put it on a pair of glasses. Only with these glasses can you see anything.
Yeah i was doing leg curls at the gym while in between stets some creepy dude in his 50s shoulder surfing while I was checking my email , and I alos remember 7 years ago some lady in her 50s did the same to me while riding the bus, both were white people in their 50s , people 50 and over creep me out because most got nothing going on for themselves I need to get a privacy screen because people here in south Florida are creep as fuck
I used to have one on my phone but I couldn't read it easily... Yeah, I have old eyes. So sadly this is not for me. :(
How about not using the device in the public?
Sounds like a solution to red light cameras grabbing my license plate on camera
✅👍❤️
1:38 ToleTole
I was at a play a few weeks back and i could see everything on a womans phone that was in front of me.
😳
Anywhere not Amazon that I can buy these?
Nope
Aliexpress?
Stupid suggestion..communist china
1:39 can watching something with screen private?
Duh what huh what huh
haha I used to read people's conversations when I was on the bus. They were sitting in front of me or even in the chair next to me and didn't notice that I was looking. How degenerate the world has become.
If you *really* must use a device in a public place make sure your back is to a blank wall so that nobody can get behind/beside you to see the screen… Its not that hard. I, and lot of people I’ve known have been doing it for years.
I can’t believe how many people use 123456 for a password or pa55word. You’re just asking to get hacked.
We call it "anti-spy screen protector" here. Just watch out if you are wearing polarized sunglasses.
What about the damn phone itself?!
Back to the landline?
My privacy is worth way more than any possible convenience.
How about those fancy four FOUR 4 cameras on your devis???
Ducktape!
The media once zoomed into the phone of a certain congresswoman's text messages to read her communication with a former president.
Another lawmaker was caught watching porn instead of hentai!
If only they invested in privacy screen!
So Australians have also dropped the *u*? 😄

They need to keep offering dumb phones, available in 5g instead of forcing everyone to use smartphones
Reduced brightness and contrast, no thanks. Just be careful and ensure no one is nearby if accessing sensitive info in public areas, ain’t rocket science.
For scientific purposes.
Installation of those IS A NIGHTMARE, I am not buying one ever again
The privacy screen maker should make this screens with more letting the light true, I have to make my screen brightness on full if I'm out in the delight, otherwise I can't read anything, without it, I need only 60% brightness. 🤔
1:41 if you laughed, or watch Hentai, or both.... Be sure to hit like, and subscribe... Lol
Nope stop
