That is a wonderfully destructive ending!

It’s not just public knowledge, Lufthansa tested it in commercial airliners a few years ago. it’s just a FUD article to make it look like this is some new unknown super tech.

Is there a way to run these phones without the batteries? I have several android phones that are old/no longer getting updates I’d love to repurpose but don’t really want a bunch of batteries sitting juiced up around the house all the time…

Antivirus would probably be clamav.

As for policy, selinux would be my first Google.

Software allow lists I’m only going to mention system wide since stopping user space installs or chroots would be your software detection tool that I would be clueless on. System wide I’d look at sudo where you can control exactly what root level commands different users/groups can run.

If it’s capable of acting like an fxo card then probably yes, with something like asterisk, without knowing more about the modem I would guess no however. You can see here for a forum discussion on the topic.

I wouldn’t doubt overbearing parents would fit on that list quite nicely too

This honestly still feels premature for a server based OS. I rely on x forwarding and an rdp server for some tasks, and as far as I know Wayland still doesn’t really have support for either of those.

Or MacOS. They've made it seem like those are the only two options besides chromebooks which are just for those who don't want to spend money.

They just updated it to say the 98 year old co-founder died “because of stress related to the raids.”

If you have an Apple computer and are willing to download some code there’s period underground… it’s terribly written by me for my wife. She uses it on her iPhone and it keeps all data local. I never tried to get it on the App Store due to qt licenses, and because the encryption module didn’t compile so it will rely on you not unlocking your device for someone who shouldn’t be seeing the data. There’s other options I’ve seen on here hopefully one of those will work.

It does exist on the android store with encryption as an option and blank data with no warning if you enter the wrong password. Also includes a quick delete and a quick delete with random data written into the database as deletion options

Don’t forget every windows forum solution: “run sfck”!

You're probably right, but why in the heck does instagram need health and fitness data? That really should set off alarm bells to any of the saps downloading that thing...
