You'd need to always keep your phone in airplane mode, and maybe either use a mobile provider that works horrible with GrapheneOS, or change your mobile strength to like 3G, you can completely lose calls and texts when in airplane mode at that point, you'll never get them, maybe you can stop the Pegasus attack.

Or, don't use a phone number, rely on encrypted messaging. But if you must have some number, you could have 2 phones, one with just the phone number and sim card, then the other phone with Signal so your private phone shouldn't be compromised.

Those are the only ways I can think of trying to resist it.

How could I convert the pictures back to a PDF when I'm done?

I was looking for something that I'm confident doesn't spy at the hardware level.

I used Thinkpads as an example because after the early 2010 ones, they got those weird i7 (I believe) processors and we don't know much of what they do but some speculate they record keystrokes and phone data home.

What PC can you trust has good hardware in privacy? I don't want to buy a PC and run Linux, trying my best, and the thing spies at the hardware level.

Amazing background, I love the forest

Time to turn to glass instead of plastic

Sorry for asking, but what even is the use of having a Wireless Access Point? If you have a router then you should be all set, no?

Brave is alright for normies and maybe as a secondary browser.

I'd try a SearX instance or SearX.be and use FireFox or Librewolf as a browser, at least as a primary way to look things up.

I use Vanadium and sometimes DDG or Tor. Mulls a good, hardcore browser as well.

And for vanadium, I use an ad blocking DNS, which is https://dns.adguard.com/dns-query

Isn't perfect but it blocks some ads

I always wondered if I could install a private OS on a smart TV but never found one.

I like Android TVs because I can install f-droid apps on them. Like Cloudstream. I tried to debloat my TV by connecting my laptop to it and running the adb command to remove any bad apps I noticed, but even that's not perfect.

I wanna become an android developer someday and I might look into developing privacy apps focused on Android TVs.

Edit: I removed google play and it's services, so spyware shouldn't be getting updates on my TV and I got it a few years ago now, I think it's ok for privacy right now.

Journalism is so paid off at this point that it's became normal to see. We need to support independent journalists or do our own research.
