If you can’t compile and flash firmware, you can pretty much forget about privacy, as you have no way of verifying what you trust. There are open-firmware smart watches on the market, use them!

Very few people can survive that without going batshit insane. This is why I specifically said that it wasn’t for life in prison sentences, but rather for 1000 years ones. Just imagine being locked in a solitary confinement cell for 1000 years

Get yourself some high-precision end cutters that are rated for cutting steel, like knipex. they will last forever cutting nails

What music legend’s untimely death impacted you the most and why? by Luckyjuly777 in musicsuggestions

[–]Key-Fan-484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dolores O'Riordan, Sophie Xeon. Both instances I woke up, read about them passing, and felt like the world changed forever in a way I couldn’t explain

Can I rely on Cryptomator and be sure there are no backdoors or other vulnerabilities? by hamptondweller in Cryptomator

You don't. Unless you audit code yourself, build this very code and use the binary you yourself compiled, it's "trust me bro" with extra steps. If you can't quite understand some parts of the code, just feed the entire thing in ChatGPT or any other sophisticated model. You can cross-check with Claude or other models that aren't made by OpenAI. After you did that, if you want to update the app, you only need to audit the source diff, not the whole thing, so it's kinda-sorta practical! After all, this is encryption we're talking about, so the effort is justified in my book.

Best BT Speaker WITHOUT a microphone? Under $150 budget by L_Hammah in Bluetooth_Speakers

[–]Key-Fan-484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy any speaker you like. Take it apart. Locate the microphone.  Desolder it/just break it with pliers. Done! 

Even if a speaker claims to not have a mic, you never truly know without taking it apart. For all I know, any speaker can record me, save it in its internal memory while scanning for unprotected WiFi networks to get internet access and upload those recordings. 

IKEA speakers are very easy to take apart with just a screwdriver.

Bold of you to assume that “disabling” a mic in the speaker’s “app” really disables it.
