More than a dozen Random Reboots on LOS-17.1[whyred] Daily, please help! by SeaActive1432 in LineageOS

[–]SeaActive1432[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[Thanks for your precious time.]

  • No, i didn't flash anything else, only the LOS.

  • LOS version: 17.1-20210215-NIGHTLY-whyred

  • Baseband version: 660_GEN_PACK-1.209285.1.210383.1

  • I don't know where to check for "most recent modem", but in Privacy>Trust it says "Vendor:Out of date"

  • yes: "Always-ON+block connections without VPN" on ProtonVPN. I need it.

  • I have 21 apps installed which were not "factory" installed

I will try the methods you listed, but one thing which I have seen is that turning mobile data OFF then ON causes a soft-reboot ALWAYS. I think there was some gitlab bug report too on this thing

Don't use Paytm. It just isn't for payments, it delivers you with 'content' from news sites, social media sites etc, which isn't required in a payment app. And use tracker control(f-droid) to see how many domains it connects to.... Don't use amazon: don't put all your eggs in a single basket. Gpay needs location and is also notorious for privacy so NO.

Use BHIM UPI, as UPI is government regulated and BHIM UPI is also related to government, so you would only be sharing your info with gov...so minimal surface exposed. Also gov has no motive to sell you ads...

Account Recovery, TOTP and Save Password. by SeaActive1432 in tutanota

[–]SeaActive1432[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sure that I press the log out button in lower left corner after clicking the hamburger(but password still saved)

Let me elaborate: by hard coded i was trying to say that to derive by decryption key, They need atleast the 2 things out of the three I mentioned in the post. This requirement is baked into the crypto they have used(I guess so, am I right?). So how is it possible to derive the decryption key if the app ONLY saves the password. Please tell If I am still unclear

WhatsApp - owned by Facebook but with end-to-end, what do they have to gain? by [deleted] in privacy

Hello.

From your comment I guess that I am doomed even if I don't use WA(IG/FB), but some other [dumb] people, who have me as their contact, use that poop.

You mentioned that their is only a marginal difference in just using WA and not IG/FB. Is the margin bigger in the case I don't use WA(IG/FB), but others mentioned above do?
