google does not, and never had (and likely never will) stand for 'privacy' or security.
apple can con us into thinking that they care about this (and in many ways, they really do) - but google makes no money from the concept of user privacy. its laughable once you think about it. if google seriously tried to tell us NOW that they care about our privacy, we'd have a great big laugh. maybe a year after they were founded and many of us believe the 'do no evil' motto; but now, its 100% eroded and we see the emperor and his lack of clothing.
apple still has some semblance of user privacy as their selling point.
who else does?
more importantly, who else is RICH ENOUGH to withstand the economic pressure that the government would inflict on any company less than apple's level of might, who dares deny papa his due data.
just like there is no free press anymore in popular media; the media will never call the government out on any hardball issues for fear of being cutoff from future interviews or even worse. they are all running scared and so they 'play ball' with the gov and do as they are told. now, 100% worthless. we have no honest reporting left in popular media, in the US.
this is what happens when you let a corrupt government get so powerful, only the richest company in the world would dare to go against them, and its only because their crown jewels (iphone) is at stake.
seriously. you have words from talking bobbing heads. some on 'our' side, some on theirs.
have you seen source code? chip x-rays? design docs? audited the whole system, have you?
very possible (likely, even) that this is false flag info intended to let people think that encryption, as it is today, is 'unbreakable'.
it serves lots of peoples' needs to have the population believe that.
I don't believe it. but I can't prove a damned thing, other than noticing how our 'leaders' have been acting the last few decades and I can tell what things they 'like' and what they avoid. its not hard to add one and one and come up with the right answer.
think about the briar patch from the brer rabbit stories. oh right, you can't watch the 'song of the south' movie since disney banned their own work. but maybe you can find a torrent and see what the briar patch story is all about.
we will never know what goes on in intel's mgmt engine or other parts of intel's chips. amd, too. and nvidia. and and and...
cellphones? get real! so many layers of 'sorry, no spec sheet for you!' in there. locked up tight and only the cell companies, cell makers and nsa can get in.
chips from china? oh, please! as untrustable as it gets.
you can talk all you want about the network - and we need to - but the elephant in the room is the lowest level, the silicon and the microcode that we will NEVER get access to.
if even one link is bogus, the whole chain is bogus.
my conclusion: the whole chain will always be bogus. things are out of hand and never getting back to reasonable levels ever again.
sure, russia is not any great freedom-based country, but the issue at hand is cameron and how he's ALWAYS up in your shit about how encryption is BAD and how it will be the end of The Western World(tm).
THIS is the bullshit we're calling cameron on.
as an american, I don't know that much about cameron, but what I have heard, he's a slimey motherfucker and he's not helping the UK one bit. his kind are toxic to freedom. he deserves any criticism that he gets.
bored overpaid execs who just don't earn their keep anymore - THEY are the ones always who want to change a perfectly good company logo.
sgi had a great logo. the idiots changed it. hp had a very long-running and classic logo. they changed it several times.
I was at DEC and for some odd reason, they kept their nice, working logo for, well, the entire company history! apple has kept theirs mostly the same, too, over their history.
seems some companies hire marketing people who just don't offer anything of real value, they try to justify their jobs and do 'something' but usually they just create crap.
I understand that when a restaurant has a food poisoning and goes out of business (just a name change, really) to refresh itself, I get why that is done. but with hp? ok, the more I think about it, the more I guess I just answered my own question.
lock down that wifi slot! can't have people installing any old compliant and functional pci-e card. gotta make them buy OURS. we'll whitelist only ours, bwahahaha!
evil fucking company. then again, anyone that large is also evil; comes with the territory, it seems;(
with SO MANY other problems that need solving, THIS SHIT is what the southerners spend their time on?
seriously - no wonder its loserville in the south. keep it up, guys; you are nearly 3rd world and I guess you are trying for rock bottom?
sheesh. the anti-intellectualism trend in the south is one thing, but the outright bigotry that is unashamed - wow.
I know there are fans of the south, but shit like this is why I completely refuse to consider moving there for job or any other reason. the backwards attitudes just would not work for any thinking person.
I'm not here to defend paypal! they are scum, clearly. but even scummy companies can make a good call now and then. this is one of them.
never heard of them? again, by design. dell, asus and those guys are rumored to have them, in order to truly design motherboards.
you and I could not design a motherboard that actually WORKS using only public info from intel or amd. you NEED that yellow book. the one that no one has any photos of or can even prove exist.
yeah, we are fucked down to the logic gate level. no way out, either.
class action? you sure you aren't prohibited and must, instead, use ARBITRATION ??
the corps have us. they created new laws to insulate themselves from the fallout and they have started to declare unofficial war on us, slowly, like cooking a frog..
it really is hard, being a geek and watching the normies continue to flock to apple, google et al, and yet they never learn their lessons. they get screwed time and time again and yet they have been programmed by the media to keeep thinking that next time will be different!
fwiw, my 'verizon' branded phone works just fine with tmobile.
phone is vzn version of lg g2, which is the better phone since it has Qi charging built in (love it) and the other non-vzn lg g2's do not have that.
simply rooted this gsm phone and that was that. my $30/mo prepaid does not give me much voice time, but its unlimited inet (throttled but not capped at the higher limits) and its not a bad phone, even though its a bit old by today's standards.
unbelievable! this is not what jerry would have wanted. whoever gave this idiot access to jerry's vault tapes should be punished for doing such a horrible thing. wow;(
vpn use is big with corp travellers. lots of people know about them.
true, lots don't but I do expect people to hear more about this as time goes on, and if the media ever grows a pair of stugots, maybe they can start INFORMING people how to defend themselves against all the spying going on.
if this is true, this is 100% against all that jerry stood for. he allowed (along with his band) FREE taping and FREE exchange of their music and you could even buy taper (area) tickets to stay in the mics+recorders section, where it was fully above-board (but not FOB, lol).

what were we arguing about, again? oh right. political incorrectness.
I don't support chick-fil-a and their hate-group funding, but that does not mean I demand all restaurants be closed.
you put the filter on the receiving end, not the sending end. some of us still understand what america and freedom USED TO BE about.
'passed' and 'enforced' are not the same thing.
cant be enforced. just cant be done. how could you detect it or stop it?
(in fact this post means something entirely different, lol)
what fun this could be.

like the right to bear arms
which means, you have the right to encrypt using as many bits as you can write on your bare arm ;)
so we can't even talk about anything further.
who is going to tell us the honest truth? all we get is the dishonest truth from every 'official' that speaks up about this.
disinformation and even more disinformation. you'd be nuts to take anything on face value, given what's at stake.
you are thinking we are making progress?
how can you know?
seriously. you have words from talking bobbing heads. some on 'our' side, some on theirs.
have you seen source code? chip x-rays? design docs? audited the whole system, have you?
very possible (likely, even) that this is false flag info intended to let people think that encryption, as it is today, is 'unbreakable'.

actually, they used a dot matrix printer - but it was so old, some of the pins were stuck.
"hey, look at this! maybe we can salvage this into our new logo!"

lots of words you typed.
but....
we all know. its about hate. its the deep south. and they have a religious war to fight.
all your words that you try to impress us with; take that bullshit elsewhere.
magnussen/moss act says you are wrong.
intel yellow books on their processors.
never heard of them? again, by design. dell, asus and those guys are rumored to have them, in order to truly design motherboards.
you and I could not design a motherboard that actually WORKS using only public info from intel or amd. you NEED that yellow book. the one that no one has any photos of or can even prove exist.
yeah, we are fucked down to the logic gate level. no way out, either.
you can vote for all you want; the lawmakers stopped caring about little people about 20 or so years ago.
consumer protection in the US is running on fumes and even the fumes are running out.

yet another good reason to root your phone.
the car automatically orders new tires every 6mos whether you need them or not.
and every other order, they don't fit.
damn, you seem to be right:

if they hijack dns, you use someone else's dns (hopefully they don't block dns queries over your wan).
if they insert data in your stream, you run a secure link or even a vpn.
if they block vpn use, THEN its time to find another isp. (good luck; most people have just 1 local choice.)
