I feel uneasy visiting friends with Alexa and all that.
- holri 7y agoI am not doing it.
- jimmaswell 7y agoShouldn't be any more than friends who just have a smart phone.
- eeZah7Ux 7y agoNot at all. Alexa in known for uploading plenty of audio recordings. If phones were doing the same on a large scale people would notice the network traffic!
- officialjunk 7y agohow do you inspect the cellular network traffic?
- vageli 7y ago> how do you inspect the cellular network traffic? You can investigate cell traffic with an SDR.
- eeZah7Ux 7y agoVarious cheap devices catch plenty of interference from a phone in transmission. You don't have to analyze traffic to realize that phones are transmitting all the time without a good reason. Also, you can easily intercept traffic over wifi. You can even do that while switching off GSM.
- pessimizer 7y agoI used to joke about being uncomfortable with people visiting my apartment carrying smartphones, now I'm actually becoming uncomfortable with people visiting my apartment carrying smartphones. All of my technology is dumb as shit/rooted. I've physically taken the webcam out of my new laptops for years before the first power up, which is with a Debian DVD. And I honestly think that I'm taking the lazy approach because I'm not overly concerned about being targeted, just caught in dragnets. Anybody practiced and willing to put in a few hours of work could own me. I could own me, so I know it's true. People who aren't technical with software, hardware, and web architecture just have no chance.
