No. You give it to an accomplice who continues using it consistent with your typical usage patterns. That way you not only avoid a digital trail, you generate a digital alibi.
I suspect in 20 years, walking down the street without a digital radio in your pocket will arouse suspicion though.
- devoutsalsa 5y agoAt some point they’d probably figure out how to use the accelerometer to fingerprint your movements. Your accomplice will almost certainly have a different profile for how the phone moves when walking. I guess you could limit accomplice activities to things like driving around.
- titzer 5y agoThe resolution is probably already there now. AI can do gait recognition based on video, and sensor traces from accelerometers are accurate enough to detect individual footsteps. Are they precise enough to recognize gait? I don't know. But they can easily distinguish between walking, jogging, running, and riding a bike.
- laurent92 5y agoiPhone is already precise enough to tell how much time you spend on the left leg, right leg and both legs down. Sure they have a walking profile.

- samstave 5y agoAn EMP in a backpack. How powerful could one make a portable EMP?
- lostlogin 5y agoA faraday cage would probably be better.
- hellbannedguy 5y agoI was just thinking about a fanny pack with faraday shielding sewn into the fabric. Kinda like PacSafe products.
- samstave 5y agoThe amp is for taking out cameras :)
- dredmorbius 5y agoEMP would destroy the surveillance infrastructure. Faraday cage only shields your own electronics. There are RF-shielded bags, wallets, and purses. https://privacypros.io/faraday-bags/ https://privacypros.io/faraday-bags/
- nyolfen 5y agothere is no way to make an EMP of useful effect without high explosives
- rdiddly 5y agoAn accomplice is a liability though. Also it's harder to make it rhyme. "If you're doing a felony, give your phone to Melanie."
- hellbannedguy 5y agoYea, that whole, "How do you keep a secret between three people?". Kill the other two.
- rdiddly 5y agoYup they could turn state's witness or blackmail you. Plus they'll want a cut of the spoils if there are any. Better to establish a pattern of leaving your phone untouched at home. Assuming you're planning it ahead of time that is.
- fedreserved 5y agoOr do the deed in those convenient 5-8 hour blocks of sleep where you don't use your phone
- mrlonglong 5y agoMelonie rhymes better !
- MathMonkeyMan 5y agoThis is well into "tin foil hat" territory for me personally, but I've stopped automatically putting my phone in my pocket when I go out for an errand. I lived the first fifteen years of my life without a "phone" on me at all times, and I don't see why I need one now.
- sneak 5y agoI frequently carry a dumbphone, powered off, charged, with no sim card. This allows it to be powered on and emergency services called if necessary. (911/112 works fine without a SIM.)
- vgeek 5y agoI've debated getting a cheap/tiny phone like a Unihertz Jelly Pro with a Redpocket sim card to just keep in the car for emergencies. So far I just leave my phone at home unless I'm going on a longer trip.
- sneak 5y agoFor true life safety emergencies you don't even need the SIM/subscription as 911 will still work. For sub-life safety personal emergencies, I can usually just wait until wi-fi.
- Dylan16807 5y agoWell if your car breaks there's not going to be any wi-fi coming along.
- fencepost 5y agoNo, you play a game that incentivizes walking and get a little rocker cradle thing that makes it appear to the game like you're walking many hours a day, then drop your phone into that before leaving. "We're sure he did it, he hatched 12k eggs at the same time!"
- no_time 5y ago>I suspect in 20 years, walking down the street without a digital radio in your pocket will arouse suspicion though. Reading things like this makes me think of climate change messing up infrastructure and space junk making it impossible to operate satellites is maybe for the better. Laws have obviously failed in keeping technology at bay from concentrating power in the hands of a few. Maybe nature can help reverse this.
