I have a super expensive secret on my phone and... I bend the knee to Google.
Def can't trust Apple, can't trust Samsung. Google has managed to be the best. (Go ahead and @ me some cases that basically never hit the wild)
- ForHackernews 3y agoI can't imagine the threat model that leads you to trust Google but not Apple, but you do you: Maybe you're a Google hardware engineer and the expensive secret is blueprints for the next generation of Google Glass.
- resource_waste 3y agoBuddy, 1000+ people got their iPhones cracked by pegasus, at least 1 person was killed and bezos had his noods leaked. Yeah google does a better job.
- ForHackernews 3y agoI'm not worried about being targeted by Pegasus, but I am worried about getting targeted for adshit by Google, or them selling all my info to databrokers, or having them disable all my accounts for arbitrary reasons. I think we have different threat models. Maybe you're special enough to be worth targeting for bespoke surveillance, I'm worried about avoiding ordinary mass-market adtech surveillance.
- resource_waste 3y agoYes, my super expensive secret is way more valuable than getting ads about my hemorrhoids.
- ForHackernews 3y agoYou know they have secure drives, right? I wouldn't carry anything I really cared about around on my phone. ... oh this is some cryptocurrency thing, isn't it?
