The baseband isn’t controlled by you and can wake up without your knowledge.
It’s less clear what is the “art of the possible” vs. practical for people who aren’t actively under surveillance.
- Alive-in-2025 9mo agook, that makes more sense. If the battery is dead then the phone can't track me (or if you had a phone with a removable battery - i have an old one I kept that is like that).
- direwolf20 9mo agoNo part of the phone is controlled by me. Can we stop getting spooked by the word "baseband" yet? It means the modem chip. The modem chip isn't controlled by me and can wake up without my knowledge. But neither is the wifi chip. Or the bluetooth chip. Or the RAM chip. Or the main CPU (application processor). Or the screen. Any one of these could hold malware.
