No, it does not have any more access than any other app, as it work on unrooted devices too. That said, it has to be compiled for older Android SDK level because newer levels prevent apps to run executables they downloaded on their own and

I could talk about things better in Linux whole day. But besides popularity (so being preinstalled, proprietary software availability, being presented from childhood) is there a single reason to use Windows? Backwards compatibility, accessi

Example of evil maid attack. On laptops prevented automatically by secure boot or manually by encryption and checking fingerprints, not by bricking whole device.

If this would be the reason, downgrading would wipe the device not brick it permanently.

Would switch to PostmarketOS tomorrow if there was any fully supported hardware (camera, 4G calling, etc.). All programs/apps I use are FOSS and standardized anyway.

Libre software should be used regardless. And the switching cost with it is still not low but drastically lower.

Carriers dropping legacy IP network and providing only direct connection to few popular CDNs would be natural next step for this security strategy.

Also with IPv6 with NAT you definitely have this security, but with IPv4 without NAT you MIGHT have that security... Disabling security features makes them disabled. Also security of NAT is a side effect because of that the devices behind i

ISP hosting a virtual machine you remote desktop into from internal network as the only way to access the external internet can also work as a "de facto firewall". But the best de facto firewall is a proper firewall.

Disabled protection does not protect. This is UI/UX thing, not something in Internet-scale protocols. I can "curl https://somethingshady | bash -" but won't blame RFC1738.

Discussions about NAT very often forget that it works by messing up with the transport layer. The fuzz is about hiding IP address and exposing services, but the worst thing about NAT is that technically it should not count as a connection t

What's up with those comments? Am I still on HackerNews or did I visit Reddit with some HackerNews theme applied? Internet engineers pre-2000 had some idealistic, heavly mathematically proven ideas that still seem revolutionary today.

> For those unfamiliar, a NAT Gateway acts as a one way door to your private subnet to access the internet without allowing traffic in Repeat after me: NAT is not a firewall. And we need to stop pretending it is.
