I get like 3-5 robocalled scam calls a day easy and while my phone does say "Scam Likely" now which is cool it still basically means I never answer my phone ever. Nor do I check voicemails. Also now I get text spams too which is p cool.

If y'all have AT&T get AT&T Call Protect, it will outright block a bunch of known telemarketer numbers and flag a bunch of other ones. Doesn't get all of them, but it does let you maintain a custom block list of ones that get through (since in my experience they retry with the same caller ID number multiple times). It's also interesting for keeping a log of the telemarketing calls, I've noticed they seem to have a pattern of calling 2 to 8 times in rapid succession (like, milliseconds apart) if they hit the blocklist, I wonder why that is... I think other providers have similar apps / blocking services too so do a lil' research. It hasn't gotten rid of spam calls (the ones from random numbers with the same area code and first three digits still get through since those are randomized caller ID's) but it cut out quite a few.

or just root your phone so you can do that without paying for the privilege capitalism.txt: legislative protection falling apart? luckily, there is a service for a low low monthly fee that'll work until we need you to upgrade to the Silver Protection Plan

Shame Boy posted:It's free and doesn't require you to trust totally legit and definitely honest random xda-forums dot com posters and fundamentally compromise and permanently cripple your phone's core security features. uh a thing came out some time ago where electronics that were manufactured in china (90%) often have a small extra chip installed next to the CPU that is not part of the specifications. This chip looks like a regular surface mount resistor or coupler but is actually a full blown chip with its own code and all that, it's no basic electrical component. Some versions are embedded between the layers of the circuit board and can only be detected with specialized equipment. Amazon, Apple, and like 30 other US companies ended up with this chip unknowingly installed in the servers that run Alexa and Siri and a bunch of other stuff. It's not fully known the extent. This allows China's military access to all devices with the chip, because the chip is essentially a gatekeeper at the extreme lowest level and has control over what CPU instructions are run and how. This allows operating system and firmware control so that actual sophisticated instructions can be deployed to the target hardware. basically if you give a poo poo about security you might as well just go Kaczynski and say gently caress it to society. The capitalist octopus with tentacles over the earth is wrong, it's a constant turbofuck from all directions and nobody knows nothin no more

Eh, that story is most likely pure propaganda. Their description of the chip and how it works seems pretty unlikely (or the journalist simply didn't understand things) and there's no evidence to back the story up. In addition, Apple and Amazon have explicitly denied the report. And on Friday, the DoD released a new report about how chip manufacturing in the US is in danger of going extinct, lol Lambert has issued a correction as of 08:25 on Oct 9, 2018 |

fake edit: I had a post lined up but it's dumb now that i looked at the preview. I feel like it may actually be possible to create a component that does some of that stuff, if you have extreme mastery of electrical engineering, or at least a very comprehensive idea of the final product and a clear understanding of what you can get away with. I'll admit I glossed over what exactly it's supposed to be attached to and all that poo poo, and actually that info was prob not in the article -- I was like "what the gently caress" and then became increasingly credulous as I read. I mean it seems kind of plausible that if you have a chip and a CPU or whatever, and you have firmware control, you can make interruptions and have it do what you want, but it IS kind of a circular logic at play here. I don't know enough to say either way and if I did I'd be in some upper echelon poo poo. I was also gonna put in a dumb joke about US chips and poo poo, but that's one of the things like medicine where each country really needs to be able to have at least a basic level of ability in production, or else will get doomed if the floor falls out from the agreement that gets you that stuff. Like ok I made a fuckin CPU out of wire wrap and some transistors, welcome to 50 years ago. I still don't understand what the gently caress kind of propaganda purpose that's supposed to achieve, if none of that happened and its a lie. Like "whoa don't trust the spooky Chinese electrons" or what? Or are the few remaining US manufacturers trying to hijack the market with this? Seriously if you can't expect anything to be an actual truthful report then all media has to be treated as potential lies, and there's no more solid ground to build a foundation that can support a sane policy, and civil life has eroded out to dust.

Trump passed Executive Order 13806, which is pretty much that - don't trust the spooky Chinese electrons. The DoD report on that came out on Friday, and this article a bit before that. Really not hard to see this as an organized campaign.

You can't trust the media to actually report truthfully. That's why all these "real news" sites and YT channels with even more shoddy reporting are so popular. And the media simply repeating what some Pentagon guy told them is nothing new either. Lambert has issued a correction as of 08:34 on Oct 9, 2018 |

I should add, I don't think attempts at doing this kind of thing are unthinkable or even uncommon (just think of the program where the government was intercepting networking gear shipments to reflash the firmware). Just that I think that specific Bloomberg article is mostly bullshit.

e: irt "real news" is that not an insanely hosed up idea that means democracy fundamentally cannot work? If a citizen can't get truthful information then how can they vote? Although I feel like this is not strictly capitalist in nature and is just fascist so maybe the corporate plot kicked in a little late cause they waited for guys like butler to be thoroughly dead. e2: man if we need people like that to form some eternal vanguard of democracy maybe the whole thing really is just hosed

Intel CPUs, of course, have a barely-documented control mode that lives as a separate system within the CPU, can access absolutely everything read-write, and which they will only disable for US government customers. It's just a garden-variety "accuse everyone else of doing what you're doing".

Adding a few pictures and pot plants and things really completes a room and helps with the crushing misery of living in a single plain white-walled room. The key though is making it looked lived in and homely, rather than a cluttered monument to plastic dogshit.
