Posted: 28 Jul 2020 06:18 AM PDT Sometimes gimmicks are there the marketing people to sell their devices. But as a enthousiast sometimes these gimmicks can make a phone feel very different. For me it was the capacitive home button on my note 9. Its just love and always use It. It's just fun to feel the feedback of a button on my locked screen and see the phone light up. Such a fun gimmick that we will probably never see in a phone again. [link] [comments] | ||

How safe are apps from Android device spying at hardware/OS level? [Advanced] Posted: 28 Jul 2020 05:25 PM PDT The android device is OEM/unbranded, sourced from china factory. Assuming it has spyware built into the OS or even at hardware level. How safe is it to use the usual Apps like Facebook, instagram, reddit, etc? My assumptions and the things I'm wondering about:
Eg. Can a really reasonably good spyware get in between Step 1 and 2 and make a copy of that plain text data?
I know in the hacking world there is almost a way for pretty much anything, but what i'm asking here are for reasonable risks specially for an average users (and not specifically targeted) Backstory if interested to hear about it: We've ran sniff tests on a roughly 20 android phones and tablets from china (samples) where all data is passing through our gateway with wireshark and definitely lots of these devices are phoning home, even right out of the box and during any user activity. Some devices fire packets at intervals every 12mn lol. Most of these packets we've detected are encrypted, but we're not sure if it's encryption done by the Apps (aka reddit) or if they are the spyware's own encryption used for its own purpose (hiding its intentions and tracks) At the end of the day, were trying to create guidelines and recommendations for how to use these questionable devices for users who doesn't have a choice otherwise. We've pretty much concluded thru our tests that FILES stored on the device (even in microSD cards) are very vulnerable and difficult to protect since it lies on the Android OS file system and any spyware can pretty much do as it pleases w/ that. So our recommendation states to not keep sensitive files on these devices (aka nudes lol). So we're at a point where we are trying to figure out "WHAT USERS CAN REASONABLY-SAFELY USE THESE DEVICES FOR" and so far, perhaps we are leaning towards the idea that as long as they're using a solid apps (chrome browser, reddit, facebook, insta, the usual) with encryption it should be fine - or so we hope.

Let’s talk about burner phones and our phone culture Posted: 28 Jul 2020 11:56 AM PDT Ok so I watched a report awhile back on how teens are using burner phones to circumvent their parents punishments when they take their phones away. This brought several topics I thought would be interesting to discuss. So I was in my local dollar general awhile back and looked at the phone section and saw a legit smartphone for $30. The lg rebel 4 or something. I thought it was pretty incredible how we are able to produce these things so cheaply to get people smartphones in the 21st century. As a computer engineer I'm very passionate about moving us forward with technology. But this article brought to my attention how easy it would be for a kid to get access to the internet despite being grounded. It's not hard to imagine a teenager scraping together $30-$60 and walking down to the dollar general or family dollar and getting a phone. Or maybe an old phone you have just thrown in a drawer somewhere. Then just connect it to Starbucks WiFi or your buddies hot spot and boom you're online. It's absolutely fascinating especially considering where we were with smartphones just a decade ago. In addition to how easy it is, think about what this says about our culture now. If a kid feels so compelled to sneak out to get a burner phone, what does that say about their need to interact with their friends. It's like we feel compelled to be online and on social media because we feel like we miss out if we aren't always connected. Just thought i would share this as I think it's important to talk about not only how incredible it is that sophisticated technology is more obtainable, but also the ramifications of it.

Posted: 28 Jul 2020 03:49 AM PDT Essentially, perhaps my phone turns off more often that others, but I frequently find myself wishing to see the notifications that I missed before my phone turned off (overnight for example). For notifications that reappear when the phone is turned back on (e.g. Gmail or WhatsApp), it's ok. However, some apps just don't display their notifications again (e.g. Snapchat or Twitter) and you'd never know if you missed an important notification until you actually manually open the app. So why not do something about this and create an optional restore button? Is this a feature that we should be petitioning for? I'm sure I'm not alone in wishing something like this existed! Cheers [link] [comments] |
