  • The only issue is your phone collecting location data and then relaying it to somewhere in the internet.

    The privacy risk is when things have location access AND internet access.

    I’m fairly certain my phone is not accessing my location unless I ask it to (I have GrapheneOS). But it’s absolutely pinging my location when I open a map or upload a photo to the internet. I do those things sparingly.









  • I’m in Australia and it still shits me to tears that I can’t mathematically communicate with Americans. We just changed one day and it was done.

    That said, the Australian mainland is running 5 different timezones right now. Some zones are only 30 minutes apart. We also have a little island just off the coast of Sydney where the DST shift is 30 minutes. The entire planet does an hour. We’ve introduced this edge case for the sake of 400 people and some stick insects.




  • I appreciate the honesty when they say it’s an AI response and not genuine knowledge.

    When I tell someone “an LLM told me that…” It’s usually followed by “Let’s see if there’s any truth to it.” An AI response should always be treated as a suggestion, not an answer.

    Hell, Google’s AI still doesn’t know which day the F1 GP is on this week. It was wrong by a whole week a while back. Now it’s only off by a day.


  • The problem is this also blocks SMS from those outside your contacts. It will be an issue with 2FA.

    I created a “Do not disturb” profile that only blocks voice calls for non-contacts. SMS still comes through. My ringtone is a silent file, but that’s just my preference.

    In the DND profile, I only allowed messaging apps to show notifications. I don’t care about the rest.
