Cell Phone Enemy

[HitmanParticipant]

got the latest cell phone….?

or does it have YOU…?
facial recognition is here.
normalizing it with a very expensive device.
10 min vid i happened upon.
this phone is not your friend…
it may act like it.
it may seem like it.

the latest I phones are your ENEMY.
big brother is laughing..
thoughts..?

Uhhh, nope.
I still use a flip phone. Though it is mil-spec. I have used it to clean ice off my windshield 😛

These damn smartphones…The name of these is hypocrisy personified. They have caused at least one city to install airbags on lamp posts due to people running into them with their heads down FFS! Let alone the idiots that walk off piers into oceans…

Edited to add: Yes hitman, BigBrother is watching. He’s probably stroking it at our asininity.

I cleaned the dust off mine but it got dusty again, it was a gift.

I will never own a smart phone and the phones in my house have analog/digital switches, they’re from the 80s’ used on ebay, I wanted older but circle dial doesn’t work anymore, has to have buttons, so I got the oldest ones I could find that will work with the modem.

Anyone want a stupid smart phone?

And just when big brother thinks there all over you .

Ummmm lets play .

Let alone there is probably built in facial recognition software installed in these damned things.
One just as well take the NSA on all public outings, work, dinner, and to bed with them at night.

Cell phone facial recognition is a joke. Your phone is much more secure turning that s~~~ off.

With all due respect, I am not buying that. Note, I said probably ^. The feed is sent elsewhere more than likely where said recognition software is up and running.

As far as turning it off…no thanks. I’ll pull the battery then put it under a Faraday cage for the record.

Nope. Your phone has more than enough processing power to handle the s~~~ty facial recognition they’re running.

That doesn’t mean the camera isn’t sending images to Big Brother. It just isn’t doing so for the purpose of recognizing your face to unlock your phone. And if you don’t use the camera to unlock your phone (which is a s~~~ty security method anyways and you shouldn’t use it), you can easily block Big Brother’s use of it with a small piece of tape.

This is the kinda crap that freaks me out. But with what people put on Facebook, the government just needs to sign in on FB. The general public pretty much does their job for them.

Like a bird on the wire, like a drunk midnight choir, I have tried in my way to be free.

@sidecar I can agree with that Brother. Fortunately, my camera is broken 😛 Win Win

The microphone is harder to deal with. They can access that too.

Which is why I recommend alternative open operating systems. They’re more secure and run faster without all the snoopware cruft.

There are two sides to that. Yes Big Brother’s job has become much easier thanks to foolish people irresponsibly using technology, but that has also made Big Brother lazy while flooding him with far more data (noise) than he can ever hope to process. So it’s actually easier than ever to ghost merely by exercising a little privacy discipline.

tl;dr: stay the f~~~ off facebook etc.

@sidecar I call them Assbook & T~~~ter 🙂 You are correct Sir.

I’m still using an old flip phone, I still don’t feel comfortable with the idea of carrying a device that is supposed to be a phone but in fact is practically anything / everything but that! and they keep getting more and more complex, more powerful every couple months! I’m just watching where this will lead humanity!

You must own a better Crystal ball than I

I wish I still were able to use my old analog bag phone. I could ping the tower nearest I live 3 hours away like I was talking on a landline.

Now….I freaking roam all the damn time, yet, there are towers all over the place! TF?

What a cell phone?

Never had one.

I ordered me a Nokia dumbphone from Ebay.

Now granted (as a millennial) first few times taking that bad boy out made me feel like my fly was open.

But the freedom is real. I look around and people watch, notice the smells and sounds, and am generally much more in the present when not using the so-called smart phones.

They be smart because they make their users dumb.

Have anyone noticed the trend to have unremovable or integral batteries in these latest models of smartphone?
Interesting…

Being a man is incredible good luck. Do not waste it on the unlucky.
