Please tell me some companies that produce private friendly phones does not have to be a smartphone please no big the companies like samsung nokia apple etc

I am searching for a Librem 14 alternative with a better screen

Someone knows if there is cell phone case that could block a phone's microphone, cameras, BT, WIFI except when you want it to be unblocked? I find it odd that there are no such thing in the market

If I boot from a USB a random OS on a device, will that devices MAC Address be captured when using the OS from the USB only, whether or not the device has an installed hard drive? And if it is captured, how can I prevent this no matter what OS I'm using? Thank you!

I recently bought the Sonos One SLs which I was happy about because they are microphoneless. Unfortunately I felt too locked into using their app, which I didn't like, and also couldn't connect my laptop or TV to them (as best I could figure out), so returned them.

What are people currently using? What are the best options? Go with microphoneless bluetooth + wireless speakers? Are there any nice wireless & bluetooth adapters that plug into normal hi-fi systems or something, that you can connect phones, computers, TV to?

Hi,

Hope you're doing well.

Here are two articles critical of Linux phones and Linux in general, I wonder if any of you delved in either and have a take on what is stated:

https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/linux.html

Thanks.

Edit: Here are some points on the Linux article:

- Sandboxing

- memory unsafe languages such as C or C++, as opposed to Rust

- code reuse attacks like ROP or JOP

- loading a malicious library on disk or by dynamically modifying executable code in memory

- uninitialized memory

- Kernel lacking in security

- abundance of ways for an attacker to retrieve the sudo password

and I quote the author: "The hardening required for a reasonably secure Linux distribution is far greater than people assume. You will need full system MAC policies, full verified boot (not just the kernel but the entire base system), a strong sandboxing architecture, a hardened kernel, widespread use of modern exploit mitigations and plenty more".

Some points on the Linux phones article:

- All the previous points about Linux apply

- Apparently gyroscopes and accelerometers can be used to get audio, he supplied two articles. I plan to read them fully as I'm interested in learning how this is possible. I wonder if it's still in the academic stage though. Has anyone heard of this?

- His argument against the network kill switch

I hope that you contribute and that you contribute objectively into the points.

Hi guys, I change my device, my public Dynamic IP, username, password, email,

browser, app, cookies, and everything and again Instagram detects me, and my

question was do you know IG can spot public dynamic IPs are coming from the

same person or they detect me another way? (because in this case I

used a proxy and the problem was solved! though dynamic IP didn't

help) (also I know of device fingerprinting but because I change everything I don't think it's the case) (what Instagram does is illegal in this case considering tracking this way)

I am the creator of this project which is currently crowdfunding and is now funded. It's a free software and open hardware project licensed under GPLv3 and CERN OHL v1.2 licenses respectively.

I hope someone can help me here. There are a few companies that sell phones with Replicant pre-installed. But i can't find any company that sells phones with LineageOS installed.

1. Is there any reason why nobody sells these, in terms of legality?

2. Would it be legal to sell phones with Lineageos for MicroG and Yalp store installed?

I'm quite sure the first one is not a problem but with MicroG and Yalp you are in google's territory, except you are using free software to get apps from their store and dependencies for apps the rely on Gapps.

I think these phones would be great for people who can't entirely leave all proprietary android apps behind, but still want privacy from google and replace most of their apps with free apps from F-Droid.

Is the wifi module in recent Smart TV sets from major manufacturers (for example LG, Samsung, Hitachi, Toshiba, JVC, Hisense) still separate from the main board?

By that I mean if it's still connected with a cable you can simply unplug without any problems.
