👁Notas DesCat Phantom Secure era una empresa canadiense fundada por el CEO Vincent Ramos en 2008, dedicada a vender teléfonos seguros. Debido a que en ese tiempo los dispositivos podían ser vulnerados fácilmente con solo tener la suficiente determinación, los teléfonos eran BlackBerry modificados sin cámara, micrófono, GPS, etc., e incluso cifrando las comunicaciones instalando software PGP similar al cifrado de WhatsApp. Todo esto para mejorar la seguridad de sus dispositivos. Como adquiríamos uno de estos teléfonos modificados, todo funcionaba con un sistema de recomendaciones creado por el mismo Vincent Ramos. Al inicio, solo él los vendía y algunos se los regalaba como forma de marketing. Con el tiempo se fueron haciendo más conocidos hasta llegar al FBI, donde aseguraban que los teléfonos eran hechos para grupos criminales. Luego de que no pudieron romper su cifrado, esto sirvió como marketing a la compañía, que pasó un extenso tiempo manteniendo el estatus. Hasta que un día al CEO Vincent Ramos se le ocurrió hacer reales las teorías. Tras hacer tratos en Las Vegas con agentes del FBI encubiertos que se hacían pasar por criminales, confesándoles que los teléfonos estaban hechos para usarse en el crimen organizado, entrando más y más en la industria criminal. Hasta que un día le escribió en 2018 a un agente encubierto confesando que la empresa logró aliarse con el Cártel de Sinaloa. Esto le dio marcha al FBI para poder arrestarlo. Pasando una serie de acontecimientos e interrogatorios, por fin fue arrestado en el restaurante Over Easy ubicado en Bellingham, Washington, terminando así con una empresa que inició para proteger la seguridad de los usuarios y terminó trabajando con el crimen organizado, dejando a la deriva alrededor de 20.000 teléfonos BlackBerry modificados. #software #hardware #Cifrado #phone #seguridad #telefonos

Just tried to reboot my Pixel 6 into #Android 16, and…the #phone is stone-cold dead. Black screen, no response to buttons, power+volume doesn't work. This is not acceptable! When a PC operating system gets bricked, you can still boot into BIOS, enable booting from USB, and use a rescue/installer USB stick to repair or reinstall the OS. Can we please have #phones that are similarly fail-safe? Not this unreliable nonsense? Thanks. 😡

…Federal prosecutors in Atlanta are bringing an #obstruction charge against a #US citizen who gave customs officers what is known as a #duress passcode, which activated software that erased the contents of his #phone. The authorities stopped Samuel Tunick, an Atlanta resident, for interrogation at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Int’l Airport as he returned to the US Jan 24 last year, acc/to a Nov grand jury indictment. The authorities seized his phone before allowing him to enter the country. #law

Oh wow, I've always wondered what that feeling was and here is Professor Hannah Fry explaining it all. https://blog.mikeriversdale.co.nz/2026/07/why-devices-sometimes-feel-buzzy.html #phone @laptop #science

RE: https://social.growyourown.services/@FediFollows/116970521760021938 The level of pedantry in the replies is unreal. I know the Linux/FOSS crowd can be pedantic, but come on. The Linux phone category is about phones running standard Linux systems, not Android/AOSP derivatives. What makes a Linux phone: Package managers (apt, pacman, apk)Standard GNU/Linux tooling without Android wrappersFOSS interfaces like Phosh or Plasma MobileNo Google/Apple app ecosystem dependency Actual options: @pine64 (PinePhone) - hardware made for Linux@volla - ships with Ubuntu Touch optionUsed Android phones repurposed with @postmarketOS or @mobian The honest tradeoff: These won't match Android/iOS for battery, call reliability, or app availability. The modem is still proprietary blob territory regardless. But the category matters because it is about what you can run and who controls it, not kernel semantics. If someone needs a daily driver and doesn't trust Google/Apple: repurposed Pixel with postmarketOS, or accept Android with hardened privacy settings. If they want to tinker/support the ecosystem: PinePhone. Both are valid depending on whether you need a phone that works or a phone you own. #Linux #Phone #FOSS

The #FourthCircuit Says #Border Agents Can #Search Your #Phone By Hand, No Suspicion Required The Fourth Circuit issued a disappointing opinion in U.S. v. Belmonte Cardozo, a case in which @eff@mastodon.social filed an amicus brief, alongside the national #ACLU, its #Maryland , #NorthCarolina , #SouthCarolina , and #Virginia affiliates, and the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (#NACDL ). We argued that electronic device searches at the border should require a #warrant based on probable cause, but at minimum, regardless of whether an officer searches by hand or with #forensic software that plugs into a device and downloads its entire contents for search, the same #FourthAmendment standard should apply to all device searches at the border. #privacy

Just because I had the occasion to use one - here is the list of Australian phone numbers that you can use in documentation that are reserved and won't go anywhere. (like the USian 555 numbers) https://se.au/notes/fake-phone-numbers-in-australia/ #phone

This week, I gave a presentation to a board that mandates that all phones stay outside the room. Apparently, two meetings ago someone butt dialed Gemini which then tried to answer a rhetorical question with some AI nonsense. At least I now understand why highschools do the same. #AI #phone #board

Apple: you should update your phone for security reasons! It's important! Also Apple: "More Storage Required - This update cannot be installed because it requires at least 23,96 GB of available storage during installation." My phone only has 64 GB. 26 GB of that is currently used for the OS and whatever system data is. So that leaves 14 GB for everything else.. 💩 #phone #apple
