Right. But do you realise how high they would have to be to nationalise multiple trillion dollar companies?

Lol. What a ludicrous idea.
How high do you want your taxes to be, for a start?
iVerify vice president of research Matthias Frielingsdorf points out that while Showcase represents a concerning exposure for Pixel devices, it is turned off by default. This means that an attacker would first need to turn the application on in a target’s device before being able to exploit it. The most straightforward way to do this would involve having physical access to a victim’s phone as well as their system password or another exploitable vulnerability that would allow them to make changes to settings.
Just a bit of alarmism then, with something that can be easily removed in an update.
Is he taken seriously? Most of the stuff he says is ridiculed.
If you think Apple doesn’t track you, I’ve got a bridge to sell you.
But only after you’ve provided your ID.
Many Chinese manufacturers don’t have close ties to the government
You sure about that? How do you think all these Chinese companies just magically appeared from without significant investment, most likely from the CCP?
Something that costs $3,500 and is very much a “luxury” purchase doesn’t sell loads?
I’m shocked.
Well, this blows the “if you’ve not done anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about” argument out of the water.
My Pixel 4a’s battery is on the wane, so this may be my next phone.
Probably wait for a price drop though because I’m not desperate for it at the moment.
If security is your prime concern, then I definitely wouldn’t use an “all-in-one” messenger service.
Just need passkey support on mobile and we’re all set.
(I don’t know if the article mentions that, my adblocker prevents me from reading it)
This is why I love my Pixel 4a. I think it’s like 5.8 inches and it’s just the ideal size to use comfortably and fit in my pocket.
Good luck if your phone gets stolen.
I use Bitwarden, so that will make things easy.
Thank you!
I like the idea of passkeys, but one thing that I’m still not clear on is what happens to them when I get a new phone.
It says the passkeys are stored on the device, so would I need to keep my previous phone around to be able to sign in on the new phone?
No issues here.
The one-star reviews are probably fake.
I’m not in the beta (my phone isn’t included), but I wouldn’t bother installing a beta now when the full version will likely be here in 3-4 weeks.
I’m going to show this post to anyone who asks me what Lemmy is like.
