I would always prefer an Android device with CalyxOS or GrapheneOS over an Iphone.

Of course I spot a typo only AFTER uploading...aaahhh!

[DimebagPantera]

After those adjustments using an Iphone/smartphone is still a privacy nightmare. I doubt very much that a person of interest is getting a prepared phone with just those settings. More likely they use their smartphones only for specific non-sensitive stuff and for other situations use heavily prepared custom OS phones or no phones at all.

Great start to restrict unwanted attention to life.

[DiskSystems]

This is great stuff. Will you make a general one for Android users as well?

[eyelidman]

Many thanks, Sebastian. Thorough, concise, reliable and trustworthy. 🙏👍🇬🇧🙏

Most of these devices are generally managed by central management systems so they often allow greater monitoring and control such that someone could manually review things that are higher risk but still required

Fingerprints need updating atleast annually. And covers need cleaning. My fingerprints won’t unlock my phone after a few months but I work construction lol

[andrewbrantley]

I would recommend getting rid of the same card because it’s a third-party tracking card when people get a new phone

Hey, as always 10/10 vid. Still beyond me how you're below 1 mil.
You refer to a DOD table in the very last seconds of your video - yet I don't see it linked in the description. Am I missing it?
Thank you!
