@paulbusch@mstdn.caIf you're packing for a trip to the U.S. then don't forget your toothbrush and a burner phone. A stripped down cell phone is no longer the tool of criminals and spies. Now you too can smugly hand over your phone to a customs agent and say, "Knock yourself out...". Unless you're non-white because then you are going to get disappeared anyway....

@newstik@social.heise.de#Samsung phones are such a pain.
I had a friend over and we had to put a SIM card in a Samsung phone to receive text. Turns out you can't do anything with the damn phone (except emergency calls) until you provide Wi-Fi and allow it to install all kinds of scamware on behest of the mobile network. What a waste of time and resources.

@cdarwin@c.imNetflix has removed the ability to cast shows and movies from phones to TVs,
unless subscribers are using older casting devices.
An updated help page on Netflix’s website, first reported by Android Authority, says that
the streaming service “no longer supports casting shows from a mobile device to most TVs and TV-streaming devices,”
and instead directs users to navigate Netflix using the remote that came with their TV hardware.
The change seems to have rolled ou…

@gwire@mastodon.social> So, the system has been deliberately configured to transmit the location of the nearest tube station, where access can be arranged. That’s why sometimes you might check your smartphone map, and it will display the “wrong” location, because that’s the best one for a 999 call to use.

@gwire@mastodon.socialThe problem I have with the Telegraph's "China hacked the mobile phones of senior officials in Downing Street" is that it implies that mobile phone handsets had been compromised, but only gives statements about the networks. In terms of compromise, those pose two different sets of risk.

@losttourist@social.chatty.monsterWhen I moved out of London over a decade ago, there was some move towards having wifi availability in the deep tube lines, but there were still plenty of places where smartphones became dumbphones when you were in the tunnels.
This article is a very interesting and non-technical run through of how over the last few years they finally solved the problem of putting 21st-century wifi technology into 19th-century train tunnels.
