If you move to using an unsecured “chinaphone” as an alternative to the big three handset vendors, then it’s unlikely they are target devices for the myriad of uncertified ROM’s.

Not following your logic here… With the mainstream devices now locked, “the myriad of uncertified ROMs” will necessarily shift to the remaining unlocked phones, or die out.

I think a viable future is owning two devices, one “certified” to access your banking and work apps, and one running GrapheneOS for your private life.

I still have a few wyze cams so this was a very troubling claim, I couldn’t verify it, could you please provide some citation?

The only troubling thing I found is that the emergency response company they outsource police dispatch to (noonlight), but they claim they don’t share any videos with them and only use their dispatch API for the home security system sensors, they explicitly say:

“Videos and/or the live streams from your Security Cameras are not shared with any Wyze employees or third parties (including Noonlight and the monitoring center).”

And in the same FAQs:

“Wyze does not share monitoring data with law enforcement or any third parties.”

https://www.wyze.com/pages/hms-faq#%3A~%3Atext=Wyze+does+not+share+monitoring%2Cfrom+the+Monitoring+Events+page. So are they liars? Please share what you know!

How so? I’m not doubting, I just didn’t see any of that evidence in the article.

Okay, I’ll just install debian on my phone then, thanks for the advice.

Jesus!

1. In what way?
2. What do you suggest, live brain dude?

Yeah… And they are way more expensive than a VPN.
