But, but, but... it will be more secure! Also think about the children!

Use pinephone ;-) It has hardware switches and runs linux :-p

[–] jedrax@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

It also misses calls and texts ":-p". People predominately want reliability from their phone os...

If we had phones with trustworthy software on them, then this would be a nice hardware feature instead of a scary problem...

[–] sexy_peach@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

let's hope that proper free software will win over tech monopolies in the future. Then I can finally sleep well while owning a smartphone that has all kind of "magic" features

Wait until companies start to have this on the phones and laptops they issue

This sucks.

Already microphones that always listen. This was the next "logical" leap for this dark path.

At least cameras you can easily cover

Even worse, it probably eats up a significant amount of battery

[–] SrEstegosaurio@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

I don't want to think about it... And now that all phones have ultra rapid charge I can see batterys just dying as if were iPhones.
