  • A cellular signal isn’t one single thing. A GSM booster will improve the availability of a GSM signal, but that’s calls and SMS but isn’t going to do a lot to provide mobile data given that 3G coverage is basically dead and 4/5G data doesn’t operate on a frequency that the GSM booster will be doing anything for. You can get cellular WiFi hotspots that you put a SIM in and they basically become your WiFi router or just use a cellphone that has hotspot functionality










  • Actually being directly in a position to see how seriously this is taken by the banks, mobilizing to address the problem of staff using non approved and recorded communications is massive and doing exactly what the fine is supposed to do - motivating the companies involved to get off their arses and fix the gaping holes that allow this to happen.

    So much Threads panic, yet we’re apparently willing to just believe whatever DuckDuckGo says, even though the company has a pretty terrible track record.

    Go look at the permissions Threads is granted. Mine has Notifications and nothing else. Android won’t let it have access to most of the information in that list.

    “Known to collect” - this app is sending data back to Facebook and we’ve made some wild ass assumptions about what that data might be in order to scare you into getting all your friends to download our browser. Worked pretty well, huh.
