@alcinnz Reminds me of a post about invention of the printing press. There is a pattern here, we should be smarter by now...

5. We demand complete control over the users.

@th heh locking the door and putting the key under the door mat... also bitlocker with TPM actively prevents you from restoring your files when your mobo breaks.

@emacsen Oh and requires no client side storage per "password"... but requires server side support.

@emacsen https://www.grc.com/sqrl/sqrl.htm Uses asymetric crypto, nothing to leak, protected with password (something you know), can be backed up, provides "password reset" flow and requires no special device to work.

I keep a phone like 3 years out of support, full of preinstalled spyware to use my banking app as it will refuse to run on my clean up-to-date rooted phone... yeah, makes sense.

@liaizon Yes; Most phones share RAM access with the GSM modem CPU...

This month I got two new devices that lay at extreme ends of a certain spectrum:
1. Netgear switch (GS110TPv3)
2. PinePhone (1.2 beta)

The switch welcomes me with: "Skip Registration and Temporarily Access All Features" - limited to 3 times! Otherwise requires Andorid app install to register and cloud manage.

PinePhone allows me to try 17+ different distros out of the box - just flash an SD card.

I hope for OpenWrt support for the Netgear...

Someone said they use portable GSM base stations. So sounds like they use GSM modem to exploit.
