The sheer volume of communication data is far too large to monitor everything.
By people, sure. Run it through a magical analytical algorithm that flags stuff for people to look? Or if that's still too much everywhere, they could focus it on a certain area's towers and process that data. Will it catch everything or not generate false positives? No, it's not perfect, but I could see it helping them and being done.
I doubt an agency like this would just hoard the info and not proactively use.
SMS is mostly used for 2-factor authentication, transaction status.
Which they really shouldn't as it's still in the clear. But banks are slow to change, especially if it costs them money. As for mostly, I think it depends on the region. I think I've read that the US, Canada, and a few (not all) European countries still use SMS.
I use Signal, which is widely considered the gold standard for E2EE apps, with the client app of Molly specifically (a hardened version of Signal).
either way a military tank is better than a civilian grade sedan.
Because they're two different vehicles, not two different classes of product. If you compare military grade phones to civilian phones, the civilian would be better, and probably cheaper due to not having the buzzwords attached. And I bet a tank made by a private firm for non-government entities would in fact be better and cheaper than a military tank.
I'm not downplaying it or saying it shouldn't be fixed, but...
Effectively, due to modifications made to the standard Telephony package left the app open to abuse, allowing any installed application on an affected OnePlus device to access SMS and MMS data, along with metadata, “without permission, user interaction, or consent.”
Just another vector. SMS is already plaintext/unencrypted, so shouldn't be used unless you're saying something you're comfortable with the world knowing. Switch to E2EE apps
I would like something in between...BTW I'm installing Bazzyte on another PC.
If you're somewhat familiar with uBlue, Bazzite, and immutables, I'd go with Bluefin (Gnome) or Aurora (KDE). All three are uBlue / based off Fedora, so you don't have to learn a 2nd OS while working on your current OS (Bazzite).
But when did you set Authy up? I don't recall when Authy made the change, but it wouldn't kick you out. It would, however, prevent you from signing in a new device. So if you lose your phone, you might lose access to those tokens...
throw away their votes on a 3rd party...That’s how Trump got elected a 2nd term
While that didn't help, I don't think it was the cause. Last I checked, if you gave Harris the 3rd party votes, Trump would still win. Republicans had increased voter turnout, while Democrats decreased...and overall turnout decreased. So it was apathy and lack of votes that won.
But I'm busy, going off memory, and didn't check latest stats. So please, feel free to correct me.
Using one only because it's super well known? Sure. It can be well known and scummy. But it can also be well known, trusted, vetted, etc.
And you also probably don't want to use one that is barely known as there's the lack of trust, getting, who runs it's, etc.
Most people haven't, till they have.
For security, Vanadium (only available on GrapheneOS. For privacy, Tor. Most everything else falls between on the scale.
A quick search says November 2019.
Torrentio has started blocking VPNs.

Even a lot of offices have moved to VoIP.
Depending on where you go to school, 70% is passing while 50% is not. While "not far off," one is a C, the other a F.

It's the whole "if a fine is less than the profit, the fine is just considered a cost of business."
It's Source Available, not Open Source.

Depends on your bank. Most work on alternate OS (like GrapheneOS), and of course some don't. https://privsec.dev/posts/android/banking-applications-compatibility-with-grapheneos/
If an app (especially bank) doesn't work, I forward them this and try to ELI5 that their current method is flawed and less secure: https://grapheneos.org/articles/attestation-compatibility-guide
How about the ~100 Grammer? Or even just "100 G" if you're trying to be "hip."

Bernie is working with the Democrats. The Democrats are not working with Bernie. Bernie is picking the lesser of the two evils, as he sees it.
The criticism is not that Bernie doesn't work with them, but rather they are not working with him. There is a difference between those two.
