Advanced Plus Security TuxTalk - iPhone 16

[TuxTalk]

Changed my Pixel 8A to a iPhone 16.

I choose the 16 over the 16 pro because its a bit smaller and with the camera for me no difference since my colleque has the 16 pro.
And 250 euro cheaper.

I think you made a very informed, value-smart choice. The device should serve you very well for years. Good for you!

I prefer Chinese insecure phones since they are cheap ( insecure because how the Chinese add attack surface to everything in their rom XD)


But for those looking for a secure device it's either iphone or graphene os (pixel ) and between those an iphone is superior in my opinion

Btw Chinese phones aren't reliable the software already caused issues during work time XD
Btw between Chinese brands those under BBK make the more stable software and they sometimes have better value then Xiaomi too in terms of hardware



Anyway I think iphone is the perfect phone for most users it's reliable secure and it's main con is the cost but even then it lasts years so shouldn't be an issue and sometimes cheaper then getting a new Chinese phone each time once it doesn't get android security updates

What happened to your Pixel love? Your relationship barely lasted a year, and you left her for another.

Yeah Motorola's are fine, OnePlus are good, maybe the POCO is OK but the rest

Poco is Xiaomi so I will add that to the avoid list due to unreliable software

For Chinese phones everyone should use Android Debug Bridge (Adb) command-line tool after after first boot to device.

then bye bye Windows !

While iphone has architectural security design advantages, Macs are no longer as secure as they were in the past. Read these and re-evaluate:

22 New Mac Malware Families Seen in 2024

Nearly two dozen new macOS malware families were observed in 2024, including stealers, backdoors, downloaders and ransomware.

Infostealers targeting macOS jumped by 101% in second half of 2024

While infostealers are often seen as less dangerous compared with trojans, they can exfiltrate sensitive data, leading to data breaches.

Main reason is , bored with Windows and all its bugs. I love Linux and MacOS, so why not completely switch.
Gonna install Trend Micro on the Mac as soon as it arrives, its in my subscription.
