@Peter Andrijeczko Bruh, you do realise that every smartphone has a separate processor, with no ties from your main processor that is completely close-sourced and proprietary and can't be flashed no matter how many "custom ROMs" of de-Googled Android you install, called a baseband processor? Yeah, supposedly its only function is to convert discrete signals to analog for transmission via your antenna and communication over 3G/4G/EDGE etc., but you never know what else it does. What IT clearly does is contradictory enough to your suggestion. By all means, feature phones are still much much more superior for privacy. The "standing out" argument can be used for our hardcore de-Googled users too. If done *perfectly ideally*, their phone will be just as suspicious to glow-guys as a feature phone, because to their eyes there is no more data coming than a feature phone.

@Peter Andrijeczko Look, sonny Jim, the Mental Outlaw has been talking about the fact that cell phones might be tracked if their on board batteries provide enough power and removing the regular battery might not suffice. So my point is that the only way to stop the cell phone signal would be with Faraday cage. I don't give a fuck about CCTV, I don't give a fuck about Faraday cage rendering the device useless. I just commented with the only sure solution to stop cell phone signal, regardless to how practical or useful in the long run the solution is. Go pester somebody else with your problems. Ok?

CMOS batteries aren't able to last long enough to power anything other than really the clock for a phone, unless it's rechargeable. That's why the Xbox used a capacitor that stored a couple hours worth of power, because the clock ran on a chip that would run a CMOS battery out really fast.

Hey, what a mentally good video, I like the pacing of the topics (this goes for most videos), also, this stuff seems basic but isn't really compiled in many places that go through the options. Anyway, I have a request on a topic that I haven't found on your channel: Cryptocurrency/What they bring to the table/Most used currencies/Where to get started (buying then setting up a wallet? Idk how this works)/Realistic feasibility for profit/etc.. Doesn't have to be in depth on how that all works behind the scenes unless you feel like it. Regards

A while ago I swapped my smartphone for an old Nokia 3330 before going on a summer holiday, left my internet device at the cottage where we stayed and just had a dumb phone. I won't lie, it felt pretty nice to just go about life without a constant connexion to the matrix, but it did limit my ability to do things like take pictures or look things up while out and about. Continuing the experiment, I take my smartphone with me, but keep the SIM in the dumb phone. In normal, non-vacation life, I don't really notice much difference aside from my inability to Google, and since I'm not in a place where I want to take pictures, having the two devices is more of a hindrance than its worth. All that is to say, you are right, self discipline is the best way to go for the long term, even if you do have to force yourself to go "cold turkey" for the first few months. And if you want to be tracked less, just leave your phone at home during specific critical times, maybe stick NetMeTube on your computer or phone playing away to itself so the glowies think you're just binge watching whatever normies binge watch.

Nice video. I think I’m still going to get a feature phone though. Not worried about being tracked, I’m more concerned it won’t be as addicting so I won’t be glued to it.

Some topics like hardware switch for microphone, repair-ability, Debian GNU/Linux based OS and open hardware specs are covered in Purism products like Librem-5. Cons - cost, incompatibility with Android apps (obvious, but there are some experimental features) and older internals like CPU/cam/etc.

A feature phone significantly reduces the number of people/services that can track you. Simply becuase they aren’t running Google software.

Right in KaiOs xd. Unfortunately Microsoft (who owned Nokia one decade ago), Lenovo (Motolinux dead) and Google (because is Google) killed any open source idea for feature phones, and Kaiostech despite using the sources of Firefox OS, acts like a closed community. Projects like GerdaOS are limited to certain phones like Nokia 8110, and unlocking KaiOS based devices is not always possible. This plus the price for most of them without a carrier.

completely off topic, but you made a video a while back about the security vulnerabilities with whatever it is Intel and AMD used to replace the north and south bridge, my question is do you think that once the Raspberry Pi becomes strong enough to run a few light desktop applications that it'll be secure like the System 76 laptops, or do you think the RPi team would do the same thing?

3:50 That doesn't mean anything about battery, the phone can connect to any cellular network to check time without having a sim card, it is allowed to do so to make emergency calls

There's probably a sense in which they increase privacy in that they make it a total pain to use many apps, which prevents users from oversharing their data online using them just because it's thoroughly unenjoyable to.

do you have any sources on that "secondary battery"? every phone I ever dismantled had only one, and even if there was a cmos type battery I don't think it would have enough power to keep the tracking up for more than 1 or 2 minutes

Don't worry about the cmos battery. It doesn't have anywhere near enough voltage or capacity to run the cellular radio.

Secondary battery could in theory be used to power things (4:14)??? No way, it is physically too small to support such a load (physically smaller battery - can support less peak load) + it must NOT be drained for tracking or secondary battery might not be userfull for it's primary task - supporting clock when primary battery is removed or deeply discharged. 2. Why would phone manufacturers put more expensive rechargeable secondary battery when more affordable primary one still does the job of making sure clock is running. This cuts electricall power from secondary battery for spying resons dramatically 3. Why would phone manufacturers put secondary battery at all into devices they make (like Apple)?

spot on discussion !

Not even once i've seen another battery in a phone teardown video or the ones i personally disasembled and put back together. Like, all the smartphones i have just don't keep track of time after you turn them off or remove the battery. The clock adjusts itself after they get internet signal if you have automatic date and time turned on. Also, if you don't, the cell network tower also can send the date and time if you have a SIM popped into the phone, so even if you remove the battery and turn it back on, you'd still have the accurate time the next time you see your screen. Phones do not have CMOS batteries or any other kind of "secondary battery". It would be a massive waste of space in an already small case. They just get their date and time from the nearest broadcast from a cell tower when the phone boots back up. Just tear down any phone to see for yourself, instead of this misinformation. If there is any chip you don't know what it is, search the code written on it on the internet. Also, you can very easly find the service electrical schematic online for almost any phone you want. You could also look through the open source of your phone's kernel, if you know how to read it. There are many ways to avoid spreading misinformation by just documenting yourself more about a certain subject.

That addiction gem was such a savage way of looking at it 😂

Do you have any plans to do a video on installing a degoogled rom? I've held off for a while out of fear of bricking my phone, would be great to see how you would do it

I stay at home all day so i didn't need data or anything. My LG feature phone was $40 and my plan is $10 per month. I used to pay around $100 per month for my iphone with verizon!

Something scary you guys might want to know. If you really pissed off the letter boys somehow, they can actually just point an big enough antenna to some direction, send of a very power signal, which can make your phone antenna as a rf reflector. And it can detect the reflected frequency specific to your phone and know exactly where you are. This method doesn’t require any battery or any power source. This has been covered up by letter boys for like 50 years. The Russians found one of this kind of radio reflector in one of the paintings they had in WWII, and there has never been brought up ever. Until the 2010s NSA leak went public. You guys should look this up. To defend against this attack, you should use high frequency only devices (wifi equipped laptop or computers, or bluetooth devices), since high frequency radio doesn’t travel very far due to the laws of physics. At least 2.5 ghz frequency, 5 ghz on the safer side. 1.4 ghz frequency is just too easy to be detected.

"The Thing". Passive bugs. It led directly to the invention of the rfid chip

All devices that connect to cell towers are using closed source modems. It doesn’t matter what you do to that phone it will always reconnect to the nearest tower when powered on. Nobody except these phone companies knows what’s going on inside that firmware. At the very minimum they know your location and can remotely monitor and control the device. When you buy a phone it’s either immediately linked to your identity or they can figure out who you are within a few minutes from your account logins and usage habits.

Hey Mental Outlaw, can you make a review of the Steam Client integrated web browser? I'm thinking of using it as my daily driver.

Outlaw is built like a truck, holy moly

I don't know what I expected, but this is the first video of yours I've watched where I see your face. It's not what I expected, lol. Nice beard bro.

If you have a dumb phone you're either a suspicious person or a trader. Traders have dumbphones because they hate distractions.

Gsm tracking is way more accurate, or what I have actually experienced, not only that but they save data for years, notnonly that buying a nev sim is not enough because the IMEI number thy can just track that. You'd need to buy new phone regularily and new prepaid sim card separately with cash from remote store in like discuise or something, you cant go there with car ornpublic transport, oh and you should use voice changer with different voice for different phone because people can and will track your voice as well (my voice sample has been taken) so yeha all that trouble seems quite much unless you are like pablo escobar or something like that.

Wow, I was not expecting the Mental Outlaw to look like this (but again many Linux users have a beard). I think I am going back to voiceovers, I like them more.

I don't like the nickname "dumb phones" for feature phones because by far not all of them were "dumb". Sure, there were basic monochrome Nokias and such, but then there were also mid-range and high-end Sony Ericsson phones, for example. Like SE Walkman W200 and K800. They could browse the web, install Java apps without restrictions (Nokia and Samsung phones had Java file size restrictions, for example), play plenty of games, etc. Heck, I played MMORPG games like Son of Timehonored and TibiaME on my Sony Ericsson phones. Also Java versions of Galaxy on Fire and Deep3D, which were pretty demanding and complex 3D games. Doesn't sound very "dumb phone" to me!

Very true. We even had early versions of music recognition and media stores. Some 3D games on my Sony Ericsson had almost PS1 level visuals.

@@MicroChirp For sure. Some of the Java games back then looked very impressive, like Deep 3D, Sega Rally, Galaxy On Fire to name a few. I had several different Sony Ericsson phones back then too, and they ran these games quite well.

Well most “secondary” battery would have enough juice to power the broadband chip or mic for about 0.5 seconds 😅

Another reason is that they don’t have internet, so you can’t use an open source encrypted messenger, and forced to use SMS and legacy calls, which have no privacy. They can identify you from your voice, so the calls will be enough to identify you even though it’s pseudonymous.

What do you think about satellite communication devices?

Just leave the phone at home and when you go outside they will not track you

That kinda defeats the purpose of having a mobile phone

couldn't I just de-solder the backup batter from the phone's main board?

Thank you

i only call and text, and don't want to spend more than $100 on something like that the problem is my carrier is wack and there aren't any super cheap unlocked phones

Need some advice: Has anyone heard of govt employers listening to their worker’s personal cell phones outside of work hours? How is this possible?

De-Googled Androids with almost, or entirely exclusively FOSS applications and little to no social medias is the way to do

i fully swapped to linux cuz of you i hope you are proud brother

Could you tell us more about the Lemur Pro?

At this point you're propapely more suspicious if you don't leave enough data behind

forgot the best part of a dumb phone, low maintenance/care! mine spends weeks between charges (yes, WEEKS) and you can drop it like an ugly baby and it'll be just fine. Got tired of those expensive glass slabs.

PinePhone Pro Explorer addition compile your own linux kernal/distro. You can compile your own bootloader and install it. Your can even compile and flash custom modem software for the 4G LTE modem in it. You can use this to capture all messages your sim card does. You can easily not even use 4G LTE or cellular all together and port Briar Project and use that for communication.

My old phone forgets the time even when i leave the sim card in, and i remove the battery.

Yes but with a pay as u go sim u don’t enter a name or address etc

Bruh, you do realise that every smartphone has a separate processor, with no ties from your main processor that is completely close-sourced and proprietary and can't be flashed no matter how many "custom ROMs" of de-Googled Android you install, called a baseband processor? Yeah, supposedly its only function is to convert discrete signals to analog for transmission via your antenna and communication over 3G/4G/EDGE etc., but you never know what else it does. What IT clearly does is contradictory enough to your suggestion. By all means, feature phones are still much much more superior for privacy. The "standing out" argument can be used for our hardcore de-Googled users too. If done *perfectly ideally*, their phone will be just as suspicious to glow-guys as a feature phone, because to their eyes there is no more data coming than a feature phone.

Yeah, probably the only way to get around that would be to have a pinephone or something with an open source radio module. (Not sure if those have them yet, but I saw a video about it. I think they were running doom or something on the module)

Interestingly, there are only a few carriers in the UK who are still allowed to use the 2G bands. 2G and 3G will be phased out in the next 10 years. Gotta force people to get those upgrades so they can check out our nudes.

Wait till you find out that 5G uses the same bands AND tech of 2G/3G for certain things. They could easily make it backwards compatible with old phones but that’s not gonna sell new phones, is it?
