@linuxmemes how can mobile phones possibly get hacked ?? I mean we use Android or iOS phones, which are pretty much secure, right ??🤔🤔🤔

        The only true secure way is to go back in time and stop the device from ever being created so no.one thinks to go back in time to stop you from throwing it into the sun. You may have to kill yourself though as you will be the only person who is aware of a phone that could have existed, if we are working with branching timeline theory.

        It’ll take months to get something to the sun. Better to bring the sun to it and vaporize it with Oxy Acetylene

      Even that might not do it, if you don’t make sure you get the SSD chips (or spinny disks depending on what the device is)

        Even then, it’s possible that there may be small embedded circuits inside the camera with the sole purpose of constantly recording and sending that data who knows where.

        You know, if you want to go full tinfoil hat.

          Oh yeah, absolutely true.

          Wonder if microwaving a device would be an easy way to make sure all the data storage is truly dead? Well, short of completely pulverizing it anyhow
