  • Ya you definitely have to pick your battles! I just use plain Samsung android with a sim and am aware of the vulnerabilities it creates. I see it as a low security device, so it can’t just access everything willy nilly. I also work with XR and I am not sure if all the stuff works properly if I’d pick a different solution. I think it’s best to remain practical and keep moving, but to invest a bit of time over the years, which has good results for me.



  • Ah I mean when you buy for example an Intel CPU it has IME enabled. Some vendors turn this off for you, because doing it at home can brick it. For phones you have some kind of micro Java running on the sim chip and it has full system access and can be patched remotely. I haven’t looked into a real solution yet, but you can also use a solution where the sim is connected via USB. Or don’t use one. There might be other hardware vulnerabilities, but that’s one I know of.
