I've not seen anything that creepy, but one of the youtube channels I watch is an outdoors person, and she posts videos of like building shelters and shit, along with other things but honestly those are the ones I care about...
She posted a thing awhile back after taking some time off, apparently one of the viewers recognized something in one of her videos, and decided to spend weeks wandering around forests trying to find her.
A dude literally went out of his way for WEEKS to find a woman he has never met, who doesn't know he exists, and he knows travels alone in the woods, so he can be face to face with her in the middle of nowhere..... And didn't see a problem with that apparently.
Now in this instance, it was more of "wander a large area looking for signs" but another YouTube (tom Scott) posted a video awhile back giving as little information as possible, and it was him standing in a cornfield. Only a small bit of the sky was visible. He literally asked for people to track down that spot, in order to prove a point in another video.
People did it scary quick, unfortunately there was either a plane or a contrail visible, and with time of day and the sound of a nearby frog people got the spot to within a few feet or something like that. Details are fuzzy, it's been years since I saw the video.
Within 15 miles isn't really doxxed. You can get better accuracy with GPS or cellular tracking. This seems like fear mongering. "Oh NO! AI is so dangerous!"
That can always happen if you post a photo. People from your region may recognise things. Police also has experience checking for clues in pictures, like wallpapers or other decorative items.
This technology just expands the number of persons who can find out in a short time.
My point is: If you want to hide, don't give people clues. This has always been the case.
if you just want audio & your car doesnt support Bluetooth you could use an adapter to take it from Bluetooth to 3.5 aux. if your car is so fancy it doesn't have aux input you can get a Bluetooth to FM radio adapter that will take over one the channels in your car as well.
Yes you can! Your offline backup is inside the app data (you need a file manager to access the folder). If you use a Samsung Device, i think you won't be able to see it unless you plug the phone on your PC.
If its that serious, dont take your phone (or any device). A nation state will have no trouble tracking you if you're a worthy target.
You are asking in the wrong place. Your country will have a department of foreign affairs or similar, you should be speaking to them. They are the experts.
I actually don't know if newer cars can just use Bluetooth without an app. I've been thinking of replacing my car with something more practical which is why I posted this. I don't know how much privacy newer cars have left.
Unless it's changed in newer car models, Android auto only connects when you physically plug it into one of the provided USB ports in the center console/glove compartment. The BT connection only allows media and phone usage (audio and SMS). You won't get maps or other apps to appear on the in vehicle display, though.
Connect it for what purpose? Audio only? I've bought a Bluetooth to Aux-In adapter, it's a tiny USB dongle that pairs with your phone, and sends audio to the line-in port of the car radio (if you have one).
They can only reveal metadata since they keep everything encrypted, but that was enough to track down this person's Proton recovery email address? That's disconcerting.
Trying to use a commercial privacy service to threaten election officials is definitely some dumb shit though, but I bet they could have avoided that outcome with some better opsec
Yeah? Proton have always said they will comply with Swiss authorities for requests for metadata. Good luck finding any email provider that doesn't comply with it's home countries laws.
MacOS has had spotlight search which searches any shit in your computer in 0.1s for over 10 years now. We have a pity search engine that takes 5 minutes to look up for a slightly obscure file in your computer and this piece of shit is all that they can come up with?
