To raise the tech literacy level of people, you would first have to convince them that it is worth their time to do so. The tech community has attempted to do this for years and failed. I don't see this happening. In fact, efforts continue to make tech easier for the tech illiterate. The expectation is that all of the "hard stuff" should be down behind the scenes so that they don't have to. The nerd crowd will continue to be a relatively small minority of computer users IMO.
I remember getting computer classes in school but they don’t do them anymore at all. I had to teach my brother how to use a computer bc he only knew how to use iPads/touchscreens - bc not even my parents realised he didn’t actually know how to use it :/ (both my parents are teachers btw)
It's because no one is punished for tech illiteracy at nearly any level. At the individual level, they can just yell at some unfortunate tech support/helpdesk employee and if the representative pushes back, the representative is punished. At the corporate level, you can lose the private information of hundreds of millions of people and all that happens is you get some nominal fine. Like National Public Data knew they were being attacked since Dec 2023 and didn't tell anyone or do anything about it til August 2024 and confirmed they lost data 2.9 billion records. Crowdstrike's massive issue earlier this year they just get to say their user agreement limits their liability.
@@rainzerdesu Funny thing is that those fines would do nothing even if they would be so big... Company can always fill in bankruptcy in worse case and/or fire employees to have a good year. Other question is where those fines are going to? To government and what they do with those money. Better if those amounts would be freezed and it would become mandatory for company to use to hire security specialists (maybe from curated list of governmental agencies) to improve the situation.
100% this! This is the DREAM situation for megacorps and exactly what they have been aiming for for decades. It's not a coincident MS just ignores the outcry about recall, they KNOW ppl do "not have a choice", and will rather blame anything other than the actual problem witch is lack of basic tech education in school AND megacorp propaganda... It's not a coincidence corps like NXZT are making MILLIONS RENTING OUT computers at insane prices to ppl that THINK they own that computer.
Peolle not deleting their data from apple products is a MASSIVE source of ewaste. Thousands of devices are dead weighs becasue they wont remove from icloud. Workplaces are starting to charge the person the full price of the device if they dont reset them, and trade in companies will evaluate $0 if you dont reset them because theyre functionally useless without resetting these days.
Stop offering monitoring services, and pay us when you loose our stuff. I mean seriously. Oh we lost your personal info here's 10 dollars a month for 2 years! teehee.. we made millions but here's 240 dollars! it's bs.
6:08, but that’s what ya’ll was just talking about. Regardless or not, people don’t know how to find the wiping methods. They’re really easy to find though under the Settings app. 💯 Android, iOS (iPhone & iPad) & Windows do all have these features. All found under your Settings app.
4:35 these are the types that are like "i paid hundreds for your device! I demend you protect my data!" Don't be that customer service guy that goes off script and tells them they have to use measures to do things.
We really need to look at "devices." This video considered "like a phone", but we do have to consider Smart TVs, Smart appliances like Refrigerators and Washer/dryers, and even most modern cars where people connect to play music and send/receive calls...there is a scary amount of non-regulated or poorly regulated/enforced personal data collection very poorly protected if at all.
@CenturionKenshin This data is NOT necessary. I suspect the framework for any such system has base coding hosted by an advertising, data collection, or data aggregator/broker service that offers the framework for super cheap to people because we the consumers are the product they're selling. Writing your own code would take professional knowledge, experience, and connections and I'm sure whoever is behind most of the base code out there is making it as difficult and expensive as possible for other capable people to do so. I'm also sure most people are lazy and choose to take the easy code and whoever owns the base code is partnering with as many entities as it can to force exclusive use of their code. There are systems out there with mountains of data that most people have no idea what to do with, but if you dragnet all the info, someone out there is going to pay for it. The issue is what YOU are willing to do...like read through a whole ToS or EULA, AND THEN CHOOSE to PAY MONEY for an alternative to the "free" product.
I got a Lorex DVR and the performance sucked so I took it apart, formatted the drive, put a bunch of videos of 10 hour black screens, then worte zeros to the entire drive, reassembled it then returned it. If you get harddrives from amazon for data hoarding, encrypt it so if it a DOA (It just stops working after a week because someone threw too hard before delivery), you can return it without the fear.
Please title the surveillance report videos as Surveillance Report xxx' otherwise people might skip the video thinking it's a click bait. I missed last week's video and almost missed this week's.
You can have the more click bait title plus a more accurate title seperated by a dash (-) I hate when product review videos don't put the product model in the title.
I agree, this needs a proper title. Also is easier to keep track of. They can put the "29% of People Make This Serious Privacy Mistake" in the thumbnail
Data Removal Service which also collects your information, index it and sell it to other companies. Not Data Broker at all, yet Google and Big Bros taking the blame. NICE! WHAT A PRIVACY!
Guys dont you think that the such a huge impact or possible impact of health information breach is the result not only of the lack of security, but also the result, lack and wrong of governmental politics that made this information so influential(and actually weaponized) as it can be used by "health" insurance companies and other entities to make profit. That is another ethical question if any health insurance should provide any profit at all. In Central Europe and Eastern Europe this type of information leak would be and is less impactful from this perspective due to everyone contribution into health security on taxation level.
So what you are saying is that anyone who has any type of google account, and you also have an android phone with any google apps, google will now track everything you do on those devices including your desktop if you every use chrome browser, or log into youtube or other google services at any time, google will then embed a fingerprint that forever track everything you do. I think my new News Years Resolution is to do my best to get off of google services. Which might also mean, me getting rid of my youtube channel. This really scks 😡 I got 90% away from windows and my daily driver is Linux, now I have to erase my entire life that has anything to do with google.
I have all my old phones but my s9+ has half a screen that's tinted purple (not too big a deal tho) & my first phone (a samsung) but Verizon is still on it bc i really got ripped off by them & got mad so I still owe them a little bean. I don't like my s24+ but Idk what I can do about it now.
i write this comment before much is said about erasing data from phones, Wiping the Device once is not even enough, you have to wipe it more than once and at best create a new Google account to get rid of your old data so that it can't be restored
1. 702 was not expanded, at all. 2. 702 does not, and has not, ever targeted US persons. 3. Foreign affairs, such as journalists, random citizens, and politicians, etc. are also not subject to 702 targeting. For expert analysis, see David S. Kris and Doug Wilson's National Security Investigations and Prosecutions, 3rd edition.
I think it's because they lean left politically and Odysse/lbry leans right. I remember Nick from The Linux Experiment complained about it being too "alt-right".

@alexdrockhound9497 you can change your name, and ssn but it's hard. But who wants to change there name

Many companies can't (or won't) delete device data. Some devices, like cars, don't make it possible for an end user to wipe their own data.

Have been listening to audio version for awhile, so I didn't know homie grew a beard! Looks good 👍
The thing about common sense is that in many cases, it isn't so common. In others, it's shown to be not common practice.

8:28 I mean, you're probably not wrong! Depending on why the patient is at the hospital, doctors will often ask about intimate partners.
How many people erase their data on their cars' computers before they sell them?
Thank you

I don't sell, donate or dispose of computery tech so I don't need to wipe them.
