    I'm still learning about cyber security, but from my understanding there is no 'Magic Bullet', only risk mitigation. One can only make a system more secure and private, but as the field is rapidly evolving what is secure today may not be tomorrow.

      opsec is inherently anti-user friendly.
      There are absolute 100% secure magic bullets but these can only be achieved by controlling EVERYTHING yourself,
      completely,
      a single piece of proprietary hardware = failed opsec.
      there exists barely any libre wireless hardware so say gbye to your wifi.
      endusers want wifi so channels like techlore that try to be user friendly serve only to spread awareness.
      this channel is a gateway to distrotube, who is a gateway to mental outlaw, who is a gateway to luke smith, who is a gateway to ditching (proprietary) tech altogether.

    Gotta say that it really is hard to find privacy focused RUclipsrs that can be trusted. As far as I’m concerned, there’s a fine line between channels that fill you in on the fine details vs instil fear.
    Channel that comes to mind is Rob Bradman Tech. Dude seems extremely knowledgeable, and I don’t doubt that he is, but hate that he tries to sell his own hardware VPN and phones that he installs custom roms on.
    Also makes a lot of those wild and unproven claims pretty frequently so I’m glad you’re more straightforward without pushing fear with “evil Facebook” or whatever it may be.

    As much as I used to enjoy The Hated One, I feel his channel is fragmenting the community a lot with the extremism and bad takes. Techlore has always had a very level-headed approach to Security and Privacy and the understanding that AVERAGE users do not want to solve 8 CAPTCHAs on Tor just to Google a dog breed their Aunt Sally had.
    That would be the quickest way to discourage average users from embracing privacy, which is the opposite of what we need these days.
    The more people we can educate about Security and Privacy (even if it's just a little), the higher the chance that they become intrigued, do their own research, come to their own conclusions, and hopefully can then spread the message to other average folks, snowballing the effect. I feel Techlore has always had similar intentions at heart and that's what's so great about this channel. 👍🏻

    It's funny that I thought I recently heard in the news that Estonia was advising people not to use certain brands of Chinese phones, including a model of OnePlus phone, because they found spychips in them.
    But when I looked it up, it was actually Lithuania, who were advising members of their government to abandon some brands of Chinese phones due to pre-installed software that had a disabled feature which is designed to block certain words and phrases, which could be activated remotely at any time. And OnePlus wasn't included in the advisory, and neither were spychips.
    Not sure if I got some mental wires crossed, or maybe someone else did. Or a little of both.

    • @World_Theory

      On the upside, I learned some interesting things about Estonia in my search. They have apparently been teaching the public about good cyber security since 2008, through programs in schools among other things. But it makes sense. Apparently 99% of their government services are available online.

    • @World_Theory

      Still never heard anything about Google having spychips in their phones. I don't think they'd need chips anyway. They have their fingers in most of the software ecosystem for Android. I'm not saying it's out of character for Google though. Other than the fact that they'd probably need to legally disclose the existence of the chips, similarly to what they have to do for their online services. (In the small print, of course. Hidden by a metaphorical coffee stain.)

(to the BIS, or IH$ Templar Intel.) and get your OWN VPN router and/ or say a Netgear M-1 Router and "pay cash" for SIM card(s) if you want to be more 'private.' That 'hacker' wasn't very savvy.

    man, I do recall Protonmail saying they don't log. The problem today is people say things tongue-in-cheek, and rarely mean anything they say. So no logging unless we are forced to reveal the logs we never had. But since that's all hidden in the small print, don't worry about that. I'm skeptical so I never went for that. Same with VPNs who claim they don't log. Privacy stops with you. Start your own services. I agree with most of your points. It'd be nice.. we'll get there eventually.

    Ok, ok, so if what they did was shitty, then what would you call protonmails privacy policy change? They were lying about "not keeping ip logs BY DEFAULT", other than that, there is a lot more shady stuff about proton like them not having a proper onion site (they redirect you back to clearnet after logging in) or them not having a private payment option (like monero, or mailing cash) for their premium services. It might not be a honeypot, but it sure is good for catching criminals. I really don't appreciate the bias you have on protonmail (just to be clear, despite all this, I still do use proton, since there aren't many better options, but I think you are presenting it like protonmail is a perfect email solution, even tho email pretty much can't really be anonymous and private (at least not on clearnet))

    My feedback is very positive. The privacy community needs more people like you. Just to give an example, let's face it: many users need Windows or just don't want to change to Linux. The typical paranoid privacy pure-FOSS advocate will just shum this user and say his privacy is hopeless until he changes his mind, and will shum the user too if he chooses Ubuntu or Mint (and also for not saying GNU/Linux)
    A pragmatic privacy (and security overall) advocate, actually trying to help, knows there are different risk profiles, privacy and security are neither perfect nor useless, and that there's much one can do to mitigate risks in Windows, for free, with minimal hassle.
    Please keep doing these informative videos, people must realize that safeguarding their data and personal information is not rocket science.

      It doesn't exactly help that he got sponsored by Startpage and won't talk about it objectively anymore and that he heavily advertises his own services with his fear mongering and because of that refuses to compare competing products in a fair and helpful way.
      All of his videos feel a bit like this: "Everything s(/z)ucks, we are being surveilled 24/7, there is little you can do except for browser isolation, device isolation, not using any social media accounts and using my services"

    I would probably have watched this regardless of the title and thumbnail. There is extra curiosity when relatively trusted sources resort to clickbait, but that alone doesn’t dictate my response. The risk level of the platform it’s on is also a factor, and so is the perceived likelihood of the source using clickbait for a somewhat legitimate purpose. I would guess that a lot of Techlore subscribers feel similarly, and would not necessarily respond to clickbait from the majority of other sources.

    Excellent common sense approach for your videos.
    I would love to see a comparison video on Calyx OS on a Pixel and iOS 14 on an iPhone regarding privacy and security.
    I am a subscriber to Rob Braxman, and he had me that worried about Apples privacy, i bought a Google Pixel and installed Calyx OS with Micro g enabled. He is great, but very extreme.
    Given there are still not a lot of videos on Calyx, i would love to see Techlore do this video comparison, please.

      Calyx is wayyy better for privacy than Apple, but if you’re still going and installing super invasive apps on calyx then it can be worse. Generally it’s the third party Apple apps that do most of the tracking

    I understand that privacy should be a given human right, but if people are really that bothered by a service helping authorities catch a criminal, then I think some people's priorities need to be checked lol.
    I understand skepticism when those actions violate the policy or claims that the company uses to sell their product, but there seem to be a small (likely just vocal) group of people in this community that get really upset that these companies won't protect them if they do something illegal.

    • @readifdumb

      The problem is most data has nothing to do with law. They sell your data around to make YOU the product. There have also been cases of people wrongfully imprisoned, fired from their job, or had their face/likeness used for advertising. Hackers, data breaches, and many other scammers online that purposefully try to get hold of your information to fuck you over. The idea that you’re not doing anything wrong, so it doesn’t matter, is flawed, because your data is being collected for uses outside of just law itself. Even regarding law, there have been states that have banned abortions recently. Places in the world that are anti-LGBT. Places like China that are super oppressive to their online users. Law changes, and law is not always enforced or enforced correctly.
      Privacy should be a human right. The faith in government to protect your rights or you as a person is laughable. History has shown us many countries/governments that have gone against basic human rights. That could happen to any country.

    i couldn't agree more with what you said in the entire video, but there is a big window which allows any misinformation to spread like forest fire
    shortage of time and poeple reading only headlines
    what's more prablamatic than a clickbait is people who read them and share them without knowing the entire truth, even tho the clickbait article will contain truth mixed with lies, the human eyes works on principle of what you see is what you get, and hence people who spread it are far more potentially problamatic than actual headline

Medium: get out of spying corporations and information trading. Advanced: avoid government and intelligence agencies.

    Let's take away that anyone's main threat-model comes primarily from the US Government, its legion of military contractors like Google/Alphabet, Israel and the UAE and any nation state in the US eye networks. Governments cracking down on political dissent makes government authority unresponsive to valid domestic differences of political opinion. If Proton Mail or any other company allows itself to be leaned on by a government itself being leaned on by those degenerates in team US Gov then screw them. The rights of the individual, in their respective nations, means nothing to them. Democracy means nothing to the US Government, and an informed public means nothing. Google, Amazon, Facebook, etc. are best thought of as extensions of the NSA.

      Also there are some very good and widely used programs exclusive to windows (maybe some gaming engines or photo/video editors), some Linux users will tell them to learn the Linux or open source alternative of it. I mean, everyone has limited time in their life, it is almost illogical to put hours to learn a new program rather than using that time to improve their skill or just relax. (Btw, this opinion is coming from a GNU/Linux user.)
