ARM only licenses chip designs, same with the GPUs. You can't just assemble an SOC from off the shelf parts, it's all fabricated in one go on one chip. Apple purchases ARM designs but heavily modifies them before getting them manufactured by TSMC. Project Kalamata is also geared to make Apple completely leave Intel behind. -

Or they can use some 0days and just call you and now you've got a root kit on your device.
If a serious agency wants to monitor you, they'll monitor you. -

"All they have to do" lol.
If they have unfettered physical access to your shit then they can probably break your knees and get whatever they want from you.
Actually getting free physical access is difficult. And if you have any type of home surveillance or security yourself, it becomes much harder. The fact is that government agencies are not magic ninjas. When it comes down to it, it will involve an actual human being breaking into your shit and planting shit on your shit. And at the end of the day, nothing makes that easier.Or they can use some 0days and just call you and now you've got a root kit on your device.
That's not how hacking works. A zero day is just an otherwise unknown exploit. Usually the exploit is some shit like your printer's buffer is insecure to other devices on your network, and then it can fuck you when it talks to your device. It's incredibly difficult to get remote access to devices these days.
More likely, the NSA and similar agencies have an actual planted backdoor in the software somewhere. I wouldn't be surprised if Google's GApps package (closed source and proprietary) has backdoors so they can just access phones whenever.If a serious agency wants to monitor you, they'll monitor you.
True.
Just, it's not magic. -
2019-05-02 at 7:42 PM UTC^The USSS has been know to access people's devices when they have the opportunity to and place keyloggers.
The are many kinds of 0days. One could be a phone call to your phone that places a rootkit on your phone. It's possible but expensive. -
2019-05-07 at 1:15 PM UTCI don't really know all that much about Hauwei, but i assume China would be getting your data instead of the US if you use a Hauwei.
As an interesting side note, i once took all the important files/programs, shared libraries and boot related things from a Samsung phone i had. And i wish i would have stored the results or made a screenshot because there were Licensing files related to the things i mentioned that i extracted along with the rest. And after puzzling some of the stuff back together i actually found multiple License files, signed and/or written on behalf of the NSA. How do i know this? They literally mentioned the NSA in these licenses. -

They are likely fir legit use. Maybe for those emergency broadcasts...which could be some type of Backdoor or something... -

Chinese corporations will loom over a totalitarian landscape of horrifying pseudo capitalism under state control.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!
