No shit. It’s why I plan to make custom EM shielding for my devices, including my ID card…just to break the tracking.
tinfoil actually works for this
This is such a old image
You can tell because there’s only one camera instead do the 3-6 on a modern phone
That cut doesn’t actually go through the chip
Or just use a Nokia 3310 phone
SIM cards existed in the 90s, but I get your point.
Everything works perfectly fine, and on top of that all the robot spam calls stopped!
Technically correct…
close, but the phone will connect to the towers and track you without a sim card.
(also bluetooth and wifi)
Delete the French localization too
I always leave my phone at home when doing crimes.
This PSA has the same vibes of the late great Apple Ads 4chan made back in the day.

Is this what actually got people to microwave their phones? I never saw these and thought it stemmed from fake videos. The design is pretty on point tbh
Or old-school “Household Hacker.”
🤓 that sim card would still work, the smaller sim cards are the same chip just in a smaller plastic housing, you can cut them to size and some of them (like the one in the photo) come with premade lines as guides

Well, if you were born in 2013 and later, there is a dude named Edward Snowden who told people about this but they called him names. This is not new. Anonymity on the internet has become a fantasy today.
Also if you existed before 2013, Ed’s revelations are somehow still relevant.
Still tracks you when you connect to wifi.
I am genuinely surprised at the amount of people in the comments who don’t realize this is satire
Oh most people get it would be my guess, they just prefer commenting on mass surveillance.
I mean we have e-sim now but within the demographics of Lemmy, people know about old sim cards for sure.
This is deliciously evil
This also stops those pesky scam calls!
