So I will update my PS3 slim then but do they really think people with jailbroken consoles are going to update them? I haven't updated my CFW fat PS3 for years.

It’s Call of Duty Warzone believe it or not.

I look at more of how much privacy do I want and what am I willing to give up to get it.

The more you try and keep your data private the less user friendly things tend to get. You need to find a balance that suits you while satisfying your main privacy concerns.

But staying away from "big tech" as much as you can and using a good VPN (Proton or Mullvad) is a MUST for any threat model.

I gave up on my first attempt to go fully private because I tried to go as far as is possible. Now I have struck what I think is a good balance. No iCloud, No Google and absolutley no Facebook, Twitter or Reddit.

Just because it LOOKS like you deleted it can you know for a 100% certainty that it isn't still running and hidden in the background?

It has been for years. But since Two-Tier Kier has arrived on the scene he appears to using 1984 as a how-to manual.

However it's not ALL bad. It has made a lot of people that until now didn't care about data privacy start doing what they can to keep their data out of government reach.

Until the Apple ADP fiasco I was all-in on iCloud. Now I don't use any of it. I use local encrypted storage with dummy partitions and passwords so I can give those if i'm ever forced and they still get fuck all.

What if we don't store it in the cloud and keep local encrypted storage only? I guess Mr FBI is shit out of luck then.

How do we live in a world where local storage is now the only safe choice?

I'm switching from iPhone to Pixel soon and its crap like this that made me decide to install GrapheneOS on it as soon as comes out of the box.

Why does the PS3 need annual Blu Ray keys? I have a Blu Ray player I bought in 2010 which works just fine and has never been updated.

I wonder what these annual updates really do?
