I'll be the first to admit that it's reductive, but I can't help but think of this every time anyone brings up a single unified standard, no matter the technology.

I'm just here to satisfy my confirmation bias, but my question all along has been this: how does Meta simultaneously satisfy their claims of both E2EE and content moderation on WhatsApp? I can't say that I've done anything even close to a deep dive on the topic, but those two things seem mutually exclusive.

Requiring the use of their own app is only marginally better than not supporting it at all. I try to minimize the number of apps pn my phone, and banking apps are prime examples of a use case that can be completely fulfilled in a browser. Even if I used the app, I would prefer to be prompted for non-biomotric MFA each time I sign in anyway.

For the love of God, someone inform Citibank and Chase of this. My dinky little local credit union allows me to use TOTP, but Citi and Chase still only seem to support SMS.

I've had good luck with a couple Latitude 7280 laptops. Replaceable parts, with support for an NVMe drive. There's only one RAM slot, compared to the 7390 (I think), but a 16gb DDR4 SODIMM stick shouldn't be hard to find.

It came out of retirement for the last election.

I dont see it mentioned here, but I went with a 75" Spectre earlier this year. I had a 40" Spectre that was given to me third- hand, and I only replaced it because it was too small for the new place I moved into. Spectre doesn't seem to even offer smart TV, and I wanted to support that decision. The only potential downside that you may see is the lack of a 4k offering, but that wasn't something I care about.

This is the excellent news that I was lacking this morning.

Spectre makes a line of dumb TVs, but I don't think any of them are 4k. I spent about $600 on a 75" 1080p model last year.

Also disable biometric unlock methods. No rules against holding someone's phone up to their face while they're handcuffed.

To add onto the phone section: (1) Disable any biometric authentication, and (2) turn/keep it off whenever there's a chance that it will be siezed.

1. While the first amendment protects you from being required to give up your phone's pass code, there's no protection against someone just holding the phone up to your face or fingerprints to unlock it.

2. While your phone is never totally impenetrable, it is significantly harder to access in its BFU state (before first unlock). Most commercially available cracking tools will only work if the phone is in it's AFU state (after first unlock).
