Any unauthorized idiot who tries to grab my phone is in for a very unpleasant surprise from now on

@evilcookies98 Good grief. I hope they didn't do anything nasty to your personal data.

@carrottop1023 I live with someone who thinks the contents of everyone else’s phones are their personal business, and they have been known to snatch my phone out of my lap, or out of my hands even. Do that again, and your hearing might not recover for a while.

carrottop1023,
@carrottop1023@mastodon.social avatar

@evilcookies98 Good grief. Your information is yours, not anyone elses. I would suggest you have your phone locked in such a way that they would not be able to figure the pass key or, if you have FaceID available, that should also be used, if possible.

@carrottop1023 I don’t use an iPhone as my main phone anymore. I have the passcode and biometric set up, but their favorite times to snatch things include when I’m trying to watch videos. I found this gorgeous little app on the play store that will set off a shrieking alarm if your phone is moved.

carrottop1023,
@carrottop1023@mastodon.social avatar

@evilcookies98 Besides, if it continues, the law should be contacted.

evilcookies98,
@evilcookies98@dragonscave.space avatar

@carrottop1023 I don’t think they can do anything to the person who thinks it’s cool to snoop and everyone else’s personal information

carrottop1023,
@carrottop1023@mastodon.social avatar

@evilcookies98 The reason why I say that is, they could use that information and send it to anyone around the world.

evilcookies98,
@evilcookies98@dragonscave.space avatar

@carrottop1023 they just think they’re entitled to everyone’s personal information. They have my name is on a piece of paper so everyone’s life is my business syndrome.

carrottop1023,
@carrottop1023@mastodon.social avatar

@evilcookies98 HOwever that security application you have on your phone would hhopefully stop these incidents from continuing.

@evilcookies98@dragonscave.space avatar

@carrottop1023 i’ve been looking for something like that for years. It will also help when I go out of state this fall. If somebody were to steal my phone out of my pocket, they would suddenly feel 80,000 pairs of eyes boring into their soul from the shrieking alarm.

carrottop1023,
@carrottop1023@mastodon.social avatar

@evilcookies98 Not to mention, several desibels of massively loud sirons.

evilcookies98,
@evilcookies98@dragonscave.space avatar

@carrottop1023 right? I have that alarm volume cranked up to 100%, and it already has a very high-pitched siren of its own.

carrottop1023,
@carrottop1023@mastodon.social avatar

@evilcookies98 OH, good, that should stop sticky fingers from getting their hands on your device.

evilcookies98,
@evilcookies98@dragonscave.space avatar

@carrottop1023 it also has pocket removal detection, so if someone tries to steal it, guess what happens to them? It will also take a photo of anyone who tries to unlock your phone with the wrong passcode, which, I presume, includes you screwing it up yourself.

carrottop1023,
@carrottop1023@mastodon.social avatar

@evilcookies98 Oh, good. That sounds like a lovely app to have in your arsonal of security features.

evilcookies98,
@evilcookies98@dragonscave.space avatar

@carrottop1023 I don’t know if it exists for iPhone. Knowing Apple and their security features, probably not.

carrottop1023,
@carrottop1023@mastodon.social avatar

@evilcookies98 I dont' thinkk so either, Apple is very tight with their security for their users, Androyed is less secure, it's like Windows, you have to use an anti virus and other anti-mellware software to prevent your device from being used against you.

evilcookies98,
@evilcookies98@dragonscave.space avatar

@carrottop1023 I would rather use the antivirus, then not have a choice.

carrottop1023,
@carrottop1023@mastodon.social avatar

@evilcookies98 Well, I'd rather have an application that would provide duel functions.

evilcookies98,
@evilcookies98@dragonscave.space avatar

@carrottop1023 what Apple claims is to protect us is just a hindrance most of the time. They don’t let us customize stuff that is in there to be customized just because they don’t want us to.

carrottop1023,
@carrottop1023@mastodon.social avatar

@evilcookies98 Yeah, they are extremely proprietory.

evilcookies98,
@evilcookies98@dragonscave.space avatar

@carrottop1023 it’s honestly not fair to the User. These devices are our digital home so to speak. With your normal home, you can do whatever to make yourself comfortable. Apple wants to put you in one of those crappy college dorms.

carrottop1023,
@carrottop1023@mastodon.social avatar

@evilcookies98 Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm running an iPhone so, I kind of understand where your coming from.

evilcookies98,
@evilcookies98@dragonscave.space avatar

@carrottop1023 actually, the college dorm might be a little better. You can at least make your life bearable in one of those.

carrottop1023,
@carrottop1023@mastodon.social avatar

@evilcookies98 If I do switch to Android, I'd also switch to one of the Pixel wearables

evilcookies98,
@evilcookies98@dragonscave.space avatar

@carrottop1023 good call. Those are awesome. I have one strap to my wrist right now, and the earphones are amazing.

carrottop1023,
@carrottop1023@mastodon.social avatar

@evilcookies98 Oh, that's cool

evilcookies98,
@evilcookies98@dragonscave.space avatar

@carrottop1023 I have the whole pixel lineup basically, well, except for the tablet. Phone, watch, earphones.

carrottop1023,
@carrottop1023@mastodon.social avatar

@evilcookies98 I'd also go for a Pixel Phone, not sure what model I'd go for.

evilcookies98,
@evilcookies98@dragonscave.space avatar

@carrottop1023 I have the seven Pro. If you don’t need the absolute latest of everything, the seven series might be a little bit easier on the bank account. The seven a is the budget model, then there’s a standard seven, then the seven Pro. You could even go back another year if you don’t mind a year or less of updates.

carrottop1023,
@carrottop1023@mastodon.social avatar

@evilcookies98 True enough however, the series 9 is due out this year, I think.

evilcookies98,
@evilcookies98@dragonscave.space avatar

@carrottop1023 that’s right, if they stick to form. I don’t know that I’ll end up upgrading.

@evilcookies98 @carrottop1023 I can tell you right now, if I was living with someone that did that shit, they would learn in a red hot minute, you don't touch my stuff without asking! that is something I wouldn't tolorate at all!

evilcookies98,
@evilcookies98@dragonscave.space avatar

@JamminJerry @carrottop1023 that’s why I love that. Don’t touch my phone app. They will learn rather quickly that every time they move my phone, noise, noise, noise, noise, noise.
