How realistic is the threat of the government remotely manipulating digital devices you own and planting evidence?

    It has happened before. It can happen anywhere.

    The Washington Post reported in December 2022 that hackers had planted evidence on Swamy's computer.

    Jailed without trial under terrorism laws with "evidence" never presented. But surely such draconian laws only exist in India.

  • You get 35fb of roaming and if I haven't mistaken you can still call mobiles and landlines for free under their 20eur plan. If that is cheaper than what you have in the US, probably go for that? Use a US sim not for data but just so that someone can call you.

    • Discussion: Do smartphone benchmarks matter?

    Jump

  • Given the cost of phones lately, everything matters! I was seriously looking to buy a new phone since the one I have is showing its age at 4 years. I looked at specifications, performance and reviews. You can buy smartphones now for similar screen, cam & battery specs but widely different pricing. Benchmarks gives me a rough idea on how the performance of a lower priced smartphone will compare to what I have right now or a more pricer phone. Is it the only reason for me to choose a smartphone? No. Is it one of the points that I look at to see how much bang do I get for my hard earned money, absolutely! Given that phones have become outrageously expensive, I want to know how much more I am paying for a given "improvement"
