I guess it's impossible to remove Google from Android phones. I have disabled Google, but cannot delete it. And it re-enabled itself later. The only way out of this, I'm thinking, is an alternative operating system for the phone.

How difficult is it for a non techy person to change their phone's operating system from Android to one of the non Android OS options?
What is the general process without risk of losing all the contacts, messages, and apps that are already on the phone in use?
I currently have a Samsung A13.
Thank you.

@th3f4ult@fedi.666666420.xyz I like #PhoneBooths.
not just the movie #PhoneBooth, but like the iconic #TelH78 (but I can also accept the #TelH90 Only disadvantage is that they are too small for a wheelchair so the #TelHb82 was created.
Personally, I want that classic German Phone Booth back, but better as in *
#Videocalling* and #FileTransfer and being useable as a #Phone with one's own #SIM card and having an #eSIM #VendingMachine to quickly buy #eSIMs on a SIM Card or change them around.
Ideally add like a "bus shelter" or "rest stop" kind of setup around it with #FreeWiFi (#Freifunk)...

Although the details are not identical it reminds me of how #Apple and #Samsung were in court over infringement of #phone designs.
Is #dji in the right or #insta360 in the right? One thing I'll point out is how Insta360 is the newcomer in #Shenzhen #China and has been gaining ground steadily on DJI.

The "Bluetooth Headphone Jacking" talk at #39c3 was awesome, too. They reversed a popular SOC that powers Bluetooth earbuds and headphones.
They found that (even without being paired to the headphone), they could dump flash and RAM from the device. Then they dumped a bunch of info from the device - e.g. the #Bluetooth address and "master" encryption keys used for the communication with paired devices (e.g. a #phone).
Then they impersonated the headphone from their laptop and connected to the phone (pretending to be the headphone).
The headphone (or the laptop impersonating the phone) has permissions to do some things on the phone, e.g. accept calls, increase/decrease volume, etc.
Then they started recovering access a #WhatsApp account via some account recovery mechanisms. That required some one-time security key which would normally be delivered via SMS, but that could be delivered via phone call as a fallback option, too. Since the phone thought it was connected to the Bluetooth headphone, phone call audio would go to the laptop via Bluetooth.
As the cherry on top, they escalated into the victim's #Amazon account.
Scary shit. #YouCannotBeParanoidEnough #security

Linux: a free computer operating system family. Linux was created by a Finnish student, Linus Torvalds, stating in a typically humble manner of Finns that it "won't be anything big and professional". Replacing for example Windows with Linux means user freedom. The best Linux? - The best one is "YOUnux" 🙂 test & find your own. Popular #Linux OS': Linux Mint / Ubuntu / Pop!_OS / Fedora Linux / Solus / elementary OS..
