Fucking cool, and also remember to leave your phone at home, or at least on airplane mode.
In airplane mode and even while turned off, phones have been known to still transmit data via background services. Leaving it behind, or a Faraday bag are the only assured options I’m aware of
Not while turned off, generally. Screen off, sure.
Edit: apparently at least some do
There is no such thing as “off” on modern Smartphones. Even if you power it down things like the baseband prozessor and bluetooth still stay active most of the time.
If the battery is integrated into device there ist no real way to completely shut this things down.
wtf got a source on that? Sounds quite scary tbh

No they don’t
Just as an example:
https://www.apple.com/icloud/find-my/
“Some devices can still send their location for up to 24 hours after they’ve been turned off or have low battery life.”
https://www.91mobiles.com/hub/exclusive-google-find-my-device-feature-phone-off
“Google began rolling out this feature as “Powered Off Finding” with the Pixel 8 series, letting users locate their phone even when it’s switched off by keeping the Bluetooth chip active.”
And those are only some of the official known possibilities
Thats not correct. Iphones and androids are never truly off. There are a few privacy focused phones by small makers with hardware switches for each radio. You can run android or linux on them.

My phone OS allows me to disable 2G, which I do because of SS7 vulnerability, but not 3G unfortunately.
What is the correct hardware?
Any of the 5 or 6 cheap wireless hotspots listed in the link in the article.
Probably should have read the article hahahah. Thanks.
In your defense, it seems like just a link to a repository.
That’s why I don’t click it. But like. I could have. I have the power. Of click.
I’ve taken too many phishing tests. I have lost the power of clicking.
Is there a good one for Canada in specific though? As far as I can tell the Orbic only works in the US, and as a result I’m not sure if I can trust the other devices, even if they’re the same ITU region. Would the TP-Link work? The docs suggest it should work in the US as well as Europe.
