    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

          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.

      defeats the whole point of a phone imo. (for me personally) i only use it for music and communication. if I didn’t want communication i would just use a desktop
