Mobile networks are awful and are very easy to spy on.
But the video is worth every minute.
I did watch it in the end after your recommendation, and it was interesting. Thanks!
I don't particularly like Linus, but he was bearable in this video. As someone who assumed this was a SIM swap, I was genuinely as confused as he was playing it up when he was able to place calls but not receive them. That was really interesting.
Linus is great. Sure he has his flaws but of all the flawed people he doesnt have horrible ones.
Birds of a shit-feather flock together.
I have seen Linus straight up lie about things and distort benchmarks to make it seem like companies they get money from make better products than they do. Fuck that guy.
