Stupidest thing I've ever heard, you've clearly never worked for a company that's dealt with a customer info data breach. It costs them massive amounts of money to clean them up, pay for identity protection (never take that) and the PR alone costs them more in the end.

TMO is breached yearly, Mint customers and TMO customers aren't the same thing, Mint is TMO's customer, not the individuals. Not the same databases. In the end, Mint doesn't have half the data on it's customers that actual TMO does on theirs.

If it was a Google issue we'd all have that problem, and clearly that's not the case.

I'm also on a 7Pro with no issues with WPA3, when it comes to stuff like this, and you're running a Telco/Cable provided access point, my blame would start there as those things are never the way they're supposed to be, they run screwed with firmware that you can't control the updates on and never know if they're doing everything the way their supposed to or not.

I'm sure this has been resolved, but years ago when I installed for Comast, our Arris eMTA's were the go-to modem we'd use in both Residential and Commercial settings, but in commericial accts, the commercial billing codes would automatically disable the wireless portion of them, we were told they constantly screwed up and they were sick of dealing with the complaints as they had to deal with that when the acct was commercial vs with residential where they'd just blame the customer eq. So for commericial accts they had to use their own access points.

Then you don't grasp what's happening, You think the Goog wants to be in the middle of that shit? That's time and resources that don't benefit them. Providing that data puts them in a bad spot Everytime, simply not having the data to provide obsoloves them of that and is in both their and the end users best interest. The push getting worse is because current Stingrays don't work on 5G, so the internal police spying is very limited now, and getting location records from telcos requires more of a papertrail than going to Google and Apple in the past, and when cops are asking for shit they don't really need, they don't want to be in the books for it.

Well, no, not really. They're more private than Google, but have also never had issues in the past with geofence dragonets, and only because of public backlash stopped the idea of digging through people's gallerys to accuse everybody of being a pedophile. Yes, out of the box Apple (may) be a little better, but their descicions change with the wind, and at least on Android we have control to stop what Google does in most cases vs no options on the Apple side.
