> ISPs are fined according to the number of vulnerable devices they connect.
That sounds like how we get ISPs only allowing ISP-provided routers and only devices from a few big manufacturers can connect. And things like phones running LineageOS not being able to connect.
I was thinking new devices having to pass tests in the spirit of the electromagnetic interference tests for certification. Except models having to pass the tests yearly / quarterly / any time period. Such expenses would be covered by the manufacturer during the official life of the device offered by the manufacturer.
I understand your point. What you describe is happening in Australia. Hopefully any law targetting botnets and any other in the future has a clause forbidding this behavior of banning provider not approved devices when they are technically compatible.

Ah yeah that makes sense. They have messaging built into their app so you can message friends and family while onboard the ship. I didn't use it - but of course, if they block APNS, messages wouldn't be able to show up on the lock screen.
Latest Element X Testflight and nightly both crash for me very consistently when navigating back from two or more levels deep (like from Chats > room > room info and then going back). iOS 26.1 beta (23B5064e). I’ve been blaming it on iOS for now since I can’t go back to not running a beta yet :( Also seems like the notification badge is always = real notifications + 1 which i’ve read happens with Synapse or something but I’ve never found a way to fix it.
Also seems like spoiler messages in Element X appear as just an empty chat bubble that i’ve been meaning to report. And why does sending spoilers on Element require using /spoiler when discord and telegram use `||spoilered text||`?
I really want to love Matrix. I’ve been using it with my girlfriend (on a self hosted Synapse server for us) who barely tolerates it, some other friends who range from also tolerating it to hating it (and having decryption errors a lot with a friend who has several clients they switch between, mostly whenever I send a message from another client like when going from element to nheko). I bridge Telegram, Signal, and IRC to matrix (and probably will add more soon). I’m not sure why I care so much about this chat protocol, but I do for some reason and I really want to see it work.
Unfortunately that really does sound like an iOS beta problem - iOS betas are infamously unstable, and effectively used by Apple to hunt crashes that they've introduced when existing apps run.
Hoping there’s a new iOS version soon then so I can get off the beta, has been annoying dealing with crashes but at least element x launches really fast.
Really glad to hear that notification badges are almost fixed! I left an upvote on the spoilers issue but don’t really have anything to add other than it’s annoying to not have a way of even seeing the contents.
I think the idea is your mail server is set to only accept emails to account names you’ve generated instead of being a catch all. So if one of the ones you generated is used for spam, you could just deactivate that one and move the service that email was associated with to a new generated email. and because there’s no catch all, an attacker can’t just sign up literallyanythingrandom@example.com with dozens or hundreds of different emails.
if it’s only the kid and the nearby phone user, and the nearby phone user is having an emergency (that’s also preventing them from being able to call themselves) then the kid is able to do it.
If you go to Settings > Privacy & Security > App Privacy Report you can see domains contacted by an app, which apps contact a specific domain, and data and sensor access logs. Can also export it as a JSON file.
I think the data and sensor access logs is a newer feature since I don’t think I’ve seen it before, but network activity has been in there for at least a few years. The network activity is also only domains and ip addresses, nothing about protocol or what data was sent unfortunately.
