The Joe Rogan Experience
#2473 - Bill Thompson

And just by virtue of it being built on the Android open source project, that's a great thing.

The Joe Rogan Experience

Just don't call it totally unhackable.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2473 - Bill Thompson

Because a guy like me, I don't need but a week or two to tell you on this current build, like, here's the hole in this Swiss cheese.

Now, is it far better than having a Google phone?

The Joe Rogan Experience

with standard firmware and standard OS or an Apple phone.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2473 - Bill Thompson

I don't know about Apple because again, you asked me about Apple and I said, I don't know Apple.

The Joe Rogan Experience

I don't know what's happening at the top of that company, but I know that they like to monetize people and that's pervasive in my mind.

And using data that people don't know is getting used, even though it's in a 40 page terms of services document is pervasive.

The Joe Rogan Experience

So I just don't know what that highest level of analysis is.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2473 - Bill Thompson

And that's why I said to answer your question about the safest phone, I would ask you what you're using it for, who you are and what are you doing in the world is the best way to answer that question.

The Joe Rogan Experience

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2473 - Bill Thompson

I mean, OK, I'll tell you generally what I would say, because you might ask me that question one day because we go back and forth about a lot of tech.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2473 - Bill Thompson

I know specifically what I would recommend for you to do.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2473 - Bill Thompson

And I'd even tell you to hire someone else to do it, not me.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2473 - Bill Thompson

Um, because that just, that checks and balances is what I would want.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2473 - Bill Thompson

But, um, for you, I would say you should take something like a, um, a raspberry pie and you should run wire guard on your phone and you should route all of your internet traffic through something like a home terminal at your house through a raspberry pie using something like wire guard, um, which is a VPN that I use.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2473 - Bill Thompson

You know, everything should be routed through that.
