They are not joking, and some cars cannot adjust the angle or lateral position of the headrest without replacement. There are cars (like 2009 Lincoln MKZs, cough) that have headrests and seats that look and feel exactly like the image.

I owned one for about 3 years, and I still blame it for starting my weird neck/shoulder problems years later.

This is just an impressive troll, right?

Signal’s defaults are pretty good about that. Push notifications are both opt-in and the information they send can be selected by the user. You can have it say “new message” and that’s it. Or the senders name. Or the whole message.

I agree that it’s not intuitive that that’s a leak to most people, but push notifications are kind of wonky how they work.

No matter how good the protocol or client encryption, your privacy is only as good as your own physical security for the device in question.

Given that if you lose your private key, there is no recovery, I would be surprised if there were real back doors in the clients. Maybe unintentional ways to leak data, but you can go look for yourself: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android

They have one for each client.

She’s not wrong though… people are complicated. Math… well, at that age? Math is easy.

Uh, I might be wrong here, but isn’t the whole purpose of split tunneling to allow you to send only necessary traffic through a given tunnel? Then the rest of your traffic goes whatever the default path is?

This seems more like a feature than a CVE. Maybe I’m missing something.
