I mean the only real solution here is to not use your phone in a situation where it could be stolen. Ear buds combined with Google or Siri or whatever can basically do almost everything you might "need" to do with a phone without ever removing it from a pocket, purse, what have you. Aside from that a phone can be remotely wiped easily enough. That combined with solid password security practices such as not saving your passwords, or simple pin numbers or pattern unlock will easily give you enough time to ensure your privacy remains intact and the only real loss is the cost of replacement.
Just curious, what situations are envisioning that a "theft proof" device is something that is absolutely necessary? Using complex passwords and such should be enough honestly. Insurance on phones is cheap and covers theft.
Or actual good drugs, like Adderall. Which is hard to do these days without a psychiatric recommendation. On a serious note If OP is struggling with opiates they should look into a Suboxone program. Plenty of clinics out there for that and it could get well save their life.
That's fair! I've got family members (father in law) that were the same way until I showed him a few things where tech could help him if just took the time to learn it from me. He was very reluctant but now he's almost addicted lol. It can be tough to get people at a certain age to embrace modern tools but it's always rewarding when you can get through to them and watch as they get excited like I was in 94 when I got AOL lol.
Had no idea they were elderly, I don't think you mentioned that. Have you suggested any credit unions local to you guys? They're def better than the big wig banks anyhow.
How could you possibly be technologically adept enough to know how to use lemmy and not understand what the reference is about? No judging, just curious.
Fucked me up so bad that even after 100+ previous experiences I'll never touch them again. Nor do I need to. I've seen God and I don't care to look again lol.
