    To turn off your phone’s geolocation, turn off your phone.

      Even if you turn off your phone, there is a lower-level operating system that is still connecting to cell phone towers. You either have to take the battery out, or leave your phone at home.

      Try doing a search for “baseband processor”.

        RF-blocking bags can also solve this problem.

    just wants to be able to spend a bit of quality time with his family

    Oh. So he’s not scared of the masses he’s complicit in murdering1 seeking vigilante justice since they’ll get no justice from “the justice system”? I could have swore it was that, and/or going to secret meetings about how else to screw over “the little people”, further impoverishing and disempowering them.

    Well that’s nice to know he’s just a family man.

    1 Like happened when he served as the Governor of the Bank of England from 2013 to 2020, with over 130,000 people were culled by imposing abject poverty, depriving them of social services and breaching duty of care.

    Can any phones operate in starlink only mode? Would that offer any protection or would SpaceX just give the data to whoever asked?

      Well if you ask me, I only use Chrome on my iPhone connected to Starlink to order from Amazon with my credit card, I’m basically a ghost.

    The Beaverton really needs to stick to satire, it was never meant as an advice column.
