Decision maker in terms of how they want to pull your teeth out

Dentist is responsible for fixing teeth, if it does not involve teeth and they dont know about it, they are fine for not knowing

No not the actual dentist but his manager

“Take a screenshot every few seconds” legitimately sounds like a suggestion from a low-parameter LLM that was given a prompt like “How do I add an arbitrary AI feature to my operating system as quickly as possible in order to make investors happy?” — but more sophisticated threats are on the horizon.

Thats brutal lol

Yes and that shouldnt matter because you are not supposed to use these phones for anything other than calling when you need someone

Cookies are some data that websites store in your browser, its text arranged in key-value pair, it could contain anything.

But putting an ip address in cookie does not sound something anyone would wanna do as I dont know the purpose of such a thing

This could also refer to some ISPs that give free internet or cheap internet paid by ads, if such a thing exists already(if not it will be a thing in a few years)

SIM tracking is another ball game, maby dont even have a SIM card. PIN lock your SIM card, only put it in your phone when you have to.

Maby put your phone in a Cement for more hardening /s

Unrelated but maby related to an extent.

Everyone I know uses Truecaller. Its a battery hog and a pile of horse manure. Except, one of my friend pointed out someone had added my number in Truecaller with some extremely ridiculous name that I had to register and change my name.

Ridiculous, but what can you say? India and Pakistan are both known to put up bullshit to promote their agenda
