@movq Surely it isn't as bad as this though right? šŸ¤” I mean reading the Wikipedia page on A-GPS, it sounds to me like it sends enough data to the nearest tower to give you enough data to warm-up the GPS receivership, presumably with GPS coordinates of the tower itself? I can imagine this data payload would include the Date/Time, IEMI and possibly your SIM details and Phone number (_why not_). It could be worse 🤣

One thing I’ve learned from locking down my Android phone (see #pknsrda):

The data for assisted GPS does not come from *Google* or, better yet, *A PUBLIC SERVICE*, but from a server hosted by the *hardware manufacturer*. Without regularly fetching fresh A-GPS data, the GPS performance is *much* worse (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assisted_GNSS).

This means that the hardware manufacturer has (more or less) direct control over whether I’m able to use GPS or not. This isn’t an Android setting, it’s buried deep within the device, no way to change the URL. If that manufacturer decides one day to cut me off, for whatever reason, or goes bankrupt or whatever, then I’ll have to buy a new phone.

And of course, this data transfer is encrypted as well, so I don’t know what my phone sends to those servers.

All this smartphone business is such a clusterfuck. I should have never bought one of those things.

I have a day off, national holiday.

What happened so far:

- Internet outage since early in the morning. Still going on.
- Unable to reach a human being at my ISP, so I hope they mean it when the computer voice says "we know it, we're on it". 🤣
- systemd (PID 1) crashed. Might be partially my fault, but meh.

I take this as a sign to not do any computer stuff today. 🤣
