@rochelimit @techglimmer receiver only systems aren't necessarily untrackable (see TV detector vans), but it's probably not something you need to care about with GPS.

@rochelimit @techglimmer wait no if you're paranoid enough to have a hardware cutoff for the microphone and camera then you totally want a hardware cutoff tor GPS and possibly the modem, because there's no reason to have such cutoff if you fully trust your software to protect you from any malware or unauthorized access

@rochelimit @techglimmer assuming the OS doesn't track you and that you don't worry about malware then yeah I guess GPS doesn't matter

@rochelimit @techglimmer I suppose it depends on the threat model, you're right in that GPS use isn't [easily?] trackable from outside the device, and arguably by the time you care about GPS you'd probably be more concerned about the modem which often has quite privileged access to other hardware

@techglimmer does it have GPS/GNSS and if so can you cut that out as well?
