disabling wifi is a checkbox on the phone app not """extensive conversion is only for very capable hackers and has been done by only three people on our planet"""
- morphle 3y agoEnglish is not my native language, you might have taken me too literally. You have to be a very capable hacker to modify all the different Starlink firmware of all the chips involved. There are dozens of reasons to do that, unrelated from disabling WiFi. And no, a GUI check box has little relation to what the hardware actually does.
- lxgr 3y ago> There are dozens of reasons to do that, unrelated from disabling WiFi. You're moving goal posts now. If the stock firmware/software now allows disabling Wi-Fi, you don't need to hack the hardware. And if you can't trust the stock firmware, i.e. you have reason to assume that it's actively malicious (e.g. by turning the Wi-Fi back on randomly), how can you trust the hardware? Who's to say that it doesn't, e.g., have an undocumented transponder feature that replies to a specific type of interrogation?
- morphle 3y agoYou measure and reverse engineer. That is what hackers should do. >You're moving goal posts now. I'd say you where interpreting my comments on hacking too narrowly.
