The Privacy, Security, and OSINT Show @lemmy.one nemery @lemmy.world Prepaid data sim card
Doesn't M. Bazzell's Mobile Device guide still reference him buying Mint Mobile Sim cards with 5 GB of data for $1 at Best Buy? Search the SKU number; it seems the item is discontinued. He hinted at the time of writing that they might be up to $5-$6. That's a big jump, but I think they are now $15, and you need to prepay $180 for 12 months for that. Really? Where can we reliably buy a sim card w 5GB of data for $5 or less?

The Privacy, Security, and OSINT Show @lemmy.one ThrowAwayAccount @lemmy.one Michael in a foreign jail?
Just kidding (I hope) but in the prior week's episode (303) he mentioned that he would be trying out some new forms of identification during a trip and joked that if it doesn't work out he might have to see if he can record a podcast while in a foreign jail. Then this Friday, a new episode wasn't dropped. Wonder if that actually happened.
