No shit, Sherlock? In the UK a lot of fuel pumps have credit/debit card readers built in, and if not cards are accepted everywhere for payment already. But yes electric charging companies here are still wierd about accepting such standardised payments, and we did just introduce a new law about it [0] promising "most" but not all chargers will accept cards.

If you genuinely weren't aware of CDs, that's fine, see https://xkcd.com/1053/.

I was assuming that's what they were doing. Maybe you could combine both ways, with really imprecise models, so the phone captures and upload only words that above average chance of matching (so not that much data), and have heavy servers do the rest?

Yes I don't work in this field, but you shouldn't assume that just because you don't know how something can be achieved, then no one else has figured it out either (especially where they're motivated to keep it secret).

Let's try to imagine a world where that exists, keyword detection exists as well ("ok google" etc), and keyword detection for targeted ads doesn't exist. Can you? I can't.

Do you realise phones cost money and not everyone can afford an iPhone?

But I agree with the earlier point, that it is a closed platform. If you want to respond, I thought it requires a phone number now in addition to email? It used to at least. And if Twitter doesn't like you, why is your ability to communicate with an official regulated by this private company? And Nitter is likely to get shutdown by Twitter any moment now in the same way as Apple is trying to shutdown Beeper.

Then if you can control the client, you can just do regular DNS lookups for .evil.com, that goes to the victim's DNS server, and that DNS server forwards it to this DNS server, which saves (many of them) to a file.

Edit: looking closer, this isn't exactly how this tool works, this DNS server assumes the client can send directly to this DNS server, I was assuming it didn't need to do that (and if it sends to the victim's DNS server instead, it's a lot harder to block). If you used it as I thought above, the output filename would just be "evil.com".

You can bind a keyboard shortcut to a script that copies the primary to clipboard, then can use ctrl-v. Most apps also bind shift-insert to paste the paste buffer, so I bind shift-delete to this script, then to paste the primary it's just shift-delete then shift-insert. Here's the "script":

     xsel -p | xsel -i -b

Maybe this was bad advice, this approach is like trying to learn a spoken language by listening to a recording and looking up each word at a time. Probably it'd be better to get a deep understanding of how CPUs work in general, I can recommend the book Computer Organization and Design by Hennessy and Patterson for this. I agree with the other commenter that 15 years is more realistic so maybe just start by getting a 4 year degree in CompSci (and that book will probably be required reading).

On the other hand, maybe your binary can be decompiled to source code (e.g. CFR can decompile java classes, I've used that a bit but haven't checked if that's useful for Android apps).
