Nothing to see here!
- Used to be: PIN code for your SIM card is asked only upon disabling "Flight mode"
- Now: PIN for the SIM card is asked upon booting, even if "Flight mode" is enabled
- Used to be: Operation Systems can be installed offline, and updated (if needed☝️) later
- Now: you will have hard time, if able at all, installing most OS (even Linux 😱) offline (e.g. it is impossible to reset your apple computer offline)
- Used to be: to open a bank account you need to come to bank, with your document and sign the contract
- Now: banks additionally DEMAND 🤦♂️ your cell phone number and email
- Used to be: fully "encrypted" smartphone does not boot, until you provide correct password
- Now: fully encrypted smartphone, somehow 🤷♂️, not only boots but also is able to show you notifications from messengers
