I am sure most of you are aware that the new phones; and I am not speaking the latest but the newer phones produced in the past few years have sealed batteries. It is way, way harder for someone to remove a phone's battery than it used to be back several years ago. Some research tells you that manufacturers do this in order to make it harder for repair shops to fix it, so you have to spend more money on it or just buy a new phone completely. Basically, it is a way for them to make more money and steal from people's pockets.

But what shocks me is that I recently learnt, even when you power off your phone by pushing that little button on the sides, or shutting it down from internal options, your phone does not really shut down. The screen is powered off but your phone is still connecting to other networks and towers. It is still exchanging data and there is not much data known but it is very likely you can still be easily tracked even when you think you have shut your phone down. This means; you are always being tracked, or rather, you are trackable. It would not be hard for the phone operator to send a file and RAT your phone, record you while the screen is shut off and you go on to do your daily shit not realizing you are being tracked. The only way to stop this is; break your phone, make a hole on it or have it shut down by having it at 0% battery. For majority of us, destroying our phone would be the last option. So, do we leave it at 0%? Well, even then, scepticism kicks in; what if the phone has a back-up battery system, so even when you are at 0% battery, the backup still holds some power, enough to track you for a few hours after you run out of battery from the main source. What I want to say is; what the fuck is going on? And why are we not speaking of it.

Actually, even you take all precautions, even if you are one of the most hunted hackers in the history of humanity. Even if you caused the economy of a whole "great" country to collapse. Even if you are skilled enough. Would you ever think the keyboard you write in is safe?

Do you really trust your keyboard? Let's say you encrypt your computer and erase your old data with Gutmann algorithm. You set a 120 digits long password. You do a big criminal offence. You get swatted. You are sure that none except you knows your 120 digits long password, that you have memorized for the last 10 years and it is made up of random digits. You are under investigation. Next day, you hear from your lawyer and court "YOU ARE FUCKED". You'd first take some anti depressant pills and after some hours you think to yourself, how could they have found that god damn password?

Well, your keyboard, logitech, whatever, latest model, all the new keyboards; have been keylogging you. They have a so called micro storage drive, enough storage to log your last 10,000 characters you have typed lastly on your keyboard. And it replaces them with new ones in a loop. You woke up this morning, you turn on your computer/laptop, keyboard powers on, immediately it starts logging, you enter your 120 character long password. You go on to do your daily shit. You hear a knock. You have feds jumping at you. Fuck.

That's what I made up. But let's be serious now; how sure are you that your keyboard is not logging what you write and storing it somewhere internally in your keyboard, and you have no idea where? Or if it's even doing that.

We can't really stop this tracking. Unless you make your own, very primitive keyboard. Or if you decide live on a forest and build houses of earth, dirt, soil and clay. But even then, you have satellites orbiting from the above.

Being tracked is not necessarily a bad thing. And there's so many of us; they won't keep track of us individually, we are tracked in masses and converted into statistics. But if you are a target. You are probably doomed.

I think there are probably ways to verify if peripherals like keyboards or mice are doing logging as some type of information would need to be sent through the network. 

As far as phone goes, the Librem 5 with PureOS aims to solve the issue of privacy on mobile devices:

Use only linux in your main pc, anything shady inside a vm and a vpn, buy a used 2/3 y/o phone and de-google it, install adguard on your router. This will cover you 99%.

I would honestly recommend that you get a brain control as soon as possible, or stop taking drugs. Cheers
