Don't see why this was removed. Though it does go right back to OP's victim mentality.
Good point about root exploit. It's a potential.
Thing is, every Linux server and windows box suffers the same risk... But we don't hear "the sky is falling" about those... Because it's considered a measured risk and security is layered. As it should be.
Hell, people still run windows laptops unencrypted today - which is far worse than an unlocked bootloader on Android.
Why am I not surprised.
The FDA is exactly the opposite of what it was mandated for.
Guess a bunch of people like to see CA dictate to half of all other states.
Authoritarian much?
Hahaha
Hour of cardio? Maybe 2!😲
Lol, there's a name for "doing it but I really don't/shouldn't be".
I'm kinda relieved. I too was spending far too much time there. Got a new start here, thing I'm gonna "curate" (ugh, hate that word) my feed to just useful stuff. Block news, politics, emotional tugs, etc. Just "how does this work" kinda stuff.
Thanks for finding which paper it was... I have a copy but didn't feel like finding it and finding the right paper. Call me lazy 🤷♂️
And in the end, they codified what they saw as a natural, inborn, individual right. That wasn't by accident - Jefferson was very intentional in the words he chose (and they argued over, properly). Knowing the language had to be clear and concise, this is what resulted. It's pretty clear if you've read anything from 1600 onward.
Some of how the writing of the time (and place, Britain) flows is, I suspect, partly an influence of French language that some also knew - "twenty and four years" is clear French construction, not English at all. Keeping in mind that before Shakespeare, the "English language" such as it was, was considered beneath "proper" Brits. Shakespeare marks the beginning of that change, so the French language influence carried on for a long time among the upper classes as a distinction.
It's pretty interesting to see this same kind of complex construction (from our perspective) in period writings, but also in many science papers today, where complex ideas are strung together in paragraph-long sentences in an attempt to capture the detail and nuance. Medical journals are particularly guilty of this.
From what I've read, that doesn't really work - you'd need the encryption key, not the pin/password, because of how the encryption platform works.
Again, it's been a while, and this isn't my field. I just remember being properly surprised at how little I understood - that the pin/password are merely keys to accessing the encryption key, and it's all tied together in validating during hoot. Like you can't image the system and drop it in another phone if it's been encrypted, even if you have the pin - the encryption system on the different hardware would calculate things incorrectly (I did this once, dropped an encrypted image on a duplicate phone. That was fun trying to figure out why it wouldn't work).
There's more to the puzzle that's frankly above my pay grade, but last time I read about how to get into an encrypted phone, (even boot unlocked) required the expertise and tools of certain types of folks. Not your average "haxxor".
Granted, that expertise and those tools are getting closer to us every day...
Thanks for doing the leg work, I wasn't sure where to start and figured I'd end up down a rabbit hole...too easily distracted!
Hmm, maybe it's a state level thing then?
Thanks for the info, gonna have to look into it.
Right?
Filth. Vermin. How many other people did they screw over under the badge?
I'm fine with longer. 20 sounds good.
Plus massive fines, like 5x what they stole, paid to the victims.
Vile garbage.
Niiice. Lol.
Pill form doesn't do Jack shit either.
Pseudoephedrine works like a charm though.
Fortunately I've been stocking up, since you can only buy one damn box a month.
Bastards.
It requires a flashed rom with a valid (key signature? Crap, forget what it's called).
If you flash an unsigned kernel and try to boot lock, it'll brick.
I get from an absolute security perspective why this is deemed important, I just feel there's a bit too much focus on it, as if an unlocked bootloader is really that insecure. It would still take tremendous effort to get the encryption key for storage, so it's pretty effectively secure still.
Starlink satellites deorbit on their own. What else is SpaceX leaving in orbit? (Serious question, maybe there are small components the launch systems lose?)
I'd say well-maintained and prepared for use. As in tools need be well-maintained to be useful.
Yawn, this ignorant trope again. Go learn to read 17th and 18th century prose.
