Okay but suppose you managed to turn off the phone before they seize it, how does the unlocked bootloader matter? LineageOS use encryption

Isn’t most people running linux with secure-boot off anyways? But a turned-off fde encrypted linux computer is still considered secure?

So here are the senarios I’ve come up with:

1. Phone is on latest security updates
2. Latest security update for LineageOS itself but outdated firmware (like the firmware code that only the manufacturer can patch)
3. Outdated Lineage OS, but the phone is in “Before First Unlock” mode (and assuming they didn’t manage to send you a Pegasus beforehand)

Because at least bitcoin has a useful purpose (hiding money the government)

Not to praise samsung or anything, but OneUI could already do this for the past year…

There are billions of comparatively clueless users

It’s worse than simply “doesn’t bother with customizations”, people these days just watch short-form videos algorithmically fed to them with zero interaction. These are my parents, WeChat short-videos, on loud speakers in the livingroom. You can hear it upstairs. Also, there are occasional horizontal videos they watch in portrait mode. The fuck? Who watches a landscape video in portait? 🤣

Boomers and Gen Alpha are actually quite similar (well my parents aren’t “boomers”, but they have boomer mindset)

“Please select the logos in order”

displays TWRP Logo, Lineage OS Logo, Nova Launcher Logo, and Fdroid Logo

no explanations or instructions

“Please complete this within 5 seconds”

“Please correctly tap the TWRP Logo within 1 second”

shows a bunch of random symbols spread out on the screen

There’s no way a granma would be quick enough to get to it.

“Absolutely not. Our new “protest permit” requirements simply means only authorized protests are permitted, everyone else go to the Gulag”

I understand the dislike for the US, but I think it’s disingenuous to suggest that there aren’t any other countries just as bad as the current admin, if not worse.

Half of the countries in the world are horrible places to live. Actually it might be more than half, but you get the idea.

I mean a “small crack” is a big deal tho. Even if it was a pixel, that “small crack” would’ve ruing the IP rating.

But unlike a $500 pixel, the Moto G 5G 2024 only $140 so you could just easily get a replacement.

Did you drop it, or are you saying its motorola’s fault?

Meshtastic lol.

Or ham radios, or use a bright light to send morse code (using on/off flashes)

Use One Time Pad to encrypt the text.

Return to Ham Radios and Morse code, with One Time Pad layered on top of it for encryption

Bootloader is for defence against Evil Maid, and Afaik, ICE is just gonna snatch you, not do a “Evil Maid” attack, so just get it rebooted before you get taken and they shouldn’t even be able to decrypt it since its BFU. (You’ll need a long password/passphrase tho since PIN Limits can be bypassed because bootloader is unlocked)

Edit: Also reboot your phone before going to sleep in case you get raided midnight.

Lol this is old news brah 😅

Still waiting my Moto G 5G 2024 to have the “Allow OEM Unlocking” option to become un-greyed… it’s currently day 2/7 I think?

(supposedly it takes 7 days after being connected to the internet, even tho I already got the unlock code… 🤷‍♂️)
