Okay grandpa let’s get you to bed

It’s this meme, backpack hanging on for dear life by a strap. Should’ve reduced the size of whatever they superimposed tbh, covers the entire subject

Just going to preface this by saying I’m not a security expert.

Phones have 2 encryptions states BFU (Before First Unlock) and AFU (After First Unlock). Self-explantory I think; when you login to your phone after putting in your password the first time, your phone will go into AFU state.

In BFU, almost everything is encrypted. In AFU if you dump the same data you will basically get a lot more information because some of the data is now decrypted. That’s basically why you can access notifications, change settings around from your lock screen when your phone has been unlocked once but not the first time after reboot.

As for why PIN – I’m not American but apparently in US you can be compelled by law to unlock your phone via fingerprint but law enforcement cannot force you to enter a PIN. More contributing factors: theoretically you can spoof biometrics more easily (I mean, people leave fingerprints everywhere), and one last thing is as a convenience factor it will help you to not forget your PIN (also why your phone will ask to re-enter your PIN every now and then)

The pin part is for security, your device is encrypted on first boot until you put in your pin. If someone attempts to get in your phone even via connecting your phone to a PC they can’t because your phone is encrypted.

I’m on 2 lol

Google circle to search can be useful

People intrinsically know their some of their loved ones are going to die before them, that doesn’t mean they won’t cry when it happens.

He was one of my favourite, sad he’s fallen down so much. Either didn’t get or rejected the help he needed

Don’t forget the occasional anime OP/ED

This is a Facebook tier post but I’m in the process of changing jobs with a decent pay raise so it resonates with me.

Maybe vintage?

I mean in software terms it’s ancient. It’s also the last mainstream OS which was popular before phones became the defacto target device of choice for every new software application.

I don’t like that Windows 7 is old enough to unironically be called a classic.

And you had issues understanding the text?

Tfs is class

Sounds sweet, which country is it

Right? It’s insane.

Ngl seeing the American left wing bubble burst is wild and entertaining. I mean, I would never want Trump to be elected but people have gotten a huge reality check of what sort of online environment they were exposed to.

Hey Google, how do I award a comment Lemmy gold?
