I haven’t done as much research on iPhones… does that put it back into a BFU state, or just not accept biometrics?
There is a difference if it doesn’t force it back into BFU state, not for say a patrol officer/agent on the field, but definitely if they’re trying to get into your phone later.
GrapheneOS also will restart after 18 hours without being unlocked by default, you can adjust this down to as little as 10 minutes or as long as 72 hours. A reboot forces a phone into the most secure Before First Unlock status. Biometrics do not work there.
A reminder if you restart your phone biometrics don’t work until you unlock it once with your code.
If you’re about to deal with police, turn off or restart your phone so it resets to a Before First Unlock state where your information is encrypted and biometrics do not work.
If your phone allows you to set an automatic restart, set that up.
GrapheneOS by default automatically reboots after 18 hours of not being successfully unlocked. Devices in the Before First Unlock state are effectively not able to be accessed by standard law enforcement solutions. It also lets you set a duress password that will immediately make the storage contents permanently inaccessible, delete the eSIM, and power off the device.
And build up like that is why you should limit artificial insecticides like that around your house as well. That build up happens to each animal up the food chain. Bug gets 1 insecticide, but the lizard eats a bunch of bugs. Lizard now has 100 insecticides, and gets eaten by a snake. Snake eats a dozen lizards, now we’re at 1200 insecticide. Owl eats a dozen snakes, 24000 insecticide in the owl.
Obviously this is simplified, but it gets the point across.
other than being cheap bastards
I mean the answer is right there.
That is the sole thing that guides all of American society now. It’s at the core of nearly every business, and definitely any business of size or note. Maximizing profits is the number 1 priority of the country now, above anything else.
Escalate to where? They are already executing US citizens in the street who haven’t done anything remotely illegal?
And not even receiving fake punishments to try and reassure the public that’s not what is actually happening.
Epstein was no idiot. Keeping some incriminating shit to use as leverage is smart scumbag 101.

A charge for trespassing usually requires they first be told to leave and advised not to return, usually by the police advising about it.
It’s returning after you’re been officially trespassed that means a possible charge.
Yeah, but a specific type that we know doesn’t kill us.
Can’t say the same about that pizza.
Except when they literally couldn’t.
A grand jury in Minnesota indicted Lemon and others on charges of conspiracy and interfering with the First Amendment rights of worshippers during the Jan. 18 protest at the Cities Church in St. Paul, where a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement official is a pastor.
That pisses me off to no end. The car knows how fast it is going, it has to show you. Just make the lights come on based on deceleration, regardless of how it happens. It doesn’t even need dedicated hardware. It’s just lazy coding and development.
That may actually do the opposite. Insurance functions by spreading the risk across all clients. If there are fewer people paying premiums, they raise rates to compensate.
The difference is we don’t have a way verify that… But the prison does.
The same way any vehicle doesn’t let people just drive off… a key. Either in the form of a key fob/key card… Or a phone key paired to the vehicle.
So like nearly every other existing robot on the market, from your home Roomba up to those restaurant delivery robots. Not really anything new here in either direction.
Not sure if you’re trying to argue that modern social media is a good thing… Because it really isn’t. All of these platforms are actively detrimental to our mental health and destabilizing society. All of them have their billionaire owners manipulating the algorithms to maximize what they want you to see and minimize opposing views, if not outright removing them (like Meta is doing with the ICE List currently).
To be honest, coming from a near-launch Tesla Model 3 into the current EV market… most alternatives available in the US suck for various reasons.
I had a Polestar 3, which was great, until the AC was inconsistent on the Driver side. Only had it for 45 days before it was in for Service at Volvo 150 miles away… And has been there since last April. Still paying on it every month and having to maintain insurance… I’m still trying to get it returned as a lemon via lawyers now nearly 9 months later. In the interim I went through several Volvo, Kia, Mercedes, and Hyundai EV rentals, and talking to a coworker who has an EV Mustang. All of them felt like EV afterthoughts made just so they could say they have EV options.
The American brands almost exclusively use the same base vehicles and even interiors as their non-EV options and thus there are arbitrary things that just don’t need to be there and make it feel like they’re just making a car to say they have one (which is exactly what they’re doing).
For instance, my biggest pet peeve is having a Start/Stop button as if the thing still had an engine. There’s no need to have it since the cars are on all the time anyway. Its just an unnecessary step both when getting in and leaving the car. And it artificially prevents you from interacting with the vehicle like rolling down windows or the roof cover while it’s “off”. It’s small, but just shows it wasn’t designed to be an EV, they just took the same shit from before and dropped an EV powertrain in and called it a day.
Several brands also use the same outsourced platform like GM’s Ultima platform. So every one of those vehicles feels the same regardless of the brand it’s under, or the slightly different exteriors. The interiors are nearly identical and use GM parts regardless of brand. The Honda Prologue that I got after my Model 3 while waiting to see about new offerings in a few years, doesn’t feel like a Honda at all. It drives and feels like a Chevy Blazer. Because it is.
The only EVs I’ve driven that actually felt like they took advantage of being an EV were from EV companies, no legacy automakers. Tesla, Polestar, Lucid, Rivian. Everyone else the vehicle felt like an afterthought, especially after driving a Tesla for nearly 5 years, and those were often at 1.5-2x the cost for fewer bells and whistles. My current Prologue purchased before the EV credits went away was almost the same cost as my Model 3 back in 2018, and it’s nowhere near the same quality or capability. And that’s saying something if you know Tesla quality.
Not exactly… It’s just complicated because they tried to throw everything at him.
The federal murder charge was dismissed. Which takes the death penalty off the table because there is no death penalty in New York State. There’s still other federal and state charges pending.
