they’re gonna use this case as pretext to ban graphene os

200€ used market if not even less. Look on grapheneOS website for compatible devices.

I paid $300 for a mint condition 9a about a month ago on Swappa. Obviously the price is lower for other conditions.

Eos is not GrapheneOS

FYI if you are using GrapheneOS with the duress password, you can natively backup your phone. Its in settings.

I know what the 10a costs, bought one a few weeks ago. Worth every penny.

To step it up even further, if using a duress pin, stick it on a note inside your phone case. Don't say a goddamn word aside from asking for a lawyer, and when they inevitably find the written code and try it out, that's entirely on them.

I sold a 6a for like $50 recently. Here on lemmy, oddly enough. Those are still good.

wow!
What community do you sell at?

GrapheneOS also has options to turn off USB port so that authorities plugging in devices to try to bypass phone lock can't be exploited. And user needs to supply password to change the USB options.

I soooo want that feature, but less and less phones will even let you unlock your bootloader. Graphene OS doesn't get to support many phones.

that doesn't work if they clone it

Even on iOS, you can disable biometrics by entering the power/SOS menu. Just hold the lock button and volume down for like two seconds, and biometrics are now disabled until the passcode is entered.

Worth noting that this doesn’t actually re-encrypt the device. The device boots in an encrypted state, and entering the passcode allows the phone to unencrypt itself to function. But disabling the biometrics doesn’t re-encrypt the device. You would need to reboot to accomplish that. But if you’re able to access the power menu, you’re probably able to hit the “Power Off” option too.

I only make the distinction because cops have started imaging devices after confiscating them. If they manage to image your device while it’s unencrypted, they can take their time with whatever new exploit/bypass is discovered in the future. But if the device is encrypted when they image it, they’d only get an encrypted data blob and would need to actually break the encryption instead of being able to use a passcode bypass method.

iOS actually has a hidden “reboot if inactive after a little while” feature, specifically to re-encrypt an idle device. Most users only encounter it when they wake up in the morning and have to enter their passcode. But the point is that cops usually process devices in batches, so it usually takes them at least a few hours to get to your device. So if the device has been idle for a while, it will quietly reboot to encrypt itself. This also helps protect against future passcode bypasses that may be discovered, because an attacker would only get the encrypted data blob if they bypass the code on an encrypted device.

Citizen enforces his own right to the Fourth Amendment and is prosecuted by the government for not letting them try to find incriminating evidence on him. For something. Maybe. Because he looks suspicious.

I hope that lawyer gets it thrown out. I'm not holding my breath. We've gone so far into fascism I'm not sure it'll take anything less than violence to end it.

Sheep will always be sheep.

They have a point though. Technically from what I've read just living near an airport would give ICE the authority to search your phone and anything else you might be carrying if it's within a certain mile radius. Even if you aren't using the port of entry (airport for instance). Regardless of whether or not they have any other form of probable cause.

I don't understand how others don't understand that. Because it's a hell of a conclusion to come to.

Just say "it's not my birthday, so don't try my birthday"

Lmao, the edited comment

Unfortunately, the 4th is pretty well destroyed at the border. And within 100 miles of the border.

Oh 100%. I was just being a lighthearted goober about it. Lol.
