Guarantee? You'd have to open it up and disable the cellular radio. The OS can override any settings you make.

I would just turn off media uploads entirely. It's not worth the risk or disk space.

Ballots are counted by ones. There's nothing to round, you're just gullible.

Yes, Radarr and the rest of the *arr stack.

When the government does it, it's not illegal.

I'm sure the CFAA has an explicit exception for law enforcement anyway. Laws always do.

Most attacks are done offline. If they clone the encrypted partition, they can brute-force as fast as they want. Pin lockouts can't protect against that.

Yes. This is neither news nor an article. Report it.

No. Even if a house is unlocked, the fourth amendment guarantees "the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures".

What constitutes "unreasonable", is of course, up to a judge.

If a cop can look in your window from the porch and see a meth lab, yeah, they're going to come back with a warrant, mostly because they can't just pick up the house and take it to evidence. If your phone is lying unlocked, and they see something obviously criminal on the screen, they're going to take it right then and there.

How does it work for stuff like bank apps? Do they freak out about it?

And does it require unlocking the bootloader? I prefer to keep mine locked if possible.

Or even if they've seized it unlawfully. Or if it's been stolen by a regular thief, a cybercriminal, the mafia, or a cartel.

To confiscate anything, unless it's lying openly, you need a warrant.

If a cop sees an unlocked phone with evidence of a crime on it, that doesn't need a warrant. If it's locked and they only have the suspicion of evidence, they need a warrant. Same as with entering a building or drilling a safe.

It does not. I don't have it on my Pixel 6. From other people's comments, it sounds like Samsung and other OEMs have added their version, though.
