I did not remember correctly, kind of. From AOSP, Android 7 and later use file-based encryption (FBE) rather then full-disk encryption (FDE). FBE is dependant on verified boot, which itself requires a locked bootloader.
Custom ROMs may have back ported FDE, modified FBE, or implemented their own encryption.
I feel like that one isn’t that hard to remember because “its” stands out as a common exception to the rule for possessive singular nouns.
“It’s” is a contraction of “it is” while “its” is possessive.
It is largely an anti-tampering measure. Without it you could have things injected into the system. For example, a stalker could install a hidden tracking program as a service and then return your phone without you knowing.
Iirc it’s also a prerequisite for full-disk encryption on modern android. So, without it your user data is available to be dumped in an unencrypted state. Most phone thieves are interested in reselling the phone, so they’re provably not going to go through the effort and risk damage to the phone just to dump encrypted data from the chips directly. However, if it’s just available unencrypted from fastboot why not dump it? They could get info that could be used to blackmail or scam you or people you know. Or they could just sell the data.
Is there a link to the code? I know I could probably search for it, but if you’re going post about the code being public you could at least include a link to it.
I doubt it will be climate change specifically. I think it will be the increasing political divisiveness. It’ll be a whole bunch of different issues, climate change included, that neither political party can agree on the reality of, much less how to address them that will continue to escalate tensions between the two major political parties until we reach the point of a second civil war.
I think America is less than 50 years away from that point. The path we’re on ends in war. Who knows if our country will survive.
Or the WD-40, can’t forget that.
Both of these read like the author is simultaneously looking down on both groups of developers in disgust and trying to represent them as some kind of idealized stereotype of a specific group of developers.
I think you mean here.
