Usually, organizations would want to manage all of then from a single interface and keep the devices locked down. Chromebooks usually won’t allow you to tamper with the OS in any way. (not easily, anyways)

I mean, you can’t have kids playing video games on a school-issued laptop in the back of the classroom, right?

Plus, only a large corporation could even provide the device support like repairs and stuff. Unless small companies can manage to provide support for schools around the country (or even the world, depending on how large they want to expand), for the mean time, its seems like Chromebooks have won. 🤷‍♂️

more like a rap sheet

Don’t have anything political or religious stuff on your phone.

Encrypt and upload those stuff to a Non-US cloud account, then delete them all from your phone. If you want to be extra safe, after you upload all the sensitive materials to a cloud account, make a separate back up of you non-sensitive data, then wipe your phone and then restore. Any traces of sensitive political stuff should be gone, since modern phones would delete the encryption key tied to the old data. Make it look as “normal” as possible. Keep your photos on their, pets, family photos, everything you’re fine with the government seeing (so, nothing political).

And make sure you have your documents, take photos of all of them and back up to cloud. If you were born outisde of the US, the burdon of proof of Citizenship apparantly lies on the claimant. Even if you were born in the US, still have documents ready.

If its non-essential travel, like tourism, I’d suggest just not cross the US border (neither in or out) until times are safer. I’d only consider exiting the US border if you are planning leaving permanently, otherwise, just don’t cross the border.

There are plenty of places within the country that you can visit without getting caught uo with the border shenanigans. (But please do not travel to a republican jurisdiction)

I’m this close to quitting my job so I don’t have to go.

So, this is work travel? Oof, good luck. Have your documents ready and you should be fine.

Act nice, Don’t argue with the border agents, you can’t win a confrontaton with them. If anything goes wrong, your only chance to win is in court (and hopefully, the rule of law hasn’t completely collapsed)

TLDR: Just delete all sensitive data and you can go ahead and consent to searches without worrying, they won’t be finding anything.

BFU and AFU doesn’t matter if the authorites don’t obey laws.

You can refuse all you want, they’ll just jail you for refusing.

The UK already jail people for refusing to unlock their devices. Now with a president of the US who does not respect the rule of law, the same, or worse, will happen.

Just don’t have anything political on your phone, let them search all they want, there’s nothing there.

Keep any such materials on a Non-US cloud account, in encrypted format, without any personally identifiable information on that account. Hopefully you access them through VPN/Tor to make it difficult for them to determine the existence of such accounts.

The Microsoft edge browser has a read to me mode

Text to speech vs an actual human professional reading it is like night and day.

audiobookbay[dot]is right on the megathread/wiki

I refreshed Tor circuit 3 times, same result.

Using ProtonVPN (paid) have the same result.

I’m not gonna attempt it on my real IP for obvious reasons.

I think its fine either way, it’s not like a .mp3 file has a high malware threat. (But I definitely would not run any .exe .apks from an unsecured connection tho.)

Oh well, the protagonists hit the goons in the head, then spent 10 minutes hacking into the systems, I guess they are all dead.

But don’t worry tho, the actual mastermind will always get spared. 🙃

What about getting zapped by electricity?

Is that a death by eletrocution? Or is that just like getting tazed?

Knocking someone in the head is apparantly equivalent to anesthesia in the media

Lol I saw the https error and I just assumed the site was a dead link.

Why do they not have https? Isn’t Let’s Encrypt free? 🤔

But anyways, I think I found them, its torrenting now.

Thanks!

Schrodinger’s Moral Event Horizon

Its less of an actual advice thing its more like just seeking validation. They were probably gonna do what they planned on doing anyways.

Yay.

India gets to experience their own version of the “Great Firewall”

Isn’t the future just great? Every country gets their own “intranet” 🙃

/s obviously

I mean… you do know someone can just take a screenshot, right?

And even if you use the Android thing that blocks screenshots, they can still take a photo with another phone.

You need to trust the other person for there to be any “privacy”.

Wanna go to a place worse than hell? Because that’s how you get to 十八层地狱 (-18th level of Hell)

So, Mr. Yen, are you still sympathetic to the republicans, who have a disdain for the same courts that gave you a win?

Or is your head burried so deep in your particle accelerator you don’t even have any clue about politics?

Dude thinks he knows everything because he has a PhD in Physics, literally out of touch with the politics that anyone doing 5 minutes of web searching can understand.

To be fair, if microsoft didnt automatically backup the keys, a simple BIOS/UEFI setting change, or windows update could trip the Secure Boot settings, which would clear all the TPM keys from the system, which means the sysyem would prompt you for the recovery key. I think people value being able retain access to their data over encryption. And to Microsoft’s credit, its not exactly a secret, they literally tell you that the key will be uploaded.

You wake up tomorrow and now you now suddenly love Elon Musk

“Heil Tesla”, you say, as you put on your swasticar armband.

“Guys, I had the ephiphamy of my life while I was sleeping and… so I guess… White… Power?”

looks at mirror

“Hmm… what’s wrong my with skin?”
