  Hmm, this is interesting, it looks like if it was a multiboot solution

  Theft Detection Lock is a powerful new feature that uses Google AI to sense if someone snatches your phone from your hand and tries to run, bike or drive away. If a common motion associated with theft is detected, your phone screen quickly locks – which helps keep thieves from easily accessing your data.

  Why would we need AI for that? That just makes the function unpredictable. There must be a real solution to detecting this.

  While I agree with you, the first step for user centric Android flavors regarding security is to support relocking the bootloader, with a custom (preferably the user’s own) digital signature. As long as we dont have that, an attacker could flash or just boot a custom bootloader through fastboot that does its own thing.

  However that doesn’t really depend on Android system developers, I think, as the problem arises from the inferiority of almost every phone’s bootloader (chain), and probably that can only be reasonably solved by device manufacturers, because as I understand, bootloaders do a lot of heavily device specific things, so there cant really be a common (primary) bootloader, and making one for each phone is a lot of work that also involves lots of reverse engineering, and maybe the early bootloaders cant even be overwritten on some phones…

  Not because of Biden, but to me threads blocking is a positive. I hope instances won’t undo their decision.

  It’s also something if it only supports that in software, with you needing to refill the paper once more.

  I don’t want to be that guy, but if they really want to be tracking prints, black and white printing does not need to make it impossible. There’s other ways to code information.

  It does nothing, how can it be heavier than an actual Linux Distribution?

  Are you sure about that? Data mining, even to the extents that take toll on user experience, is a common thing in consumer electronics
