No, they want to migrate from usb-based exploits, to audiojack-based ones
Don't threaten me with a good time
Yeah that's a real significant attack vector these days.
Fuck, that made no sense to me until I saw this comment.
No they ment it's to migrate to wireless

Graphene can shut it off at the hardware level, or just allow charging. It's slick.
I highly recommend graphene.
And for anyone going to a protest to get a cheap burner and flash graphene, then leave your normal phone at home. You can swap phones on your plan pretty easily.
Alternatively, for the very paranoid, go set up a prepaid and anon line and move your device there. Pay cash for the card and set it up online at a public library.
Especially if you’re planning on a little civil disobedience.
Just a reminder, if police think something is about to go down, they’ll spoof the tower and collect device information… including things like phone numbers so if your suddenly changing behavior to go somewhere and do something the fascists dickfucks in office won’t like… best be paranoid.
A second device will still at least keep them from getting all your personal shit. And seriously, Don’t just turn off your normal phone. Leave it at home.
Just don't bring any device to a protest if you consider bringing a burner device.
there is something to be said about being connected to others. particularly for protests that move around or so you can let people know you're driving home etc vs locked up for bullshit.
it's also convenient as a form of souseveillance. Just remember pictures and video are evidence, that cuts both ways; especially in the face of cops being excessive.
Wouldn't bringing your car mean easy surveillance
Unless you happen to live fairly close… which is fairly not likely…. So you drive to a rally point or someplace near some transit (or with plausible deniability,) etc. to get in.
Or just conceal your plates and don’t drive something flashy,
Anyway, where are these protests americans are talking about? All I see are people complaining online while trump runs a ruckus in the oval office
protests are happening everywhere, in every state, though they're mostly small. the news isn't covering a lot of them because there's no rioters and the news can't push a narrative that people hate trump.
You can swap phones on your plan pretty easily.
Are sim cards not a think anymore?
Not really.
Most new phones use other identifiers. You might be able to buy very cheap prepaid phones or cards for them, but they’re going away from swappable sims.
For most carriers, if you occasionally want to swap to a different device it’s just a matter of going to your account online and swapping it (for example, travel. It’s safer to use a clean device rather than your normal phone. Both for border crossings and everything else.)
Quite literally not where I live. None of the carries here offer esim's.
(opps, wrong person,)
Hahahaha.
My country doesn't have protest problen. Mostly because it's all mostly old people that live here and just don't care anymore about anything.
Edit: lol
Did Florida secede and we didn't notice?
Seriously though, that sounds like not the worst place to live.
I'm talking about croatia my friend.
Definitely a better option than the former. All the beaches with none of the falling into the sea.
im not aware of a device that can run graphene but its also cheap enough to be a burner.

I was trying to figure out how graphene would achieve this. By smearing some on the pins? But then why graphene and not just graphite? And how do you keep the charging pins from being shorted?
and what happens at boot time? when graphene code is not yet running
I'm not an expert, but Graphene has before first unlock protections where your phone is encrypted until first unlock. So, if it's for some reason re-enabled during boot (I'm not sure that's the case), then your phone is already secure anyway.
God damn it now I think I'm going to have to do it. I'm going to have to get it.

More likely it's just accumulated some grime after all that time in your pocket
Yup, it's more often than not bellybutton lint buildup. Can be cleaned out carefully with a thin toothpick or plastic cocktail sword
I just changed the USB port of my Motorola because it was broken AF. I always had to tweak around for 5 minutes to get the cable stable enough for loading, it sucked. I bought the spare part for 17,90€ on eBay. It was a struggle removing the back cover, but now I have a mobile for another 2 years!
I had to change the USB port from my Oneplus 7, after 4 years of use. I changed the USB port, the battery and the back cover (seriously using glass for that...). Oneplus didn't sell spare parts for it anymore, I had to buy them from aliexpress.
One year later, the USB port died again, the back cover too, without dropping the phone...
I bought a fairphone after that. No more struggle to find spare parts, or with the back cover, I hope I'm fine for a looong time.
I often played with the thought of buying a fair phone, but in the end it's just too expensive for me. I usually buy used devices for about 150€ from eBay and flash a custom ROM to get rid of google. If I can use that phone for 3 years I am happy. This way I am doing something for the environment and do not support mining of critical minerals in Congo etc.
But yeah, apart from Fair phone almost all devices are very, very hard to repair on purpose, and you need a lot of tools and a but of luck ;)
I use wireless chargers, so my usb-c ports are tight tight tight
Migrating along with usb

Hey, any way I can get root on my android 9 phone un-unlockable boot loader since it didn't get updates 6 years?
