did u mean mitigate* ?
Fuck, that made no sense to me until I saw this comment.
No, they want to migrate from usb-based exploits, to audiojack-based ones
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.
im not aware of a device that can run graphene but its also cheap enough to be a burner.
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
I use wireless chargers, so my usb-c ports are tight tight tight
