Ask them if they need the pin at all. Screen change has nothing to do with pin aside from testing the screen at the end

Let's gooo!

I think it's actually an urban myth that they have some cosmic powers and super hidden abilities. They may have similar tools, but those are not magical. For example pulling geofencing data from google is nothing special, as is the Node B handoff data, sectors, correlation, blah blah blah Maybe for some non-technical folks it's special, but in reality it's possible to predict what they have and what they can do with it

It's not theoretical, there are other systems which use that data, and one of them is the starlink deanonymizer. I don't know how far the fog reveal is now contained, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's not contained at all. While Waze and few others claim they changed their metadata handling, I wouldn't jump to a conclusion that this completely eliminated Fog Reveal abilities.

Fog Reveal uses data from mobile ads, and other metadata from data brokers. It basically weaponizes ads. That's why your ad blocker is not only for not watching ads, it protects you from much more. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fog_Reveal

I don't know people, they are playing you like children. This attestation gives control away into google's hands. They will do the same as apple did with iphones in the uk and WILL USE IT AGAINST YOU. I could argue if apple didn't exploit that situation, yes. But THERE IS A FUCKING CLEAR EXAMPLE which is happening right fucking now, that they ARE USING ATTESTATION (in this case locked boottloaders) TO CONTROL WHAT PEOPLE CAN DO. What else has to happen so people can fucking understand this?

A very unpopular opinion: if they can age block young people, why not block old people? It sounds wrong right?

How will they connect? In-head code execution does not exist yet. And people agreed to use locked devices like iphones which apple just right now started controlling 🫠 Maybe at least lets try to save x86 and risc-v from the same fate and don't allow for open systems like linux to be excluded?

That's why I'm trying to explain all the time, how bad it is and which part they use as a weapon. Currently they weaponised hardware with locked bootloaders. Other hardware is impossible to control in such way. Any app can be patched on a normal non-locked hardware. So I repeat my warning, that people will shoot themselves in the knees if we wont stop or slow down adoption of devices with locked bootloaders (or other hardware attestation) Situation is bad, and I think it's time to start reaching for some heavy-duty "solutions" and lift even more moral and/or legal restrictions. This is called escalation.

A very dark vision, darker than my predictions. Our fight matters, even if it will only slow it down. That is still something. Let's not leave a digital slavery world for the next generation. This is my goal at least.
