A U.S. citizen has asked a court to throw out the government's claim that he gave over a passcode to border authorities that wiped his phone's data, opening up fresh questions about a person's constitutional rights at the U.S. border.

    A reason to try grapheneos if you are technically inclined.

      I soooo want that feature, but less and less phones will even let you unlock your bootloader. Graphene OS doesn’t get to support many phones.

      It’s easy enough for anyone willing try. Grab any Pixel from the last few years, plug it in to a computer, and click buttons in your web browser on the GOS website and watch GOS get installed on your phone. The instructions hold your hand the whole way through.

          I paid $300 for a mint condition 9a about a month ago on Swappa. Obviously the price is lower for other conditions.

          I sold a 6a for like $50 recently. Here on lemmy, oddly enough. Those are still good.

          I know what the 10a costs, bought one a few weeks ago. Worth every penny.

          200€ used market if not even less. Look on grapheneOS website for compatible devices.
