How did I guess that account’s age (5 months) based only on the writing style and the Lemmy instance?
Edit: oh right, because the account was created May 1st within hours of [email protected] and within days of others in the early May batch of his fleet additions including sanitation and laurenceofsuburbia
Agreed, I’m pretty used to security key unlocks and still wouldn’t want that friction on a personal device.
Also just for completeness, since I forgot to mention: enabling stolen device protection and findmy/mdm to enable remote wipe.
Disclaimer: I only use iPhones for security testing, so this is more from related literature rather than first-hand experience.
IIRC the hardening unattended reboot could offer is already covered better by options like disabling biometric unlock, security key 2FA, enabling lockdown mode, enabling advanced data protection, disabling iCloud, disabling USB accessories, and so forth. Also unattended reboot seems like an easy prank vector or foot gun to render a device permanently inaccessible (i.e., device always reboots immediately after pin entry) requiring recovery mode reset or restore to fix.
If similar to equivalent state regs, when access to customers residing in that market is gated by compliance and subject to lawsuits or ban, the first phase of business-side operations change is immediately setting up minimum compliance workflow like a special webpage coupled with countermeasures (like proof of residency; IP historically difficult in court but has been used successfully for state-specific age gating) and boundary testing cycles. With especially large markets, however, the overhead associated with maintaining multiple separate workflows fails the efficiency test and the workflows are merged, which is how everyone tends to benefit from pro-consumer laws like GDPR.
Nothing worth hitting. It’s an annoying botter who uses a fleet of semi-personned ban evasion alts that keeps getting banned for reposting incel content from R*****. This honesthenary account was in fact unknown to me before today but I’m adding it to my list.
