    Yes, it's impossible to disable the disk encryption on iOS. If you don't set a passcode, the disk is still encrypted (but only with a per device key), this prevents recovery of dat…

    I've been party to discussions like this, I know how it goes. Once you're shoved in a small room indefinitely, all of your possessions and shoes taken so you don't kill yourself, a…

    I frequently see people with KitKat devices. Just because they aren't being sold by big parties now doesn't mean people don't have them, I can't make a global statement about Andro…

    The waiting line for immigration/customs is not the area I'm talking about, this area is where you go once you fail the initial screening. In some international airports like Sydne…

    At least on an iPhone, erased is erased. On android some versions use full disk encryption but many do not, it's a guess.

    All Apple devices are AES encrypted with a combination of a key on flash in the CPU, and a unique static key in the CPU core. "Erasing" the phone just removes the key, rendering th…

    The area you are frog marched into is strictly no devices allowed, if they see you with any electronics in your hand you will be pounced upon. This is very obviously because people…

    Option 1, why did you bring decoys? You should probably sit here in this cell for a bit while we work out what the fuck you're doing. Option 2, they can't stop you from entering bu…

    "Is this the phone you use on a day to day basis"- felony if you lie.

    We too have used Uberconference, I forget why we ditched that as well, might have been down to the cost of the thing. I actually quite liked it, the web application was solid and i…

    If two participants are in EU, the latency is awful. I don't get the impression they have multiple POPs.

    Zoom is consistently garbage for us. The latency is high, the audio quality is low, and the apps have a really terrible user experience.

    Misleading border guards with statements and behaviour like that is also a felony.

    Are you using a system to hide information from us? Answer in the negative and you just committed a felony.

    If they ask you "is there any hidden data on this device", you would have to respond in the affirmative. Lying to a border guard is a felony, there's no cute technical solution to …

    The documentation that comes when you are compelled to give over keys mentions that they will retain complete copies of any disks, drives, flash card, any piece of data until it is…

    Read the Snowden docs more closely, there's an express program for automatic identification of VPN traffic patterns.

    300Mb wifi, there's bathrooms, a kitchen, 24 hour access for about double the price (and comes with a fixed desk).

    Zoom is pretty awful, we have constant issues with audio quality.
