GrapheneOS now supports a āduress passwordā. This function allows users to set a special password that deletes all data when entered. Once triggered, the deletion process does not require a restart and cannot be interrupted.
Nice, but this should be used with caution IMO.
In front of an official (
), if they understand what happened 
, this could cause legal troubles I guess.
I have no legal experience, but it sounds to me like you destroyed a possible evidence.
I donāt knowā¦
Depending on a country not doing so might cause you lifeā¦
Users should be careful regardless 
Sure! But in such a country maybe nuking your system so shamelessly could cost your life as well.
Either way, at least they have no data.
I think Ms. von der Leyen used to have one of these phones.
No evidence, no conviction, in certain states. 
Thatās the password you put in when your wife asks if she can see your phone.
Thatās a legitimate use case!!!
What Iād like to know is if this software is CIA-approved? 
I can just see it nowā¦cue the opening sequenceā¦
- Secret Agent opens his Secure Phone
- Discovers he does not run GrapheneOS
- Is interrogated by villainous agents of ChaosOS*
- Dies under āduressā
- End Credits

As expected, Microsoftās creepy move to spy on everything you do on your PC with Copilot+ Recall has backfired with widespread criticism over the potential privacy issues it could cause.
And, to add fuel to the fire, we now have a more disturbing development that could allow hackers to easily take advantage of a userās Recall data. This is thanks to some key weaknesses that were discovered by Kevin Beaumont, an experienced cybersecurity researcher.
In his detailed blog, Kevin found out that even though all the data is processed locally, when Azure AI automatically OCRs (extracts text from images) the userās screen, it is stored in an SQLite database in the userās folder under a new āCoreAIPlatformā folder inside āAppDataā.
That is where the problem lies, Microsoft is banking on the encryption already present on a userās device, and is of the belief that a malicious actor would need physical access to a userās device to compromise Recall data.
But, the thing is, all that data is stored in plain text and a simple InfoStealer Trojan could easily make short work of that, stealing all the information that Recall has collected, with the user being unaware of it.
the price you pay to be able to mind you own business, undisturbed by AI
LOL, so those idiots has just done twice the cost for exactly same spyware, including hardware levelā¦ 
Big 
move. FIGHT THE POWER
Truly a 
Canāt wait to hear that pedos start using this feature and then the police get pissy when we canāt recover anything
Twice the price to avoid disabling a feature? Smort
you do remember what microsoft thinks of ādisableā right?
ā¦ edge?
There are tools to remove it. AME does this perfectly well, as well as Atlas OS, Revi OS. I think itās a bunch of Powershell commands and registry edits.
