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 data after an erase.

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, and had questions dumped on you, a lot of thes

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 Android devices the same I can about iOS ones

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 Sydney you will receive a $300 on the spot fine if you

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 the bulk flash storage completely useless. There

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 try to destroy evidence they have on their devices once the

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 but they can make you enter directly into a jail cel

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 it encourages ad-hoc meetings.

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.

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 this. They will, according to their own paper

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 no longer relevant (read, forever).
