Might be less secure, if you can’t relock the bootloader and/or you rooted it. But if they really want your data, they’ll get it, no matter what phone you use. They may not crack the encryption right away, but they’ll waste electricity trying to brute force a 1024 character password with strong encryption.
Unless you turn all Apple’s built in crap off, like iCloud, Location, and block all Apple servers on your router, and use a hot spot router with a firewall, and I guess use VoIP. Or use a SIM with only voice and texting. If you want data, you’ll need a hot spot that can block crap too.
But what’s the point in buying an expensive iPhone, if you have to block a bunch of crap on a separate device?
Apparently cheap Android phones have come a long way, I can browse the web, without it being painful now. And that’s using IronFox. Unless the site uses a shit ton of JavaScript, but I have the JIT JavaScript disabled, said it can be used to violate you. At least that’s true with a custom GSI ROM, a full custom ROM, could be even better.
Finally setup my local VPN on the new phone. Perhaps using KDE Connect to transfer files isn’t a great idea, it’s encrypted too. Failed to copy a file, so deleted all the music I copied to it, and making a big zip file. Still making the zip file, it’s on my Orange Pi 5. So it’s going over the network, since my laptop apparently doesn’t have a copy of my music.
I could use Round Sync – Rclone for Android, but I’m lazy. Also, Samba might be slow over a VPN anyways. What about LocalSend? Does it have encryption? Or can it be disabled? Couldn’t find a way to disable encryption with KDE Connect.
Encryption can be disabled with LocalSend. No need for it if using a local VPN. No idea if it’s faster, but don’t turn the screen off, it’ll fail apparently.
Maybe the caffeine thing will keep screen on.
Only bad thing with this ROM, is apparently my mom couldn’t hear me. And the iPhone was louder for what I heard too. Pretty sure it’s the ROM though. Too lazy to edit a fucking file to fix it.
I might be able to get the file from the stock ROM, and there’s a magisk package that you can replace their file with your file. But getting the file from the stock ROM is kind of a pain.
Over 60 MB/s with LocalSend on WiFi using a VPN. Guess WiFi got faster on Android phones too. Fast enough for me, using WiFi. Probably only USB 2.0 if you plug it in, so faster then that. Isn’t USB 2.0 40 MB/s?
Damn only 20% battery left apparently. Was trying to wait till bed time to plug it in. Didn’t plug it in before bed last night.
Nope, not faster then USB 2.0. Checked my upload speed, it’s around 2 MB/s or is it Mb/s? MB/s is right, so the app is a liar.
Says 200 MB/s or so, my Ethernet isn’t that fast.
