    imo whilst it's the case that "the Feds cannot crack an off-the-shelf device like a new iphone huehuehue" resonates amongst a certain crowd - largely the crowd we walk in - you have to be quite sheltered to think that it'd be popular beyond these circles, esp when the FBI is choosing to pick this fight over homegrown Islamists deciding to pew pew whatever

    Yeah the choice of case with which to make an issue of it is not accidental.

    That said, we've already moved beyond this stage, in terms of device security. New designs already make the assumption that is possible the manufacturer has been compromised so deliberately put breaking into the phone beyond their reach.

    'tis always possible to legislate against such devices

    mandatory backdoor legislation does not have to be universally effective; it merely needs to be good enough to keep them away from consumer devices

    i'm not convinced such legislation would pass/be upheld given the current feelings towards surveillance

    I swear the FBI is just being lazy.

    Crack phone open.

    Extract hard drive.

    Copy the raw data.

    Load a copy up in a VM and when it locks, load a new copy.

    It's encrypted tho

    Right, I'm just saying

    if they haven't developed a comprehensive iphone vitrual machine and the ability to extract the raw data off of the drives and/or ROMs then it's their own damn fault.

    fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
    that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze

    I was going to hang out with my former roommate who is visiting DC tonight but trains were apparently not leaving South Station and now he's driving and will probably never arrive because rush hour. Sad times.

    ...although I guess that gives me time to play League after work...

    it's not a key though

    A key to a locked door is essentially what they are asking for. They want the key to the filing cabinet and right now anyone can tell them to just fuck right off instead of giving them the key, and there's little they can do in response but fuck right off. They are essentially looking for a skeleton key to all filling cabinets so that no one can tell them to fuck right off anymore.
