Awww, are the poor popo upset because they can't violate 4rth and 5th amendment rights willy nilly?

[–] shortwavesurfer@lemmy.zip 22 points 6 days ago

That's exactly why they're upset, and quite frankly, fuck them.

[–] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 36 points 6 days ago

That's a shame. 🙃

This should be a feature in every phone. At least on Samsungs you can schedule reboots but it's not as convenient as putting everything in full lockdown automatically if the phone hasn't been unlocked in 24 hours.

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 12 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I'd like to see more protections on that end, ie: auto-reboot if the SIM card is ejected, if not unlocked for X days, if network access is lost for X minutes, etc

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago

I would want auto reboot if a code you set isn't entered and then a cable capable of data transfer is connected.

GrapheneOS reboots once a day as a security measure.

As long as you dont turn that feature off it does. You can set it to restart if the device hasn't been unlocked for between 10 mins and 3 days.

Skill issue

There’s nothing listed on the Apple Support site about an automatic restart feature when there are no cellular networks nearby. I’m guessing they left the phone connected to a charger long enough to install a previously downloaded update.

When automatic updates are enabled, iPhone will coalesce the software update download with other download activity. The package will remain downloaded and install once the iPhone is connected to power, and remains powered on and locked for an extended period of time. The install initiates a reboot.

This is a better article with a link to the code. It has nothing to do with a software update (beyond being an unlisted feature of 18.1) and is based on an inactivity timer.

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

That’s great! I couldn’t find any mention of it on support.apple.com or on the iOS 18.1 details page.
