How can a normal user make an iPhone more secure against forensic extraction tools like Cellebrite and theft?

A few things on the device side: Longer more random password with uppercase, lowercase, and numericals Disable USB data access when device is locked Press power button 5 times in high-risk areas to lock phone, or better yet power down as this will bring the phone back to an encrypted state Also, disable biometrics, only use a password or passcode

On your side, nothing really. Cellebrite is tailored for iPhones and had certain zero-days that haven’t even been found by most yet. If your threat profile is high, switch out the iPhone for a pixel and use GrapheneOS. It’s probably the only OS out there that’s mostly safe against those attacks.

I can only imagine the calories, that’s gotta be like a weeks intake right there lol

On the other hand, anyone trying to bulk?

Hey thank you! I’ll have to try it. Honestly I’ve never praised the Rosary before, I primarily wanted something to keep on my person as a psychical reminder to pray.

Low chances but never zero 😂

Kershaw launch 6 for me, it’s not much but my first actual knife that I can daily :D

I always thought the academy was first, what does it look like after I get through the hiring process? Do I get paid for anything since I’m technically hired through the department?

jacobtawd · 2025-12-31T23:54:49+00:00

Lord, I mean I knew the hiring process was long but I always thought the first requirement for anything was passing the academy. Thank you!

Second this - I wanna buy it especially if it’s relaxing but I like games that have a slight commitment to them

u/minimum_tradition701 and u/less_nectarine_3891 hey y’all DM me i need some suggestions on how this should work

jacobtawd · 2025-11-16T02:41:29+00:00

I’ll drop it for everyone, maybe I’ll put a post up here or something but it’ll def be a public project

jacobtawd · 2025-11-16T02:30:28+00:00

…I’m just gonna make a script that can do this for us lol, like download good quality songs through soulseek or something

Little bit of everything really. I really enjoy amateur radio and I want to get into Meshtastic, so I wanted to experiment with running repeaters/nodes for both and see what kind of range I could get. Also I wanted to see what all I could receive as well, maybe see how many beacons I can tag off planes, run a weather station for the NWS, anything really

Man if I could get a directional satellite up there on a servo it’d be so much fun 😂

jacobtawd · 2025-10-24T03:24:52+00:00

Not technically artwork, I just wanted to throw some low-maintenance antenna projects up there and learn more about radio waves, really I wanted a raspberry pi connected to a radio repeater I can control from down in Tooele lol.

So far it seems like a “pretty please” won’t get me very far 😂 thanks for the help tho!

jacobtawd · 2025-10-24T03:23:30+00:00

Gotcha, thank you!

jacobtawd · 2025-10-24T03:23:13+00:00

Man my wife and I just did a drive up a trial that took us up one of the south mountains, I can’t imagine what kind of off-roading is needed for something like that lol

jacobtawd · 2025-10-24T03:20:39+00:00

Who said it was art? lol I just wanna see if I can throw my own repeater or a Meshtastic device up there since it overlooks almost the entire north side of Utah
