The pin part is for security, your device is encrypted on first boot until you put in your pin. If someone attempts to get in your phone even via connecting your phone to a PC they can’t because your phone is encrypted.

Fake news. These lads can definitely lift up to 5000 times their weight.
Using Chromium means sharing data with Google.
??? You retarded or something?
21·23 天前Yes, the government is going to get you by installing spyware in a game launcher that nobody uses. You won’t care a shit about or vet at code level any of the 200+ closed source games you will play in your life because they’re all fine in your fantasy land, but one game launcher is out to kidnap you.
Bro get a life, it’s not that serious. Evil app store lmao as if they’re out to murder you and your family
Exactly what I thought, even Google thinks so lmfao
No one dies in Dragonball anyway lol
About time
That’s like the most useless setting ever because nobody enforces the language while commenting
Nice that it’s on GP, can’t wait to start. Looks great
I installed Tiny Core Linux on an old ass netbook laptop on which even Windows 7 kinda lagged. Went CLI only, no DE and made the laptop thousand times more usable. I’ve basically repurposed that laptop as an external hard drive for things I don’t need backed up but good to have a backup of.
Goddamn libs responsible for everything wrong in this world 🤬
People intrinsically know their some of their loved ones are going to die before them, that doesn’t mean they won’t cry when it happens.
He was one of my favourite, sad he’s fallen down so much. Either didn’t get or rejected the help he needed
That’s rape horse from Berserk
Could just be inspect element tbh
Just going to preface this by saying I’m not a security expert.
Phones have 2 encryptions states BFU (Before First Unlock) and AFU (After First Unlock). Self-explantory I think; when you login to your phone after putting in your password the first time, your phone will go into AFU state.
In BFU, almost everything is encrypted. In AFU if you dump the same data you will basically get a lot more information because some of the data is now decrypted. That’s basically why you can access notifications, change settings around from your lock screen when your phone has been unlocked once but not the first time after reboot.
As for why PIN – I’m not American but apparently in US you can be compelled by law to unlock your phone via fingerprint but law enforcement cannot force you to enter a PIN. More contributing factors: theoretically you can spoof biometrics more easily (I mean, people leave fingerprints everywhere), and one last thing is as a convenience factor it will help you to not forget your PIN (also why your phone will ask to re-enter your PIN every now and then)
