Figured out a way to make the fingerprint sensor on my old android unusable without physical damage. https://www.zdnet.com/article/android-and-ios-devices-impacted-by-new-sensor-calibration-attack/
Very excited for the Librem 5 when it comes out!
No rush to the team making the Librem 5, they have been so good about updates and getting things right!
@nickh Nice. I used to use double tap on the screen. But in my pocket, etc. Keeps turning the screen on, etc. So switched that off again.
@pkimpton I can't do the double tap either, with little ones around. Saw you pre-ordered too! Very exciting times!
Also considering pre-ordering the PinePhone, as a back up. I see myself loading a few operating systems on it for fun (much like I do/did with android). I just can't justify having two phones on pre-order at the same time.
As a side note, first change would be using an encrypted MicroSD as the /home dir and setting up a second OS via dual boot.
@nickh I'm saving up for this as well as a Raspberry Pi so I can ditch Dropbox when my plan comes to an end same with Google Drive. https://pyra-handheld.com/boards/pages/pyra/
@pkimpton WOW I have not seen that device before! That just made it to my possible future devices list!
@nickh been eyeballing it for awhile. So now that I have a weekly paying job. I'll be able set aside some money weekly for it and pay off some debts.
@pkimpton same here, only used it as a power button. I found that if I load the old firmware/radio on this phone, it got better signal in my area and the fingerprint senor does even log (logcat) or register. Ultimate "feature not a bug" moment for me!
