  • Yes, this is good, however lockdown mode does NOT protect you against forensic extraction of your data, for example from the Cellebrite tool. Your phone has two states, BFU and AFU (before/after first unlock). To maximize your protection against your data being extracted, your phone needs to have not had its first unlock after being powered up. Lockdown mode does nothing here.

    So, use lockdown in general if you like, however, when going through customs or in a place where your phone may be confiscated, power it down fully. Don’t unlock it if you power it up, and don’t use biometric fingerprint or face unlock so you’re not forced to unlock it.








  • Unfortunately, those foot pedals are incredibly cheap in their construction. All plastic with a metal spring. Typically the plastic rod holding the upper piece to the lower piece is what breaks first. I’ve gone through many over the years using them as my push to talk button for various programs like teamspeak, mumble, and discord.

    It’s handy (or footy - ha! Dad joke) though to give yourself another key you can map to something other than your hands.
