- yjftsjthsd-h 7y agoMaking your phone a thin client makes you completely dependent on network; that's a significant tradeoff.
- packetlost 7y agoThis is a very, very, very bad idea. Just encrypt your phone with a strong passcode and backup regularly. Making your phone entirely dependent on a strong internet connection is a recipe for a bad time.
- AkihiroSuda 7y agoI agree that the phone should be encrypted (in conjunction with aind), but people are likely to set weak passcode like "1234" (or finger pattern) because they want to open email/phone/twitter/maps/payment apps in a few seconds. aind is expected to be used only for sensitive apps, with more strong passcode.
