- matheusmoreira 5y agoOkay. It's right there on the title: "my script killed 10k phones". Do you have any reason to believe "killed" means anything lesser than "rendered completely useless, bricked"? Also, there's the fact the software "would lock the low-level features that allowed you to make calls". There is no reason to believe calls to emergency services were exempted. I don't really want to comment on the rest of the article. Actually, as one of the "poor sods from places like Peru and Chile" I do have quite a few things to say about the author's gross negligence and his endless rationalizations. I just don't want to get permabanned for saying them. Suffice it to say that negligence of this magnitude is actually a crime where I live.
- FDSGSG 5y ago>Do you have any reason to believe "killed" means anything lesser than "rendered completely useless, bricked" Yeah, because traditionally all the normal ways of locking phones still let 911 calls through. It should be fair to assume so unless stated otherwise.
