Last time I sent a phone into repair, I wiped and reset it, presumably so that techs could test it properly (broken screen and digitizer). I wish I didn’t have to; but when you’re logged into everything, your bank is there too, and your phone is the second factor in a lot of things, damn it’s too much of a risk.
I wish phones could boot into some kind of field tech/diagnostics mode where all aspects of hardware could be tested as thoroughly as needed. Maybe there exists one and I’m just ignorant?

- WesolyKubeczek 5y agoI'm not trying to be smug here. Just saying that there were some circles of hell I wish I hadn't to go through. If the phone didn't even turn on enough to go into some DFU mode, I guess I'd be just as fucked. Just had an idea to get a burner phone, fill it with my own nudes and give it to repair. Let the perverts have nightmares for a while.
