Provided it's sound advice, I wonder if an OS setting could automate power down and back up at 3am once a week. Opt-in, preferably.

- 0xDEAFBEAD 2y agoI think a malicious rootkit could just show a fake power down / power up sequence.
- dawnerd 2y agoOr just disable it completely
- EasyMark 2y agoI suspect that maybe the most intrusive malware could prevent this or even fake it to the software, better to restart yourself
- whatindaheck 2y agoLooks like this can be done with Shortcuts.app on iOS.
- jamesponddotco 2y agoGrapheneOS[1] has that option in the security settings. I have mine set up so it automatically reboots the device if I haven't unlocked it in the last 8 hours. [1]: https://grapheneos.org/ https://grapheneos.org/
- yencabulator 2y agoThink of holding down the power key for some seconds as a Secure Attention Key that forces control of the device away from the exploit. Automatic reboot might catch some exploits, but the SAK and trusted boot after it gets (practically) all of them.
