Wait, why is this presented as a good thing?
Why would I want my phone to auto reboot without my intervention? Never mind that it’ll never make three days on a single charge even if I don’t touch it.
- alistairSH 2y agoIt’s pretty well spelled out in the article… The BFU state is more secure than AFU.

- recursive 2y agoYou're not wrong. Seems hard to blame on MS though.
- scarface_74 2y agoMaybe? Could Microsoft have a layer of third party customization between user space and kernel where MDM lives without crashing the operating system like CrowdStrike did?
- recursive 2y agoWell, that's a good question, but over my head. I'll settle for kind of blaming them a little bit.

- Aeolun 2y agoIf that is a good thing what does that imply about my activities (or what an utter failure your justice system is)?
- saagarjha 2y agoI guarantee you that regardless of where you live your justice system is abusing the same access.
- edoceo 2y agoNo implication, it's a standard feature. Whos justice system? Lots of countries represented on HN. Many with questionable systems.
- gruez 2y ago>or what an utter failure your justice system is Even if you somehow live in a jurisdiction with a perfect justice system, that doesn't mean everyone else is.

- crazygringo 2y agoIt's very clearly explained in the article.
- Aeolun 2y agoIt is not clear to me at all why the ‘benefits’ presented outweigh the negatives (which is _my_ device doing anything without me instructing it to). Even if you can turn it off, this is apparently enabled by default. Law enforcement keeping hold of my phone for 3 days is simply not a realistic problem for me. Coming back to an annoyingly locked phone after forgetting it for a weekend very much is. The chances of law enforcement wanting anything with it are low enough that dealing with an extra unlock is more likely to be an impactful issue, even considering the potential impact that law enforcement or others stealing it could have.
- wiseowise 2y ago> Law enforcement keeping hold of my phone for 3 days is simply not a realistic problem for me. That's what cops and spooks would like to have you think.
- andybak 2y agoThis is not not the question you originally asked. Indeed it's a much better question.
