- eszed 1y agoThat's interesting, but really broad. Does anyone have anything that goes into the technical details of these new techniques? I'm interested in these "£20k devices": what they do, how, and who makes, sells, and maintains them.

- joshstrange 1y ago> MPs have argued, for example, that Apple could easily undermine the business model of phone-snatchers by introducing a “kill switch”, but it won’t because of “strong commercial incentives”. MPs are stupid then. Which thankfully this article points out. Apple (and I assume Android) already allow for remote bricking/locking of your devices. Apple won't let you disable Find My or other security measures without your passcode and Apple has a way to disable turning off Find My if you aren't home/normal location (so if someone snatches your phone while you are out and they also shoulder-surfed your passcode they still can't disable it). I have no clue what "strong commercial incentives" these MPs are referring to but I assume it's just general (tech or otherwise) incompetency of elected officials.
