>Have you ever taken picture of anything important with your phone, like a crime, or a car accident? Have you ever called 911 or sent money?

I don't compare my phone to a server (24x7) with 10000$ worth of data, but even if i do i would make a versioned backup every X minutes, especially before "updates".

But yes phones should have ecc too.



I do, because a picture of the criminal might be worth more than $10,000, or you might have to call an ambulance and your life is worth something


>I do, because a picture of the criminal might be worth more than $10,000, or you might have to call an ambulance and your life is worth something

He had the chance to have a good solution and decided it's not worth it, that's the difference.

>and your life is worth something

Restart your phone.


> Restart your phone.

Alright, next time my 80 year old grandoa is having a heart attack I am sure he will have time to wait for android to boot, then input the encryption key

Thats why i still keep a dumbass analogue phone wired to the socket - our industry is full of wankers and cant be trusted

Let's go an buy her a Mainframe and three redundant inet connections and power-lines, but don't try to sue intel because of your own stupidity to rely on a cellphone...alone!

If you trust your life to a cellphone.....your problem.

And just for your information...your cellphone is not a server nor reliable...keep that in mind, go climbing in mountains and you see the massive difference from your iphone to a rugged satellite-phone (with buttons), but even then, never ever trust a single device.
