A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

My phone my data. I'm not sure if factory reset deletes all data.
I keep my old phones, sometimes repurpose (PostmarketOS).
But batteries are becoming like a spicy pillow.
E.g. Galaxy S7: screen broken by swollen battery 🙏 .
If your phone is encrypted and you factory reset it I believe the encryption key is wiped so the data is gone (unless MI5 are really keen on spending a lot of time piecing it back together, I guess)
