Strong encryption you can already achieve yourself, just type 30 digit pin each and every time you unlock your device, shorter pins for encrypting ram loaded pin are a bunk and israelis can break pixels that were initially unlocked (Ability to prevent encryption to become enabled - #51 by throwaway69), this is not about this, this is about an accidental feature where currently with C2 and forgotten pin you can only send it back, doing 2fa validation by jolla on factory resetting such hw probably already happens, but you have people reselling their C2s, soon noone will have track of who owns which one (the OG orders), right now there are maybe 3-5 new owners of C2 not in jolla’s DB, being niche is actually working great for this scenario, as they can offer you to opt in (if you were the OG buyer) that they will not reflash if the C2 comes from unknown nigerian account and will consult with you what to do with it, costs nothing and adds a layer of security not iphone, not android offers (of course zero vs CIA/Mossad/FSB, but it’s not aimed at that) (people who experienced theft, might just want to say F you to thieves for a fiver/year, good luck average pickpocket hacking turkish device with few k devices total in EU)
edit: and inb4 NO I do not plan to opt-in into such service as I expect to break my C2 way too many times while hacking on it, if they do come back up for sale might consider it for a daily driver that is just for regular use and not for hacking, but whatever it’s neither here nor there
