  • Graphene allows for fingerprint and second factor pin unlock, which is what I use. I mostly do that for cops, though, since in the US you can be legally compelled to unlock your phone with biometrics but not pin.

    Wouldn’t stop someone from torturing you to unlock your device, but that’s what a duress pin is for ;) (they may kill you once your phone wipes but at least they wouldn’t have your data)
















  • I doubt that, to be honest. The supplies to make the items will also go up in price, and the US simply doesn’t have the industrial power and cheap labor that other countries have to make them. GOP voters think that somehow it’ll make all things cheaper (which actually would be a bad thing, deflation isn’t a good sign for the economy), but the price of everything is about to skyrocket.

    That’s not to mention that the few suppliers that are 100% US based would just crank up their prices anyway, because they can.

    Personally, and not having much experience in economics, I think prices will skyrocket, people will stop buying things, and then that will cause huge amounts of deflation, bringing the US right into a deep recession. I mean, my partner and friends have already stopped spending as much, and that was before today. It’s only going to get worse.
