    But, to wipe a computer, you have to delete, then write new information over it. Deleting just deletes the references or whatever to the information.

      Factory reset - you can tie the phone to a blank cloud account easily, then switch back to your main cloud account with another factory reset when you are home and safe. Just an option for people who want to keep their device for the trip. Usually your main phone will have a really good camera and other capabilities burners don’t.

        I would not be so sure about that now a days. I bet the government(s) have backdoors to a lot of this. You heard it here first ish. So when it comes out, I do require you to say, that asshole online was right.

              man did you ever misread this guys reply. he was using your own term. you really should have took it with good humor rather than as rage bait. you said you required people to say that asshole is right and he came back that asshole is wrong. I totally would have written something like that. although I personally do not think encryption might not have back doors so not as much on this particular comment but I totally love riffing on a line from a comment to make another comment.

                While that could be, you could be full of israeli shit as well. So, you know, fuck off.
