If they're able to defeat your encryption with one it means your password was relatively easy to guess (combination of common words and/or sequential numbers - like "password1234".) With a strong enough password a 256 bit encryption key is nigh unbreakable by any method that will deliver results in your lifetime. I've played around with some of the software before. Elcomsoft works in several ways to get a password, like for iCloud it can pull a binary authentication token off the user's computer if they have the iCloud Control panel and use that to get the iCloud password without brute forcing it (if the person has two-factor authentication, it still needs access to the second trusted device or recovery key to break in and it can't get through Microsoft two-factor authentication currently).

With a strong enough password a 256 bit encryption key is nigh unbreakable by any method that will deliver results in your lifetime. That's why the iPhone is set to *not* trust computers by default now. You have manually tell it to trust the computer, and the phone has to be unlocked before you can do that. That tool has a serious chicken and egg problem now. And if you're paranoid (smart) you never hook the phone up to any of your own computers and set up trust. There's absolutely no need any longer. Just hook it up to charge if you need to, but don't trust the computer. That means no cached key. And it doesn't matter if you have the iCloud password, the device is encrypted with a device level key that's not stored in the iCloud keychain. And the iCloud backups are encrypted using that same key. If you're using a 4 digit PIN, well that one is on you. If you use a longer one with the fingerprint, just power off the phone before you hand it over (it's a quick and easy swipe). It will reject a fingerprint after a power cycle.

robodex posted:From a few pages ago, but these actually got pretty advanced in their hayday. I have a PS1 Gameshark Pro, which I believe is one of the few cheat devices released for consoles that you could actually do direct memory searches to make your own cheats. The PS1 I had didn't come with the serial port in the back, so I wound up buying the Gameshark CDX. I didn't know if it had that memory search option, since I always looked up codes on GameFAQs, et al. It made winning licenses for Gran Turismo and GT2 that much easier. I also had an Action Replay Max for my PS2, although most games I had already had their own cheat codes. I mainly used it to get cash and unlock cars on GT3 and GT4. eminkey2003 posted:Back in the 90s, my cousin had a humongous stereo like these. Does anyone use them anymore?

If the government had a way to break the actual algorithm they certainly wouldn't waste it on common criminals and pedophiles, much less put it in the hands of common law enforcement. If the government has that capability (it's highly doubtful they do) it would be used to break spy rings and foreign dispatches, and kept highly classified.

Somebody mentioned short distance FM for broadcasting across their property a couple of pages back. That reminds me, there's a Drive-In theater not far from me that broadcasts the movies audio that way. Drive-Ins are rad, BTW.

Yeah, I live close to the biggest (only?) drive-in in northern Europe, and that's how they do it. 3 screens, 3 FM channels, they play music and upcoming movies when they aren't showing anything. It's pretty fun when you've got a totally banging system in your car.

flosofl posted:I think it's still murky in the US. They also can't compel you if the fact that you know the safe combination is evidence that the safe is yours. Like, if it's known that you own the safe, and they suspect the safe is full of drugs, they can get a court order requiring you to divulge the combination. But if they have a safe full of drugs and they merely suspect that it's your safe, then compelling you to divulge the combination would violate your right against self-incrimination, because giving up the combination would prove that it's your safe. They'd need to establish via other evidence that doesn't come from you that it's your safe, first. Digital encryption methods have the additional benefit of hidden volumes (one password decrypts the hard drive so you can read your list of drug contacts and arms dealers, the other decrypts that same hard drive to show nothing but your embarrassing, but entirely legal, nunporn collection) or duress codes (you don't surrender your password, you surrender a code that when entered scrubs the data. You might go to jail for destruction of evidence but that's probably a lesser charge than what they were investigating you for).

Pilsner posted:Are you going to hurt me when I say that I recently threw this out, as it was left in my house by the previous owner? Nah, that's just a tuner and not worth much unless you're deeply into FM/AM radio. You could probably have gotten a couple hundred kroner on DBA for it, though. Now, had that been a receiver, it would have been another story altogether, and I would have been on my way to your address with a dull rusty knife.

1500quidporsche posted:I'll have to post pictures of my 70s Sansui Receiver/tuner tonight. what was really interesting to me was in the late 90s, sansui started popping up as a budget home/car audio brand, and no one in Australia that I knew of had ever heard of that brand before. It's not a revelation to me now as I researched it back then and I know it's an old Japanese brand, but interesting how they faded out of existence again from our market. There's a heap of 2nd hand stuff around from the 90s that people bought which are now orphans, but I don;t know of any older gear.

Yeah I had no clue they were actually a big market force in the 60s and 70s until I got mine and looked up the brand. They're kind of like Blaupunkt where if you told somebody that name now they'd have no clue what you're talking about, but they were practically an institution in car audio in the 80s. Crazy how fast you can fall.

Along those lines, someone was going crazy that Kmart and Sears were selling Nakamichi-branded speakers and headphones with an "They are the best!" However, I never heard of them until I saw them at Sears/Kmart. Is it similar to one of those things that they were at one time a sort of semi-premium brand that is now only that brand in name only, having its name used on products sort of like how there's a ton of Polaroid-branded electronics out there?

Oooooooooooooookay, stupid question time. What's the difference between a tuner and a receiver? As for Sansui, I have a super-early 90s Sansui (I don't know if it's a tuner or receiver) that's super nice. I've had it since new, and it just recently got relegated to garage stereo along with the big old Pioneer cabinet speakers it's been driving all these years.
