Every now and then I forget how much I hate whole #infosec. I haven't thought about extreme user-hostility of technology for some while now. But now I dropped my phone and broke its display.Fortunately, touch, wireless and wired connections still work.Unfortunately, that doesn't win me shit, because I can't do anything important with #Android even over #ADB if it's not rooted, because #security. All important apps black out when they detect the screen is being streamed/observed.

Also: I only achieved this much because of my lack of #security & #privacy maximalism: #Pebble set to auto-unlock phone when in range + operate #Tasker commands allowed me to gain access & confirm phone state. GoogleAssistant, which I never use, but didn't bother deleting, let me launch #AirDroid, which gave me screen mirroring over WLAN, which I could then use to enable USB debugging...Still doesn't help me with TOTP authenticator apps and bank, but at least I can get at everything else.

What's extra annoying: now I'm going to update from old #Android that had half the useful features disabled because #security to a new Android that has almost all of them disabled...

Pro-tip: #scrcpy, which connects to #Android phone via #ADB (wired or wireless), is able to bypass the bullshit "I'll black out the screen if I detect you're casting it" "protection". At least on Android 8, which is what my old phone is running.Thanks to that, I've managed to port over #TOTP authenticator apps to a new device.Further on lack of respect for #security: I've been saved here by having fingerprint unlocking, as the touch panel is slowly dying too, with ~60% of it working now.
