United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Not sure about Apple devices, but for Android there's FRP (factory reset protection). Basically, if an Android phone which has FRP enabled has at least one Google account signed in, after factory reset, the phone is locked unless it signs into one of the Google accounts previously in use.
I cannot find documents about FRP from Google, but here's one from Samsung, and I'm pretty sure it's not limited to Samsung.

I ran into this on my phone when I forgot the pin and tried to factory reset. However I know my Google password so it was quite simple, but I don't know how thieves get past this.
Its easy, I forgot my pin and found a Video in YouTube. But I took a different path and it worked. After that I installed GrapheneOS.
