For Android: learn the hard reset combo for your phone, especially if you encrypt it.

After rebooting, pattern/PIN will be required to decrypt the phone. Biometrics won't work for this step. This is what graphene does for security, tries to keep the phone in a "before first unlock" state by rebooting on a timer. You can't even read anything over USB/ADB, it's scrambled until you unlock the phone.

The only drawback to just keeping your phone in this state is none of your apps are loaded, so no notifications/updates/processing at all.

Reposting as top level comment also: these are PWDIS drives: if you’re not using them somewhere with sata 3.2/3.3, you need to use an adapter for the power plug, or some tape, to block pins 1-3 (3.3v) as supplying it to these causes them to reset. Might be worth doing the taping anyway, if you’re using an enclosure or cage (where you can’t use the adapters) Just be aware.

2nd catch, behind the power on time: PWDIS drives: if you're not using them somewhere with sata 3.2/3.3, you need to use an adapter for the power plug, or some tape, to block pins 1-3 (3.3v) as supplying it to these causes them to reset.

The kicker to this sort of thing, is the pirated versions usually have the checks removed... and don't need internet.

Free speech is important in public spaces. Online, for the most part, isn't public, it's a network of privately owned systems... You're on someone else's computer, they can do whatever they want with the data you put there. Debate isn't permitted there if they say so (and did in this case) and you agreed to that so they would allow you access to their system. Whether it was "annoying" or not is immaterial. You broke the rules you agreed to. That's it really. You can talk about this literally anywhere but their systems.

I harbor no hate at all, just providing context for your disingenuously framed post. You are definitely a radically problematic case, considering your posts. I don't care what you discuss, but the owners of these systems do.

If I ran a forum, I would definitely want the ability to remove people from my system that are harassing others, by my definition, regardless of what yours may be.

Context is important, I can see why you're not including it and are trying to color it by explaining instead of linking.

They literally told you not to engage in moderation discussions after you did once, and you followed that up by tripling down and attacking the mods directly. Ban justified.

Then, (you even admit so) you "jump in" (a 6 month necro) and do it again,, bashing mods and the forum and the product, and discussing your moderation again, all in one post. 2nd ban justified.

They do mention that you have done the shipping thing, which is now hearsay from both sides to us users, and is immaterial to the other bannable offenses honestly.

I message the mods on Reddit every now and then, reminding them of the utterly crazy way they've been treating me

Muting justified.

Edit: found your reddit, with lots of posts in /r/Hungary, where framework doesn't ship, implying a rather large possibility there was "freight forwarding" in some manner in your case. Not to mention your literal "PSA" thread about freight forwarding, in which you "disclaim" it isn't about that and if we think so we're imagining it...
