Unlike the Titan sub...
Firefox Focus does work as an alternative.
Apple created a special system-level API for Safari Content Blockers. Apps like Firefox Focus, AdGuard, 1Blocker, Wipr can register filtering rules with Safari using this API. That’s why Focus can block ads/trackers inside Safari if you enable it under Safari
the horror.
paying thousands of dollars just to be forbidden to block ads.
There are countless free and paid options on iOS too
Firefox Focus, Brave
AdGuard Pro, $9.99 once and you can use any blocklist you want (you can just copypaste from uBlock Origin if you wish) and it works system-wide with Safari
etc
Would note that air isn't the only substance in a phone that compresses under 38 MPa. (Batteries come to mind.)
> Why isn't a cellphone filled with epoxy?
Anyway, I wasn't disagreeing, just reasoning a bit further.
Typically the limiting factor on your phone is the screen breaking, your battery life getting too short, wear and tear on components like buttons or the charging port, and factory defects. Epoxy isn't going to help with any of those. The only thing it would help with is exposure to water, but if other parts of your phone like your screen aren't water proof, what's the point?
Epoxy adds weight and manufacturing cost. It introduces design challenges as you need to balance the thermal expansion of the various parts. It's an extra step that can go wrong, and makes repair of other defects far more difficult. What benefit is there for the typical consumer that outweighs these costs?
Until they're sold as supplemental hard drives (cough Transcend Jetdrive cough). Then they'll fail if you even look at them strangely.

But it speaks more to Oceangstrs negligence that this situation even existed: why wasn't any potential encryption keys escrowed ashore to ensure they could be recovered later? This shouldn't have even been an issue.
> Somewhat disappointingly, the images and videos shared in the report were taken in the vicinity of the ROV shop at the Marine Institute, also in Newfoundland. The location was the logistical base for Titanic dive missions. No deep-sea shenanigans around the Titanic wreck were revealed.
Some key points:
1. The Camera+Card was encased in a separate enclosure made of titanium+sapphire, and did not seem to be exposed to extreme pressures.
2. The encryption was done via a variant of LUKS/dm-crypt, with the key stored on the ARM TrustZone NVRAM of a chip.
3. The recovery was done by transplanting the original chip onto a new working board. No manufacturer backdoors or other hidden mechanisms were used.
4. Interestingly, the camera vendor didn't seem to realize there was any encryption at all.

IIRC, the article stated that if the key(s) had been stored in the TrustZone then the data would have been irrecoverable.

Configure your systems so they are in the configuration that is less likely to cause random disruption in the field.

They might have forgot to remove or just didn't care.
