Hong Kong police can now demand phone or computer passwords from those who are suspected of breaching the wide-ranging National Security Law (NSL).

Those who refuse could face up to a year in jail and a fine of up to HK$100,000 ($12,700; £9,600), and individuals who provide “false or misleading information” could face up to three years in jail.

They’ve imaged your phone and can reset it.

How do you image a phone with no working USB port? Are they going to manually connect to flash chips on the PCB for everyone?

How do you charge and use a phone with no working USB port?

I guess maybe wireless charging?

Data lines are cut in hardware, can only charge

Just when I start getting the inkling to go back there because of how much I love it, I’m reminded how far it’s crumbled and is now just another city in China.

That’s cute that anyone still uses that term all things considered.
