GrapheneOS on Nostr: This is far superior to the standard USB toggle added in Android 12 to the USB HAL ...
This is far superior to the standard USB toggle added in Android 12 to the USB HAL and device admin API. That only allows disabling USB at a high level and leaves all the low-level kernel USB driver/protocol and firmware attack surface enabled. It's also simply either on or off.
