    How does it behave for you then? Does it accept new devices while locked?

    Looks like there is a new system: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-cgDR4ORvY

    If you cant fully disable all usb devices then thats a problem tho, because it would only protect you if the device is locked.

    They also seem to be bundling this new Advanced Protection Mode with bad features like the disabling of non google app sources and AI call transcription to do “scam detection”

      Don’t have a USB device to plug into it at the moment; I’m traveling. I’ll check when I get home in a week and change though
