get the details on #GrapheneOS suggestion that Android should introduce an auto-reboot function to make it more difficult to exploit firmware flaws.

"GrapheneOS' auto-reboot system resets the device every 72 hours but as the OS maker comments, this is too long a period and they plan to reduce it.

GrapheneOS also notes that flight modes on smartphones that people assume reduce the attack surface often still allow data exchange via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, and USB Ethernet, so depending on the attack vector, it may not be an effective protection measure."
