Well apparently all it would need to do is be a generstive AI trained on the image of a cstslytic converter in order to ““steal”” them.

Is that not what sideloading is? A way over the safety rails?

Because making a power user take a more complicated path to achieve something is better than having an incopetent user brick their entire machine by accident?

Yeah exactly. Though i would personally say a bit more obfuscation is needed then a simple hidden switch.

Not corporate IT, but IT for home users, back in the days when things were much less locked down basically every computer i got access too was completely crawling with malware. Had tons of people lose all of their data including family photos and the like because they dowloaded something dodgy off limewire and their system just let them run it.

Why cant you guys understand that the vast vast majority of computer users are not technical? And as such need those safety rails in place to save them from their own ignorance?

they will learn how to not break their next one

Lmao

Anyone that makes this argumrnt needs to work in a public IT support role for at least a year.

Then you will understsnd why your average user should not be given unrestricted freedom on their device.

Have you people never worked in IT support? Like its all fair and good that you, a power user, dont want the OS to restrict you at all. But for your averrage person to be treated the same is just asking for disaster.

Theres no issue with sugarless beans, but baked beans is a recipe with beans and sugar. If you take the sugar out its not the same recipe.

Unfortunately amongst the unwashed masses of the British public this bill isnt actually particularly unpopular.

Because sometimes you put sugar in savoury stuff? Have you never had barbeque sauce before?

None of those are baked beans though.

Macbooks still have a headphone jack.

I just want them to make a true flagship phone. I personally wouldn’t mind paying extra for a more ethical phone, if it had all the bells and whistles and wasn’t half obsolete straight out of the box.

And despite barely getting enough food to eat the men are all jacked bodybuilders with 2% body fat in perfectly fitting muscle tees. Nobody gets utis or fungal infections despite not bathing. No one has to deal either poor eyesight or healing loss (especially since they shoot guns constantly without protection) Nobody gets worms or other parasites from eating bad food. Or dies from dehydration due to diarrhea. Etc etc.

It’s almost like the point of these scenarios is fun escapism and isn’t about perfectly simulating an apocalyptic wasteland down to the most mundane and uninteresting parts.

Not to be “that guy” but lemmygrad is not about national socialism. They are but jobs that will do Olympic level mental gymnastics routines to defend anything and everything Russia or China does, but that doesn’t make then Nazis, “just” on the same moral level as Nazis.
