because why else make changes to something not broken? I haven’t heard any big cases for locking down side loading.

broader context, google is slowly killing ASOP. they’re slowly closing its source, changing what made android great to a lot of people. They’ve started by only releasing source code on release.

on another note to other readers.

this reaks of astortufing. new account, and heavy belief in the good of corporations.

also

its a corp it can’t just make claims and not follow on them.

counter point. Apple in the announcement said that iMesaage would be an open platform. where did that go?

they can and do lie. all the fucking time

Totally on that page with you.

But there’s a lot of people who will come say that, but only comment on China related calls, which reaks of “all lives matter” level of disingenuous.

I’ll bite.

How often do you comment that on non Chinese cars?

What do you think an intentional leak is?

The last section specifically calls out an apple example

Provoking, the fourth type of leak, involves companies leaking truthful information in the hopes of obtaining useful information. In “How Apple Does Controlled Leaks” John Martellaro suggests that before launching the iPad, Apple may have released tablet information early for several reasons including wanting to gauge reaction to a US$1,000 price point; to panic or confuse competitors; or to whet analyst expectations. Hannah et al. caution that provoking could backfire if affected parties act on information they assume to be final but that subsequently turns out not to be, negatively affecting a company’s reputation.

No, it starts months before with teases and leaks.

Also like, you agree you knew what was in the envelope, you think that was an accident?

do you really think marketing starts at a launch? people have to know what’s going to be announced to be excited to watch.

of course leaks are a part of that.

Not really no. It doesn’t build hype.

your thinking the average as the mean.

I’m meaning average to be 20th percentile.

meaning “most” people where your average would only include half of all people.

my favourite park ranger quote was talking about why bear proof bear garbage containers weren’t better. The answer was along the lines of there’s a siginificat overlap between cleaver bears, and not so cleaver people.

you have to account for more than average, you have yo account for below it, so that its accesaible to more than 50% of people.

“Put the thing in the slot”.

Which slot? Where?

“Formatting it”

Format a drive? What’s that?

“Its nor brain surgery”.

Your assuming a tech literacy that simply doesnt exisit in the general populace.

All your points about HDDs being physical assume you have computer knowledge to know what to do with a HDD.

There’s USB ones, but that’s what your limited to when it comes to casual users who just want it to work.

Everyone old enough knows how to handle a CD.
