He will lose the sense of security from interacting with other iPhone users which Apple’s walled garden currently provides. The existence of third party appstores on iOS mean I can no longer be sure that an app on an another person iPhone is safe. There’s 100 percent going to be a zero day delivered through these third party Appstores which will spread to iOS devices without any third party AppStore’s installed.
This whole situation seems Kafkaesque. Apple sold billions of iOS devices because party because of the experience they were offering. People like me sort that experience out. Now people saying are that no, that experience was anti consumer.
There’s less choice in the mobile smart phone space because of this. I have no idea why people want iOS to be Android when there’s already Android. And apparently Google’s Android model isn’t good enough either.
You are VASTLY overestimating how strong the App Store vetting process is. The majority of the security comes from strong sandboxing in the OS, which also applies to apps installed through third-party stores (or Xcode, etc)
I agree with that line of thought too, but one side is sort of represented a terrorist organization who have the ability to murder 1200 people and kidnap others while the other is a western democracy that has the ability kill 30k people as collateral damage level. The collateral damage is so high but people like Sam Harris is saying Israel is engaging in a restrained manner compared to other powers previous retaliatory actions to terrorism.
If it required the wrench, it was at least un-hackable enough. Part of the reason for remote hacking is to avoid alerting the hacked party to what's going on, which is obviously failed by the time you're hitting them with a wrench.
At the end of the day, you want the data. Sure, it's much more convenient to get the data from a device, but if you had to get it somewhere else, the data is obtainable.
People can replace doom strolling or social media usage with some reading but after a certain point you will also need to give up certain hobbies or other activities to be as prolific as some other readers.
Yeah you could spend one hour reading over playing that new online game with your friend or watching that new drama with your spouse but then you aren’t socializing.
Or maybe you really care about flexibility so you spend the extra hour you have in the evening doing mobility drills and yoga.
Or maybe you are trying to not fall behind the AI craze in tech so you spend an hour reading about the latest models and experimenting with them.
Point is the person reading for one hour also isn’t doing what you doing. There’s also this underlying assumption that reading is always productive when there’s a lot of low quality content that’s easily consumed. Not every book is East of Eden.
It’s almost night and day compared to when Bob Lee was murdered and they thought vagrant or some other (insert stereotype here) was the culprit. Remember how tough on crime this crowd was then ?
Remember the silence and lack of thought pieces when it turned out to be someone he knew instead of some brown person or drug addict ?
