its still not an excuse for them to do it.  Besides 99% of the population have zero concept of any of that. "i bought a phone.. its mine"

While i disagree with the concept, at the least if you were leasing features, didn't pay, then they vanished i understand.   But this is different and if they do it, the flood gates open.

If you get stuff removed from your phone, you had it comming because you were knowingly using a backdoored system and took no precautions.

Right, knowing the insides and out of the phone that you know how to operate, that is a techs job.  its 2024, a phone is a consumer object, not much different in principle than a toaster. Turn it on, it does stuff. 

Sure, it would be nice to have people understand more of the 'hows' 'whys' and 'risks' but its not a realistic expectation any more than they know how the screen on their TV works.." i turn it on, cat videos play, it dies, it goes to the shop". Most people don't have the brain power, or interest. "its a black box, it should spit out cat video when i want"

If you are supposed to drive a truck, you are expected to know how to drive a truck. Yes, fixing the truck when it breaks is a tech's job, but using the truck for regular operation is the driver's.

sort of like what i tell people at work

"Our users are idiots since they dont know how to xyz, it so simple" "Yes, you are right, they dont know as that is our job, its why we exist. And, i bet if you tried to do their job for a week, you would look like an idiot"

( tho that is veering OT of the room a bit.. )

Looks like Musk sold out, is complying with Brazil court orders.

As always, money wins.
