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.

That is quite the problem right there: that 99% of tech users are using tools they don't know anything about.

I know I sound elitist as fuck and people pans me when I bring this subject, but most consumers have no business using the IT tools they use with zero preparation.

When you are at a job position that requires you tu use a tool, you are usually expected to know how to use that tool. 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.

We have got the population used to the idea that they may be required to operate some IT system, but that the responsability of operating that IT system lays on the tech. This is the reason why the hot secretary the boss is fucking won't replenish the printer's ink when it runs out. "I am the secretary, I don't do computer things." Sorry, you actually do secretary things with a fucking computer and a fucking printer and the only reason you don't get kicked is because you have two enormous tits and because we have normalized that people does not need to know how to operate their printers.

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"

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.
