You mean like Android or iOS?
- mpartel 8y agoLike iOS yes, and some, but not all, Android manufacturers/phones. "Others do it too" is not a very good justification in my mind.
- guardian5x 8y ago"Others do it too" is not a good justification of course. But his comment also fails to to explain how Microsoft is somehow more evil than the industry standard.
- mpartel 8y agoBootloader lockdown was practically unheard of for the PC/laptop form factor before Microsoft started doing it for ARM laptops. And and it's not even really standard for phones. Plenty of Android phones have unlockable bootloaders (see LineageOS). I don't think whether one is more evil than Apple/iOS in this regard is a good benchmark.
- hobofan 8y agoYou mean unlike most other desktop/laptop OEMs/manufacturers? (which would be the more apt point of reference)
