The lack of choice is a problem. I’d support a law that mandated that all Turing-complete machines allow its owner to execute whatever code he wants on it, and therefore that iOS devices allow third-party apps (and third-party app stores) to be installed.
- threeseed 8y agoYou can signup for a Developer account and then execute whatever code you like on the device. You just don't have a right to distribute that code to others. And that's one of the reasons why many of us like iOS since I can almost guarantee I won't have malware, viruses etc.
- gruez 8y agoWhat if the device is a HSM? In that case not being able to execute arbitrary code is a feature for me.
- CaptainMarvel 8y agoA HSM does not necessarily have to be Turing complete, I think.
