I think it would be sadder if mom and dad had terrible security and lost their savings or treasured memories as a result. Optimizing for one group is always going to cause some problems for a different group, and if I had to choose I'd optimize for the majority every time.
- amelius 6y agoBut you're sailing along with a false dichotomy. We can have hardware that is safe for mom and dad, and open for professionals.
- themacguffinman 6y agoI'll just have to disagree that it's a false dichotomy. System openness is diametrically opposed to security; the more open a system is, the more insecure it becomes. This is especially true for mainstream consumers who have little knowledge or skill to administrate open systems securely. It's one of the classic engineering trade-offs, thinking you can have your cake and eat it to seems pretty ignorant to me.
