It would be really nice if I could own my phone to the point where I could install an outgoing firewall or harden the os to my abilities instead of blind trust

It would be really nice if I could own my phone to the point where I could install an outgoing firewall or harden the os to my abilities instead of blind trust into the diligent but not infallible vendor.

- Zigurd 5y agoYou have touched on the real problem: Most of our digital devices have way too many attack surfaces. If you can secure a movie from being copied by the owner of the device showing the movie, you can hide spyware on that device. That's OK for a usb gizmo you plug into your TV, but why would supposedly security minded enterprises accept that in their computers?
- halotrope 5y agoYes but no. Quite frankly I love iOS and my apps and the camera etc. The big disappointment is really that there is no power user mode for the rest of us. The computer/phone is really an extension of the mind at this point and we gave up control so easily. It is as if we let corporations lock down our pleasure center.
- Krasnol 5y agoYou're a good example though for why it works so well. You're not even ready to sacrifice a bit (that bit being still disputable) to gain more control over your phone by switching the vendor. Meanwhile most people wouldn't even get your first desire. We're and have lost already.
