You're still not getting it. iOS and the locked down game consoles that preceded it all demonstrate the technical feasibility of these controls. All that prevents it is political policy. I didn't say iOS was the first to do it. I didn't say that you are presently forced to buy such devices. And I certainly didn't say that desktop Linux would survive the sort of totalitarianism the tech industry has invented the means to implement. You're missing the point so severely that it's hard for me to understand where my explanations could be falling short. Are you trying to get a rise out of me?
