I know right? they should do what other manufacturers do: sell insecure hardware to consumers, and charge 10x extra for bolted-on-later security for people who "need it".
After all, there's never been articles about exploiting consumer devices through firmware and driver flaws, right? Nor have there ever been attacks caused by plugging in peripherals.
You can either have secure hardware, or tamperable hardware, you can't have both.

- dotnet00 3y agoSecurity, for the average person, is not all or nothing, unless you're suggesting that every Apple user also automatically gains perfect password management practices and all software running on it becomes unexploitable. It's funny how Apple must not be criticized for its unethical practices, its hardware is secure while other devices are insecure, all over highly targeted exploit vectors that do not apply to the vast majority of Apple users, while all the low-hanging, wide impact exploits remain just as open. Just another part of Apple's 'reality distortion field' - lock down the hardware, thwart repair efforts, tell people it's for their own good and you get people acting like Apple devices are secure from the threats which matter most.
