If you exclude themselves from the threat model of course, which I don't see why you would
- acdha 3y agoThose are separate threats. You must accept the risk of your hardware manufacturer being compromised but that’s very different from also accepting the risk that any third-party with brief physical access can compromise your device.
- realusername 3y agoWhat happened is that instead of the user having all the rights, now it's Apple having them all instead. Not a single security problem was reduced here, the threat model just moved from users to Apple.

If you don’t understand why this isn’t true, I would respectfully start reading about what the platform does. It’s not like it was around the turn of the century where PCs and Macs were roughly equivalent.
- realusername 3y agoI know what the platform does, and that's why I have this opinion and also why I don't want any of it.
- acdha 3y agoNot wanting it is a valid position. Lying about it not solving real problems is not.
- realusername 3y agoI'm not saying it doesn't solve real problems, I'm saying its swapping problems into others. Sure you can find some problems that have been solved but for each of those, there's a brand new problem created and not necessarily any better than the previous one.
