With that in mind, I should be able to run any operating system on an iPhone I bought. Apple should not be required to actively support this, put in extra work to document things or whatnot, but they should not be allowed to actively make things harder.
I should be able to run any OS on my Samsung TV that I bought. Samsung should support it with an SDK. They should provide warranty and support for me if the OS I chose to install destroyed the screen.
Do you see how silly the above statement is?
- danbruc 3y agoNo, I don't. I specifically said that they should not be required to actively support this, write and publish documentation or even provide a SDK. And I said nothing about providing warranty, replacing the operating system could just void the warranty. Again, I did not ask for active support, I asked for no active blocking, i.e. putting in extra work to block something that would naturally be possible.
- aurareturn 3y agoOk, I read it wrong. But I still disagree. Why does Apple have to allow a different OS to run on their hardware? That's absurd. I don't demand that my refrigerator let me run my own software if I want to - nor do I demand that of my headphones, car, microwave, etc.
