The fact that the phone manufacturer has a more privileged access than the owner of the phone is absolute insanity.
- robertlagrant 2y agoThat's pretty normal, isn't it? Do you have more privileged access to your phone than its kernel does?
- realusername 2y agoI'd prefer it to work like a normal computer where there's a separation of the OS and the hardware. But sure, other phones aren't better.
- robertlagrant 2y agoI'm not sure I've used any operating system where I have more privilege than the kernel does.
- cassianoleal 2y agoYou can escalate your privilege if you can freely choose which kernel to run. Maybe you won’t have _more_ privilege than the kernel but you would certainly have as much.
- robertlagrant 2y agoI can escalate my privilege to be higher than the kernel's?
