Because it's their creation.
- shafoshaf 6mo agoI don't know if that is sarcasm, but a chair I buy is mine to do whatever I want with it. Same goes for clothes, a mattress, paint, or any other non-software enabled physical item. Why does having software/hardware make a difference?
- tkel 6mo agoBecause capitalists extend control wherever they can to maximize profitability. If you want decisions that corporations make to be aligned with the desires of their users, you should be advocating for software/hardware built by consumer cooperatives.
- something765478 6mo agoBecause your clothes and paint do not need security updates, since they do not talk to the internet. Your mattress cannot be made part of a botnet.
- SauntSolaire 6mo agoTell that to my eightSleep mattress
- xigoi 6mo agoSomehow my computer has not become part of a botnet despite having a free OS.
- 63stack 6mo agoA quite large chunk of botnet "members" are IoT crap (even mattresses).

- wilsonnb3 6mo agoYou can do whatever you want with your phone too, it isn’t illegal to jailbreak an iPhone for example.
- LocalH 6mo agoThat scene is dying a boiling-frog death. The newest OS that is fully jailbreakable on a sufficiently-modern arm64e device is 16.5.1 (go back a few models to the iPhone X and the current Dopamine beta works up to 16.7.15). There is also a "semi-jailbreak" called nathanlr, which is less full featured and works up to iOS 17.0 on iPhone 15 and prior. There's also TrollStore which isn't a jailbreak, but allows unlimited sideloading with arbitrary entitlements. This tool only functions on the following versions of iOS: 14.0 beta 2 - 16.6.1, 16.7 RC (20H18), 17.0 These OS versions are getting long in the tooth, and apps are already starting to drop support for them.
