Linux crowd is just happy because of no more "I need %s windows-only software". But in everything else -- you're absolutely right, it's horrible that this type of vendor-locked systems even exist.
- DannyBee 14y agoYes, it's truly horrible that a secure system that you can flip a switch to install what you want on it exists. Isn't this exactly what folks have been asking for? Want the secure version, great, that's what you get. Want to put your own stuff, just flip this switch on the back, and it's no longer secure, and you can do what you want to it.
- k_bx 14y agoOne more time. It's horrible and wrong that this kind of vendor-lockness and insecurity of personal data "by default" exist and considered OK. And that fact that they added switch to make you able to install your own OS doesn't change this fact. > Want the secure version, great, that's what you get. Want to put your own stuff, just flip this switch on the back, and it's no longer secure, and you can do what you want to it. This _is_ your own stuff, you're paying money for it, and it _should_ be "secure version" of it, and why do you need to flip anything to get this at all?
