This is an awful lot of math. It’s funny juxtaposed to your other comment disregarding the need for mathematics background in encryption.

It seems like you have an issue with _how_ the math is explain, not _that_ the math is explained.

Can you explain why? It’s my understanding that every cryptographic algorithm is based on math, much of it not so simple.

When everything is finite and memory is always limited, what are you meaningfully saying about the possible behaviors of software here?

The third bullet point explicitly mentions the device being compromised, so I think it’s unfair to paint that as unrelated to security or just a parental-control issue.

That’s not necessarily true. The government grants the right to a free public education, for example. So-called positive rights are not something you’re born with, as opposed to negative rights, which are things you’re protected from the go

The US constitution only describes the powers the government has and some restrictions of those powers.

So why are you mentioning it like it’s a unique drawback? It’s inherent to the activity!

> computers are naturally able to compute. Computers aren’t naturally able to do anything. This specific computer system was created as an iOS machine. That’s it’s “””natural””” purpose.

I think that’s an important part of it, yes. Do you feel that if you bought an xbox that don’t own that?

Yes. It doesn’t provide any access to it at all.

Of course there’s nothing inherent to it that makes it locked down. The microprocessor in my dishwasher could also run arbitrary code. That doesn’t mean locking it down is bad or wrong.

Isn’t that how every locked down computer is created?

> It doesn't need to be "turned" into a general purpose device. It already is. That's its nature I don’t understand what you’re saying. Apple didn’t find these devices in the wild and tame them. They created them.

Why? What makes phones general purpose that wouldn’t apply to an xbox?

I would argue that phones are not general purpose computing devices either.

Homeless people also exist in non-capitalist economies so I’m not certain that is evidence of anything. Scarcity is the problem, not capitalism.

I’m confused about what you’re saying here. GP doesn’t imply no one could possibly enjoy metaverse; when they are talking about “what people want,” I think this should be taken as “what [the vast majority of] people want.” This is in line w
