Isn't that making a decision for you? "users will only ever need to install software from our central app store" is deciding for the user that they don't need to be able to run whatever software they want on their device

I suppose they mean taking Apple's "We know what is good for you better than you do" approach. While Apple currently does not force OS upgrades, they do make a lot of decisions for their users without giving their users an op

About a year ago I was living in a place with a broken doorbell so I wrote a web page that would send me a text when it was loaded (hosted on my Pi). I then printed a QR code for the page that stated clearly "To ring bell, scan code&qu

What an amazing thing to put in a EULA. Are they somehow sponsored by China?

Why are you trying to teach me English? This teacher should be arrested for trying to overthrow the government... What is the "broader explanation" for this English textbook?
