    There’s a middle ground between complete disregard and complete lockdown. If you’ve got a better solution to scammers that isn’t going to drain your battery, invade your privacy, or hog up resources, I’m all ears. Grow up a little and maybe stop being so “me” centric.

      Tone it down. Do you still want to be nurtured by the big corporations like them being your mommy? A solution is already out there, it is called secure boot. Google has unnecessarily convoluted the boot chain, and even the OS VM.

      Do you think UEFI on a smartphone is a bad idea?

      Also, the Android VM is not even necessary, it just makes development cumbersome, cross-platform compatibility worse, and I could go on.

        It’s not for me. It’s for the tech illiterate. Secure boot doesn’t stop you from granting remote access apps from running.

            You mean the side loaded app anyone could make to allow remote device use of a phone if you install it?

              No, take an example of a 2FA mandatory authentication for a bank transaction, security taken care at userspace.
