The reason is obvious, which is why I didn’t think I had to say it lol
Imagine if you went to work at a bank in IT for example. They issue you a laptop. You go “oh no it’s ok I’ll use my own, I assure you it’s secure and safe”.
You connect to their network and instantly their network is compromised, every device on the whole network gets a cryptolocker virus.
You said it was secure though, so how did this happen?
You can trust it all you want, but other systems absolutely do not have to, and anything that requires security assurances will not and should not trust it. The device owners word/assurance means nothing.
The software is open and has zero political or ideological leaning is what that person and I mean.
Yours, on the other hand, is not, and does. I’m sure I’m tagged by default on Piefed already as “low quality” or something of the sort, purely because people downvote me because I’m not in the echo chamber of allowed opinions. Over the last few days I’ve had like 300 downvotes to about 15 upvotes just on about 3 comments in the one topic, where my comments are 100% factually, undeniably, demonstrably, correct - but people don’t like it because they think it’s “pro Apple”, and the echo chamber says they have to hate Apple.
That would make Piefed put a giant target on my head, wouldn’t it? Basically telling everyone “block this guy and ban him from your communities”. Lemmy doesn’t do that.
You also have a curated-by-you list of banned sources, which includes basically everything anyone left of centre would call “right wing”, which in reality is anything that isn’t left wing biased. Lemmy doesn’t.
If the only person that can verify the safety of your device is the owner, that device will and should be marked as insecure and not to be trusted in any instance where security matters.
Yet even with lemmys people being like that, their software is free from bias and authoritarian-style features that are made to stifle free speech and to encourage an ideological echo chamber, unlike Piefed.
Piefed is ideologically driven by the creator, and encourages pre-emptive banning and blocking users who don’t just participate in echo chamber behaviour.
Lemmys devs might be ideologically captured too, but their software isn’t, so it’s the better option.
Maybe electric kettles are different where you live, but they are extremely dangerous because of the amount of power needed to heat water to 100% quickly. Iirc some countries don’t even have them because their house can’t provide enough power.
They don’t care if you do that, because if you do that they’re in no way responsible for it anymore. If you do that and it burns your house down it’s all on you.
Those aren’t loopholes though, they’re part of the legislation. Phone makers don’t need to “bullshit” their way out of anything if they meet the criteria, which almost every mobile phone released these days does - making the regulation pretty pointless lol
But those devices don’t have to meet these laws, so they’re irrelevant.
I also didn’t say they have always been great, I said they’ve been at the forefront for years, which is true. Their recent phones are easier to repair than almost any other phones on the market.
PS5 lifetime shipments reached approximately 95.3 million units on a sell-in basis — meaning shipped to retailers, not necessarily activated in consumers’ living rooms. That’s genuinely impressive territory, approaching Nintendo Switch numbers.
If by approaching Nintendo switch numbers you mean 60 million units behind the switch lol

Phones absolutely should have screws like they have though, as flathead and philips head, especially at that size, are way too prone to burring.
They’re not even really “non standard” screws at this point. Anyone can buy a screwdriver set for a few bucks to disassemble an iPhone.

The root of trust can never be on the owner of the device for anything that requires actual security.

Well when you think about it this is just another form of control over businesses. That’s equally authoritarian.
My words were the truth, I guess that’s why they have an issue with them 🤣
Iran is an aggressor. They will literally tell you this themselves lol
The west don’t want everyone who doesn’t have their same religious beliefs dead. Can’t say the same about Iran and most of the Middle East.
How are you checking what closed source systems are doing?

What a ridiculous and pointless comment.
It would be especially hard to replace the RAM and SOC in them actually.
They “laugh at losses” because these are on-paper gains and losses. It’s not money they have access to, it’s not money in their bank account.

What exactly do you think you’d be able to easily repair on a video game console?
