I miss the days when computing was focused on trying to protect the user from developers. These days it's more and more protecting the developer from the users.

I can still use my bank's "app" (read: web site) and stream videos on my desktop, which has an entirely unlocked bootloader.

That's coming. Just wait.

Sounds like you've stumbled on another thing we need to regulate.

We should do this sort of iterative thought experiment w.r.t. regulations all the time.

It's sort of like compiling a big package of code. Just keep trying to compile and fixing the errors that come up until it compiles.

Yes, regulating everything someone doesn’t like has a long storied history of success.

Do you feel that the level of regulation that we have in the tech sector is sufficient?

Why/why not?
