real_username56This is Android's new 'advanced flow' for sideloading apps without verification, includes one-day waiting period
SanctusA one day wait period to install an app on your mobile pocket computer. Fucken bullshit.
I think it is a reasonable compromise. They could have made it a day wait for any and every time you wanted to side load like this. It prevents accidental or malicious activation, while also giving you the feature you want with the smallest of roadblocks as confirmation you want it.
TheTechnician27People this willing to let a self-enriching corporate nanny state erode their ability to use the products they paid for terrify me.
People this willing to fall for the blatant corporate strategy of “We’ll announce something unthinkable but then backpedal to something “only” terrible (and then probably do the unthinkable thing later now that we’ve encroached further and softened the blow)” for the millionth time confound me.
Show some dignity; jesus christ. This isn’t a “compromise”. Me breaking into your house, threatening to kill you, but then “only” hitting you with a bat and leaving isn’t a “compromise”.
The constitution basically guarantees us root access to our own lives (life, liberty, and the pursuit of property/happiness). I’d like the same or better for my devices.
