This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
If this flow existed once for disabling the entire feature permanently, I would be okay with it. But it seems like they are going to intentionally make installing any software they don’t get a piece of painful to install every time. That is not an acceptable compromise.
Thank god. I would've ditched Android for good if this went through, and while it sounds like it would be annoying for casual users to enable unverified apps, at least we can still install them.
You would have ditched Android for ios if it were implemented?
I would not have done so, but I think there's a reasonable argument that if Apple and Google's mobile platforms are indistinguishable in terms of user freedom and Google is going to try to be Apple, ya may as well just go with the better Apple
At least the apple ecosystem all works. Androids full of shit that will never be fixed. Looking at Google cast in particular. There have been many others too.
Ive been using Android for more than a decade, fwiw
How about they drop the entire thing and keep it as it was and is?
victory is ours
For now
I wonder if they realized phone sales would drop if they made it virtually impossible to maintain privacy apps and OS.
My guess is they're going to do what Microsoft do (or used to do until about 6 months ago) when you want to sideload anything on their consoles: They charge you. You buy dev access for your account and use it to unlock your phone.
