Yes, this shitty world where we can't control our devices we need to have (as they need to work against us) seems to be inevitable.

But I'm actually happy that these "protections" don't yet exist on desktop (albeit DRM already does). If something really needs to work against my interest (for greater good), be it a smartcard, not my smartphone and definitely not my PC.

(Note: They do, but platform-native things are anathema to Electron and most apps, so.)


Ah, you probably meant TPM + Intel/AMD signatures + Windows + Microsoft signatures + Microsoft restricting the way Windows can be modified?

Not good, hopefully Microslop continues its downfall so that apps won't start using this "for securiy"..
