A gentle reminder that “sideloading” is optional and probably won’t be easy to activate, so your mom is safe.

Scammers could already find a way in by using certificates or something like that.

Yeah until the big apps decide they’re big enough to get users to switch off the App Store. Then grandma is trying to follow instructions from an email to install Facebook and disable the protections, and now she’s screwed it up and there’s malware.

Every trip home for the holidays in about getting all the crap to make her computer usable again. Now I’ll have to do that to her phone, too??

EU doesn't even have sideloading yet and you are already creating fake scare-fantasies in your head, my god lol
