Tried that. Didn’t go great.

How else are you going to have the ability to revoke malware’s signing keys to get it to stop running on every machine immediately?

I like Chrome OS's approach where you essentially choose your security level at initial setup, and need to wipe your machine if you wish to change it.

No, that would still suck.

I helped my mother out with a computer, gave her a mac after she called twic a wee about a windows popup. Eventually she became a grandmother, and later in old age, with dementia she stlll using the mac more or less successfully to google and e-mail. Intentionality, coordination are important for keeping cognitive faculty. It all sounds so easy, but letting her send e-mail through voice could create confusing situations.

We are all creeping toward old age. Let’s be kind to our future selves.

Who's to say the criminals won't use a genAI agent to call grandma and social-engineer her so they can drain her bank account?

This attitude is worse than Apple’s.

No thanks.

Apple is the personified Enshitification among Microsoft.
