    Yes and no. I absolutely understand what you mean. And I was the same.

    But then my tech-autism caused me to dig into cybersecurity and now I actually disagree with you.

    I.E. have I completely stopped doing any type of banking on a device that isn’t running a completely locked down iOS or Android.

      It is not a security thing to me. It is a “I want to do what I want to do with the things I paid for” thing.

      I know full well something so locked down is technically more secure, but using those platforms as my primary devices would cause a lose of device flexibility I have no interest in taking part in for the use cases of a desktop or laptop.

      Those platforms have their place, just like my video game consoles. But I am not interested in making anything I consider important contingent on something that is more at the whims of the company that made it than me.
