How long do we have before PCs get locked bootloaders and corporations ban installation of "non-approved" software? (for context: Google is restricting sideloading worldwide on Android ETA 2027)

I’m talking about on your own machine. Obviously it’s different if you’re using a work-controlled machine that you don’t control.

Defender, on your own machine that you control, never completely stops you from installing things. Seems you just don’t know how to ignore the defender warnings lol.

Yeah try to weasel out of that one “I was talking about your own pc not a corporate pc which the discussion was about”.

So angry.

Corporate pc defender rules are set by the corporation - of course the end user can’t bypass their rules.

Microsoft don’t set those rules, each individual company does. What you’re saying makes no sense.
