Tim: <b>Be careful when sideloading.</b><br><br>Android users: <b>I’m gonna pretend I didn’t hear that.</b>,(reply>), @Jason Larawan Most people don't know what they're doing. Not everyone is tech savvy or want to invest the time to become tech savvy. Many just want a product that works.,(reply>), @Girvo That's a load of bullshit because most average users won't bother trying to sideload anything outside of the Play Store to begin with.<br><br>You'd have to be a colossal idiot to get a virus on Android.,(reply>), @alstonmiller212 you said people choose apple because of greater safety and said you were arguing for sideloading that needs to be enabled. Android has sideloading that needs to be enabled. Therefore, your argument that apple is in anyway better or that apple shouldn't do it the Android way to protect the elderly is null and is based of not knowing what the android way is. <br><br>If you agree that putting it behind a setting that requires it to be enabled is the best way, you had no reason to comment about the dangers of the way Android implements it. Of course, I understand and know you may simply not know what sideloading looks like on android, being an apple user you may not have reason to, but I'm just trying to make you aware your prior comments seem based on assumptions of how it works on android as opposed to how it is. <br><br>I think the importance of personal experience differs also depending on career. Careers as IT technicians in general and so forth are very much based on personal experience, even if medicine isn't (it isn't medicine after all, so what works in medicine may not work in it). His sharing of experience is valid and in no way an easily dismissible statement, at least not without research or experience that matches it.,(reply>), @Jason Larawan most people don't know what they are doing, we are a very small group of people who know about tech, most people are boomers who barely know how to use facebook,(reply>), @Girvo Maybe by number of bad malware files, but most people sideloading are installing apks from fdroid or something, and most malware comes from copycat apps on the play store to reach dumb users
