The security issue has not really anything to do with where you install something, but that when you run something it has access to everything you have.

Linux needs fine grained easy to use permissions, on desktop _and_ servers, there is a reason there is a high investment in container technologies and there is selinux and apparmor.

I think the idea is that most people have more space vertically than horizontally and like to stack appliances, e.g. washer on the bottom, dryer on top

Carbon credits where open to any companies, so it wasn't a unfair subsidy.

EV incentives where also not limited to us companies.

I mean there is the no true linux argument, but covering the main stream desktops you basically have kde which is written with qt(so qt is native) or gnome which is written with gtk and both frameworks/DEs do implement other things besides "just" the gui, so you are native.

Really, how?

At some point someone will need to issue a key, which at some point will need to be verified against known good signatures.

These signatures will also need to be kept in case of lawsuirs/enforcement, so if somebody gets access they will know you visited that site

Something that only came with the banking apps was opening of accounts via camera based identification and other security critical stuff, like 2fa for transfers, resetting card pins and setting other security features.

It's also easier to scan payments via app than go to the bank, something that is only possible via native like apps

Ironically using "modern" filesystems like zfs or btrfs you can do that if they are on the same disk

Depending on your app this is not all.

If i send a golang binary to someone with a mac via signal or other mediums, apple simply displays a dialog that the app is damaged and can't be run.

You need to use chmod to manually remove the quarantine flag to run it.

That for me is something that should be fined ad infinitum, because it is clearly designed to disallow non technical people to run custom apps.

I think the major different between that and KI is that the the Night-Vision is mostly static and knowable through experience/teaching, while KI is an ever moving target where you experience is zero on every new display/question.

I think the idea of an hud is better than the current paradigm, but it doesn't solve the fundamental problem.

If the metallic frame is on fire and the circuit breaker doesn't trigger when you turn on, then the manufacturer has some explaining to do.

Don't know, I just make sure there is no power.

Screw in a light bulb and you work with 230V and we still allow people to screw in their own light bulbs

The licenced design seems to include the front part of the car per the above comment, that would mean creating seperate models for EOL games.

I mean it kinda is already with android being made by google.

The hard problem is not even necessarily building android, the hard problem is afaik the custom firmwares needing a very specific kernel version to work with and having security issues of their own.

If you then want to decouple software completly form any hardware chip it get's complicated fast, are usb ICs software?

Do all ic manufactures now need to hire external companies for their firmware?
