Sounds like something the Master Control Program would have said in the 1980s "Tron"
@lexd0g ironically enough i'd probably trust a device more if it had this message
@lexd0g FYI, you can sometimes lock it back with a custom ROM. I do so on Pixel 3a with Lineage-based DivestOS. It will still show a warning, but will only say that you're running a custom OS.
@mks_h yeah im on the stock ROM but with magisk installed on my pixel 8 so i cant really do that lol
@lexd0g you forgot g.co/ABH (yes I know that link from memory)
@leo@60228.dev@lexd0g to be fair, ideally even when running a custom ROM you would meet YELLOW ("Your device is loading a different operating system.") rather than ORANGE
the problem is that custom ROM devs don't want to support that because they'll get blamed if a user misconfigures it and breaks their boot
@leo@60228.dev@lexd0g tbh i think the ORANGE warning should be scarier. something like "You should NEVER see this on a production device. If using a third party operating system, contact its developer."
@lexd0g Threat models, am I right?
@dianea@lgbtqia.space@lexd0g after modifying the bootloader, it says it cannot install "updates." And that was an added bonus!
I'm getting tiered of that message. Time to upgrade to GrapheneOS.
@Aether_Well you'll still get a boot message just not that one
@lexd0g "Trusted computing" my ass.
Let the end user decide who to trust.
@yuki2501 i think informing the user their device might have been tampered with is a really good thing actually
@lexd0g Yes, but the thing is that they also block alternate OSs from booting. The entire trusted computing thing was a Microsoft maneuver to kill Linux; everyone in computing forums made a fuzz about it back then.
@yuki2501 no they dont? you just unlock the bootloader and then you can boot whatever you want and relock the bootloader on another OS if you want
@lexd0g@wetdry.world boot loader for my phone is useless there is no good custom rom support xd stuck with mi ui :(
@lexd0g Despite this being an Apple commercial, they are now the worst offenders.
