> You're either fully locked in, or fully on your own. I'm not sure what you mean by that. You can trivially root a Pixel factory image. And if you're talking about how they will punish you for that by removing certain features: Apple does that too (but to a lesser extent). https://github.com/cormiertyshawn895/RecordingIndicatorUtili...

> to provide a trusted boot chain the way Apple does Your flaw is assuming that Apple's only doing that for your security and has no ulterior motives. But iOS apps are disabled and Netflix reduces to a lower resolution when you disable System Integrity Protection on a Mac (among other things?). The trusted boot chain is clearly a DRM enforcement tool in addition to being a security feature. https://github.com/cormiertyshawn895/RecordingIndicatorUtili...

In the past I've used microsnitch on macos which tells you when the mic or camera are activated, but macos seems to have support for this baked into the os now. In zoom calls the menu bar shows what is active. If this can be sidestepped and avoided in software, and the camera can be activated without any indicator, I do not know. If direct access can be done, and you don't need to go through some apple api to hit the camera, maybe. edit: looks easily bypassed https://github.com/cormiertyshawn895/RecordingIndicatorUtili...

It does lock you out of iOS apps, Apple Pay, and 4K streaming of DRM content [1]. But that's not so bad I suppose. [1] https://github.com/cormiertyshawn895/RecordingIndicatorUtili...

There's this but it requires starting in recovery mode: https://github.com/cormiertyshawn895/RecordingIndicatorUtili...
