Ofc they share the blame, but it is not solving the problem.

You can say for example: loan sharks are bad for society; so government gives anyone 0 percent credit. You just removed one problem, created another.

Just and sustaining system with individual morality is destined to fail. Only option is social regulation. Which is at government level.

Everything in life in trade-offs. Simple example is speed/quality/cost. I can tell easily:

- services should be cheap - services should be fast - services should be high quality

Now I created an utopia. Obviously this is amazing to listener. They agree. But is it achievable?

It is not saying greed is good or might makes right. But system means you need to construct from this ideals best outcome ( which comes at some trade offs)

Even with all morally good actors locally, there is no guarantees for external forces. Thinking it hypothetically, even with global coordination ( all good actors ) there is not a proven path that would lead us to better place from any starting point from past.

Then I got from someone an old 286, ( hdd was not working ) spent most of my time on "debug" command. Then I got a book for x86 assembly and DOS (interrupts etc). ( Which was kind of hard on non-english speaking country ) I still somehow recall some pages from memory :)

Dived into cracking/cheats, made even money on password recovery. How long those x86 knowledge carried me was unbelievable when I look back.

  0x9B530150 -> 0x5001539B ->
  01(year_1) 010000(flags) 00(hour_2) 000001(minute) 01010(day) 011(hour_1) 1001(year_2) 1011(month)
  month 1011 -> 11
  year  01 1001 -> 25
  day = 01010 -> 10
  hour = 011 00 -> 12
  minute = 000001 -> 1


 with no endianness change should be: 

 1001(year_2) 1011(month) 01010(day) 01100(hour) 000001(minute) 01(year_1) 010000(flags)

 with your data:

 1001(year_2) 1011(month) 01010(day) 01011 (hour) 000011(minute) 01(year_1) 010000(flags)
 
 16+9=25       11            10        11              3

0-4 month 4-7 year 8-10 hour 11-15 day 22-23 hour 24-29 flags 30-31 year

Except few countries, all EU countries tolerate this

But thats the whole point of carrier profiles ( If I didn't understand wrong. )

Eventually it is the carrier who decides what you can do. ( this can also may be related to deals they made with manufacturers )

I think in this case, it is just missing carrier profile. ( which is like a config file )

So carrier can choose to whitelist/blacklist phones depending on extensions available

I think this is a process; and somehow slowly people accepting those levels, and in a society it becomes normal ( to have whatsapp for friend group, to have facebook for family photos etc etc ) and you are being left out eventually if you are outside of those norms.

So it is not so different for bank to require something like google provided software.

"can't participate in society without a mobile phone" "can't participate in society without internet" "can't participate in society without google"

not sure where is the logical correct threshold making it wrong. because we all accept maybe people not participating without internet.
