But then third party apps can force users to accept this before they work (here I am especially thinking of school and work apps that people might be forced to use).

In a rental unit you should not have things that can’t be replaced. People who rent it will break things, either by accident or purpose (there are always idiots around).

I think of the books by Charles Stross halting state and rule 34 are both better books and give a better 15 minutes into the future feeling.

Halting state might be a bit dated but rule 34 absolutely holds up.

Do it like china does with iphones. Apple sells them but icloud in china is controlled fully by a chinese company owned and operated by chinese citizens.

While this does not fully prevent backdoors and hacking it does raise the bar quite a lot.

How

I still use my 2015 macbook air (purchased in 2015) as a secondary computer. I installed linux on it last year as it was not getting software updates anymore.

Other than one of the USB ports being a bit flaky it works perfectly fine.

For a long time apple did a lot better for both "hackers" and normal customers compared to the other big operating system company.

They also made a good unix based OS that was easy to purchase on decent hardware (esp laptops).

I use danish and English and I must admit I don’t really encounter issues switching between them on apple or Microsoft operating systems.

Only thing I can think of is some features being available later in danish compared to the English release like the swipe keyboard in iOS.
