  • Normies keep falling for scams all the time. They fall for scam on windows, over the phone and in person. We generally try to come up with rules that protect normies without overly complicating lives for everyone else. Like I have to go to a bank personally to increase single transaction limit over certain amount but I don’t have unlock some secret options and wait 24 hours every time I want to wire money to a new account.

    A warning saying “this app is not trusted, don’t install it if someone else instructed you to do so” would be enough here. Advanced users should be able to disable this warning. That’s it.












  • Ok, you go and tell all the companies to stop using apps.

    My car charger? Controlled with an app.

    Location of car chargers? In an app.

    My bike GPS? Controlled with an app.

    My gym entry? An app.

    Climbing wall? An app.

    You tell all those companies to stop using apps and add control panels to everything, go back to paper maps and RFID entry cards. I’m sure they will do it if you explain to them that there are dozens of users that don’t want to register with Google. Dozens!
