Fair enough. I would just draw the line at mandating continued software support and updates. I was actually thinking earlier and would amend my "emperor for a day" plan. I think we should mandate an analog to Matt Levines Certificate for Dumb Investment (https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2018-09-24/earnin...). Vendors like Apple should be required to provide a mechanism to "jailbreak" any device they make so a user can run any firmware/software they choose, but to get access to that tool they need to go to apple.com and sign a form that says in big, bold red letters:
"THIS IS A REALLY BAD IDEA AND DOING THIS VOIDS ANY WARRANTY OR GUARANTEE WE MAKE FOR THIS DEVICE. AND IF YOU INSIST ON DOING THIS YOU WILL PROBABLY EITHER GET HACKED OR LOSE ALL YOUR DATA. SO PLEASE DON'T DO THIS UNLESS YOU ARE 100% SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING. AND IF YOU THINK YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING YOU ARE PROBABLY WRONG."
And if you sign that you can download a tool to jailbreak your iPhone.
